Inspired by this drawing by the inimitable Lar DeSouza.

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

You’ve been sound asleep

In R’lyeh sunken deep

But now tonight

The stars are right,

And you’ve got souls to reap

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

What you gonna tell Shub-Niggurath?

What’ll you tell Yog-Sothoth?

What’ll you tell Nug and Yeb when they say

“Fthagn Ia”?

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

It was foretold in the Necronomicon

That you’d arise with your servitors and spawn

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

The Earth must be cleansed.

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

The Stars are right, like I said,

Humanity’s s’posed to be dead

But you horrific, squamous mass,

You won't get out of your bed.

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

What you gonna tell Ithaqua,

Dagon and Nyarlothotep?

It's preordained, so don't complain

How far you have to schlep

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

Wake up, dread Cthulhu

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

Wake up, dread Cthulhu, wake up

Music: "Wake Up Little Susie" by Boudleaux Bryant & Felice Bryant

Bwah! I realized what the source song was almost immediately. (I don't see a link to the drawing by Lar though?)

-- I forgot to put it in. Fixed.

Wild Card

I didn't have to ask which song this was to the tune of, I got it on the first line (actually the title)
