A Miskatonic Christmas

about

This here's a holiday hoot from the heart of Lovecraft country!

lyrics

In the Miskatonic Valley
When the snow begins to fall
And it’s just after Divali
You can hear the shoggoths call

It’s the time for celebrations
When the Arkham choir sings
And we put up decorations
Of an octopus with wings

CHORUS:
It’s a Miskatonic Christmas
And there’s nothing left to fear
Happy Yule to you, Cthulhu
It’s the eldritch time of year

When the villagers start chanting
When the well begins to glow
There is nothing more enchanting
Than an Old One in the snow

All of Dunwich will be ravin’
At the Whateley jubilee
When the tentacles start wavin’
It’s the place for you and me

CHORUS

When you fill a festive flagon
With seasonal mulled wine
Leave it on the porch for Dagon
With a tumbler of brine

When you go to visit granny
Taste her famous chicken broth
You will whisper, “It’s uncanny
How she looks like Yog-Sothoth”

CHORUS

Hear the children sing
Ia ia ia!
Ia Ia ia!
Ia ia ia !

Everybody sing
Ia ia ia!
Ia Ia ia!
Ia ia ia !

When the little ones are sleepin’
On the eve of the big day
If you hear somethin’ a-creepin’
Don’t be frightened, it’s OK

While some welcome their relations
And some celebrate a birth
We embrace abominations
That will one day rule the Earth

CHORUS x4
