Old mother Hubbard
Old mother Hubbard,
Went to the cupboard,
To get her poor Shoggoth a bone.
When she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
So the Shoggoth devoured her whole.

Ring a Ring of cultists 'A ring, a ring of roses'
Ring a Ring of Cultists,
The pentagram convulses,
Ichor! Ichor!
They all start to drown.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Aldebaran 'Twinkle, Twinkle, little
star'
Twinkle, Twinkle, Aldebaran,
Home of Haster, chant your psalm.
To us the world is quite inane,
The yellow sign - driven us insane.
Twinkle, Twinkle, Aldebaran,
We're freeing Haster - unspeakable harm.

Rev. Peters 'Mary had a little lamb'
Rev. Peters had a little spade,
It was used to dig a hole.
In a graveyard, at the dead of night,
Sanity loss has it's toll.

The black goat 'Baa, Baa, Black sheep'
Iä, Iä, Black goat,
Have you any young?
Chanting, Chanting,
Thousands yet to come.
All for Cthulhu,
Sleeping 'neath the waves.
Worship Shub Nigurath unto our graves.
-Tim Cooke and Tim Massingham
Shub Nigurath - 'Black goat with a thousand young' (for you Lovecraft
Philistines)

I'm the king of the star spawn 'I'm the king of the
monkeys' - Disney's Jungle book
I'm the king of star-spawn,
and R'lyeh is where I sleep.
I've a cult at the top,
Insanity don't stop,
Confinement doesn't stop me.
I wanna warp minds,
Yeah, man minds.
My dreaming reaches wide,
perverting thoughts in slumbering brains,
there ain't no place to hide.
O, ube-do,
I wanna rule over you-ou-ou,
I wanna enslave you,
you go insane to,
oo-oo-oo.
You see its true-ue-ue,
a blaspheme like me-ee-ee,
can crush your mind,
in my cult you'll find,
home to-oo-oo.

Common Cultists 'Common People' - Pulp
She came from Brent,
she loved dangerous knowledge.
Read blasphemous works at Arkham college
And then a spell caught her eye.
She told me she'd summoned a horror,
A mound of goo which lurched right for her.
It had slime,
then in thirty seconds time,
she said:
Well what else could I do,
I wanna summon blasphemous horrors,
I wanna do what ever common cultists do.
Want to chant like common cultists,
Want to sacrifice normal people like you,
The deep ones 'Flintstone's theme tune'
Deep ones, meet the deep ones,
they're a modern, pre-cambrian family.
Come on, down to R'lyeh,
there are things that are blasphemies.
Some day, maybe Cthulhu will win the fight,
and then, the night stars will be right.
When you're with the Deep ones,
Have a slimy, ichor-goo time,
A slimy, ichor-goo time,
When the stars are right

Antennae face 'Chantilly Lace'-Big Bopper
Antennae face
and a carapace.
Bony tail
hanging down.
A slither in the walk
and a gibber in the talk
make my SAN go down down down.
There ain't nothin' in the world
like a bug-eyed girl
to make me act so funny,
make me kill my buddies,
send me to my doom
in a rubber room,
AIEEEEE!
oh, baby, that's what I like!
by John S. Adair and Holly E. Taylor
