by Jonathan Turner and Allen Wilkins ttto "Never Set the Cat on Fire"
Never summon Yog-Sothoth; you only will annoy him
Your Elder Signs may make him wroth, but never will destroy him
Likewise do not invite the shoggoth, Abhoth, Azathoth, or Shub-Niggurath
And never summon Yog-Sothoth
CHORUS:
And run like blazes from anything that rhymes with "oth"
And never summon Yog-Sothoth
Don't open up forbidden books; your brain will turn to liquid
It's not as funny as it looks; a band-aid will not fix it.
And though you'd like to learn some more, don't knock on Mr. Lovecraft's door
Don't open up forbidden books
Don't change the rotting corpses' status; they're not often grateful
They're sure to eat the neighbor's cat, as well as things more hateful
And mother won't be overjoyed to meet once more with Uncle Floyd
Don't change the rotting corpses' status
Don't call up what you can't put down; That's all that there is to it.
Old Alhazred would surely frown if he could see you do it;
For when he broke that first of laws, he was consumed by unseen jaws:
Don't call up what you can't put down.
Don't slaughter all the human race, then say you didn't mean it
If corpses pile all o'er the place, you'll only have to clean it
If all mankind goes mad with fear, you're grounded for at least a year
Don't slaughter all the human race
