Cthulhu's Garden - a filk by Abner J. Mintz and Sean Roberts
To the tune of 'Octopus's Garden' by the Beatles

 (Chorus)
 Don't want to be
 Under the sea
 In Dread Cthulhu's garden
 In R'yleh

 Don't want to fight
 Unearthly lights
 And the thought of
 Seeing Mi-Go makes me gray

 Cthonians laugh and move around
 Because they know we're aboveground

 (Chorus)

 I haven't got
 Even a shot
 Of getting myself mugged
 By a Deep One

 I'm paranoid
 And so I will avoid
 Places never touched
 By direct sun

 I won't mention He Who's Never Named
 But Hunting Horrors can't be tamed

 (Chorus)

 Don't want to be
 Where geometry
 Has gone on holiday
 At the beach

 Sanity demands
 Creatures with hands
 Not a million tentacles
 On a leech!

 The Hounds give chase, I know I'm in a race
 Round off the corners, that's what I must do

 (Chorus)

 If sentient trash
 Burbles for my cash
 A homeless shoggoth?
 You know I'll be sure

 To keep a tin
 Of gelatin
 And while its making friends
 I will abjure!

 An Elder Sign would help me to be free
 Of this black mass that wants to eat me

 (Chorus)
