A Cthulhu Hymnal

Don't Go That Way

Apparently by John Crowdis. To be sung to the tune of ``Achy Breaky Heart'':

It started with a look
In an old and dusty book
Of things we were not really meant to know.
And now I'm running scared
From dread beyond compare
And an invite for being dinner at Tcho Tcho's!

This house is awf'ly dark
Let's go back up to the park
But perhaps that isn't such a good path
The last time I was there,
Do you remember Blair?
He was carried off by Shub-Niggurath!

CHORUS: Don't go that way,
I'd rather have you stay
With me in this terrifying dream
But if you go that way
I'll go the other way
And listen for your distant awful screams, aaaaauugh!

Off to the bayou
Where they're playin' with Voodoo
But I don't like the sound of that grim song.
Don't pull out your big gun
I'd really rather run
From people calling evil Chaugnar Faugn.

And now they're playin' games
Like ping pong with my brains
Please believe me it's the truth I'm telling you!
For deep beneath the sea,
In slime and sawing ``zees''
Is a huge and ugly Great Cthulhu.

CHORUS: Don't go that way
I'd rather have you stay
With me in this terrifying dream
But if you go that way
I'll go the other way
And listen for your distant awful screams, aaaaaaugh!

Don't go that way
How much should I pay
For you not to go down that deep hole
'Cause I don't have a rope
And there isn't that much hope
If you wind up annoying a big dhole, eeeeeeeww!

Don't go that way
You really ought to stay,
Your safer here of that fact I am sure
But if we decide to stay,
Be careful not to say
The name of the unnamed one called Hastur...

oops.
