Cthulhu Fthagn --
What a wonderful phrase!

Cthulhu Fthagn --
Say it and you're crazed!

It means "Cthulhu,
Rising out of the haze!"

It's a prophecy,
We'll all soon see
Cthulhu Fthagn.

Ahhh, yes!  Cthulhu Fthagn.  It's our motto, our slogan, our credo!

Oh, I hate that!

What?

Han Solo clearly shot first!

Not "Greedo", "credo"!

When he was a Outer God --
When I was a Outer God!
Easy on the reverb, sport.

He found that his form lacked a certain appeal,
All his glistening pseudopods made blood congeal.

I'm a sensitive soul!  At the end of the day,
It hurt that my friends' flesh all melted away.

Oh the shame!
What a disgrace!
Till I decided to blame
The whole human race!
The terrible shame!
Falling from grace!
Whose fault is it?
Yeah!  What the heck where they doing
hanging around with an acidic mass of
flesh-devouring polyps, anyway?

Hey!  Can I help it if I'm an "ick" magnet?

Cthulhu Fthagn!
Now we're in for strange days!
It screws up your noggin --
Turns planets into buffets!

And Great Cthulhu
Spares whoever obeys!
So get off of me,
You monstrosity!
Cthulhu Fthagn!

Cthulhu Fthagn!
Cthulhu Fthagn!
Cthulhu Fthagn!

-- if we keep doing this, he's gonna show up.
... Kewl!

It means "Cthulhu,
Rising out of the haze!"

It's insanity,
For humanity --
Cthulhu Fthagn!

I say Cthulhu!
And I say Fthagn!
If I said Ithaqua,
We'd need a toboggan!

Cthulhu Fthagn!
