The song the Esoteric Order of Dagon couldn't ban! This uptempo honky tonk number tells the story of a fella who went and lost his gal to Dagon.

lyrics

Doggone It, Dagon, you made my gal all fishy
Doggone it, Dagon, her skin’s all green and squishy
We went to Innsmouth, yesirree
Saw that infernal jamboree
Doggone it, Dagon, give my gal back to me

Doggone It, Dagon, with just one glance you caught her
Doggone it, Dagon, now she lives underwater
When you gave her that tiara
I knew she’d tell me sayonara
Doggone it, Dagon, give my gal back to me

Doggone it
Thought we were out of reach
Doggone it
When we went to Party Beach
Doggone it
Saw you swimmin’ toward her
Doggone it
You were well out of order
You’re the froggy who went a-courtin’ and now it’s plain to see
There’s a big fish in this pond and it ain’t me

Doggone it
Took her to the Black Lagoon
Doggone it
You appeared real soon
Doggone it
She bought it hook, line and sinker
Doggone it
Man, you are such a stinker
You moved in like a barracuda promising some thrills
Now as for me, she’s fed up to the gills


Doggone it
She came on feverish
Doggone it
Talked a lot of gibberish
Doggone it
Scales started showin’
Doggone it
Saw a little tail a-growin’
I guess you proved the best man ain’t the one who always wins
You swept her off her feet and gave her fins

Doggone It, Dagon, I know I’ll never land her
Doggone it, Dagon, you sneaky salamander
There may be more fish in the sea
But you done stole my bride to be
Doggone it, Dagon, give my gal back to me
