O Come All Ye Deep Ones
Lyrics by A.H. Leman to the tune of "O Come All Ye Faithful" by John Reading

O come all ye Deep Ones,
Mi-Go, Ghouls and Nightgaunhts;
Come foul Shub Niggurath and all Ancient Ones.
Come Great Cthulhom the ocean.

CHORUS
O come, let us abhor them,
O come, let us abhor them,
O come, let us abhor them,
Scream, run and hide.

Their old dominion
Mankind now rules blithely,
Stars turning overhead to bring forth his doom.
They will return here, greedy and malevolent.
CHORUS

H.P. the Writer (as sung to Frosty the Snowman)

H.P. the Writer
Wasn't happy so we're told
With his horrid health
and his lack of wealth
he wrote tales to make blood cold

H.P. the Writer
Got an idea in his head
We weren't meant to know
of the things below
He would make up more instead

There must have been a reason
for the strange names that he chose
When you first read of Cthulhu
You couldn't pronounce it, we all know

H.P. the Writer
Shuffled off this mortal coil
Now in Providence
he's behind a fence,
buried underneath the soil

Great Old Ones Are Coming to Town
You'd better watch out; you better go hide.
And Elder Sign's needed for this Yuletide
Great Old Ones are comin to town.nd shaking it twice.
They're going to hit you, naughty or nice.
Great Old Ones are coming to town.

They're bringing ugly Shuggoths,
And horrid Deep Ones too,
Shub Niggurath is waking up
And so is Cthulhu

So you better watch out, you'd better go 'way,
Before the big guy comes up from R'lyeh.
Great Old Ones are coming to town.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Cultist

Rudolph the Red Nosed Cultist
had a few insanities
and if you ever saw him
he'll be chanting with great glee
Cthulhu fthagn Ia - aa
He is sleeping 'neath the foam
as he stared out the window
through the bars where he made his home
Then one foggy moon streaked eve
Cthulhu came to say
Rudolph with your mind so brave
won't you be my eternal slave
then all the other cultists
join Rudolph the mighty high priest
has joined Cthulhu in his lair.

2. Thank god it's here at last!

Cthulhu Christmas! My own fire-roasted chestnut from last year:

Cthulhu the Old One
Was a killing hateful soul
With a sharpened beak that would make you squeak
As he stooped to eat you whole

Cthulhu the Old One
Is a fairy tale they say
Well for now he sleeps
But the eldritch know
How he came to life one day:

There must have been some magic
In that old chant that they found
For when they cried "Shub-Niggurath!"
He began to dance around!

Cthulhu the Old One
Was alive as he could be
And his children say
He'll return one day
And he'll torture you and me

Cthulhu the Old One
Said, "C'mon, let's have some fun!"
And he beat them dead and he ate their heads
And he killed them one by one

The people sad knew they'd been had
And so they all did pray
They summoned forth old Zoth-Ommog
To make Cthulhu pay!

Cthulhu the Old One
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying "You will die!
I will rise again someday!"

(I forget the guy's name who did the illustration-it's around here somewhere-I still can't get over how cute it is.)

4. You dare lay a turd on Cthulhu Christmas?

Philistine! No unbeliever shall sully our sacred circle. Go back to GD, where you belong.
