Scream and Run Away - The Bad Beginning
The count has an eye on his ankle,
and lives in a horrible place
He wants all your money,
he's never at all funny,
he wants to remove your face.
And you might be thinking "What a romp this is,"
but wait 'til you meet his accomplices.
When you see Count Olaf
you're suddenly full of disgust and despair and dismay.
In the hole of the soul of Count Olaf there's no love,
when you see Count Olaf, count to zero,
then scream and run away,
scream, scream, scream, and run away
run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
or die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
or die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die.
Two women with powdered white faces,
and one long-nosed bald man with warts.
Things worsen and worsen,
there's a hook-handed person,
and others with nastier parts.
This evil and unpleasant crew
completes Count Olaf's acting troupe.
The goal of Count Olaf is getting control of
the fortune of urchins and orphans alike,
I mean horrors, Count Olaf is no laughing matter,
when you see Count Olaf, count to zero,
then scream and run away,
scream, scream, scream and run away,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
or die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die,
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run,
or die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
In the Reptile Room
In the reptile room
Where the baby screams,
Weirder creatures loom,
Than in all of your dreams.
In the reptile room,
Hither and thither,
Creatures from cartoons,
Slither any-whither.
In the reptile room,
Anacondas dance,
Will they be our doom,
Will we be their bon-bons
And you wanna know, wanna know, wanna know why I frown,
Well I'm smiling, I'm just smiling upside down.
In the reptile room,
There’s an evil man,
In a strange costume,
Do not ride in his van.
In the reptile room,
Are pythons at play?
In the murky gloom,
What a horrible day…
The World is a Very Scary Place - The Wide Window
The world is a very scary place, my dear.
It's hurled and it's twirled through outer space I fear.
So many ways to lose your skin in it.
The number of ways to die is infinite.
The world is a very scary thing, I find.
It curled all my toes and it’s curling my mind.
When I was young my study was candies,
but they attract tarantulas and bees.
Some people act as if there were nothing wrong,
due to the fact they haven't heard this song.
The world is a very scary place to go.
It's whirled and it’s swirled with death-like pace you know.
You may have found my views unorthodox,
but now the wolf is at the door, it knocks…
Dreary, Dreary
Gone, gone the girl in brocade,
Gone the words we might have said.
Howl winds because she is dead,
and gone, gone, gone.
Were teary, teary eyes once bright,
weary sighs the tune.
Dreary, dreary for all the night,
and eerie light of the moon.
Gone, gone my Beatrice.
Gone the lips I longed to kiss,
into a black and bleak abyss,
Gone, gone, gone.
Were teary, teary eyes once bright,
weary sighs the tune.
Dreary, dreary for all the night,
and eerie light of the moon.
Were teary, teary eyes once bright,
weary sighs the tune.
Dreary, dreary for all the night,
and eerie light of the moon…
When you play the Violin - The Austere Academy
I have known little civility, sir,
few have been kind, fewer truthful.
And though within my ability, sir,
I remain dutifully youthful.
I go gray, then bald, with chagrin,
when you play the violin.
How I pray for death to begin,
when you play the violin.
True, there’s been trouble and trickery, sir,
trembling and tribulations.
Twitches from switches of hickory sir,
you sir and your usurpation.
But my patience wears very thin,
when you play the violin.
How I stay I can’t imagine,
when you play the violin.
I’ve endured struggling and thuggery, sir,
Physical Ed and psychosis.
Sculleries, skulls, and skullduggeries, sir,
Haplessness, hype and hypnosis.
But oy vay! the horrible din,
when you play the violin.
You betray an ear made of tin,
when you play, when you slay the violin…
This Abyss - The Erstaz Elevator
This abyss, this lightless void.
This abyss, of world destroyed.
Even in the darkest forest,
fireflies are flickering.
But not in this, abyss.
This abyss, of black increased,
This abyss, without surcease.
Even in the deepest ocean,
there’ a little moonlight.
This abyss, of night unbound.
This abyss, without a sound.
Even in your bedroom shadow,
there is something moving
Crows
It gets dark around here early,
because of all the crows.
What they want and where they came from,
no one really knows.
Crows are sour and surly,
with reason I suppose.
There are crows, crows, crows in the trees,
saying crows things, doing as they please.
There are crows, crows, crows everywhere,
but when I think of you dear I don’t care.
There are crows, crows, crows in the trees,
saying crows things, doing as they please.
There are crows, crows, crows everywhere,
but when I think of you dear, I don’t care.
It gets light around slowly,
because of how it goes.
Everyday we hear the same dumb list of those crows woes.
Thinking they’re so holy while leaving mementos.
There are crows, crows, crows in the trees,
saying crow things, doing as they please.
There are crows, crows, crows everywhere,
but when I think of you dear I don’t care.
I don’t care because I know you love me,
unlike all crows lurking above me…
Smile - The Hostile Hospital
Smile,
no one cares how you feel.
Be vicious, vain and vile.
Everything’s yours to steal if you’ll just smile.
Smile,
Have you no dignity?
Have you no sense of style?
You’ll never be pretty until you smile.
Smile,
no one cares how you feel.
There’s a world to beguile.
You can make this world kneel if you’ll just smile…
Freakshow... coming Soon
Slow Down - The Slippery Slope
Chorus:
How do you slow this thing down?
How do you make this thing slow down?
We tried to brake,
By saying "Must be some mistake."
Problem unsolved,
We said "Don't make me get involved."
Chorus
We tried to slow,
It down by shrieking "No No NO!"
We tried to halt,
By whimpering "It's not my fault."
Chorus
It's not fair.
We've tried all kinds of prayer.
We've tried science,
It sped up in defience.
Chorus
A Million Mushrooms - The Grim Grotto
A million mushrooms fill the field
Where marchers' bodies lately fell
For marchers marching, heavy heeled
Release more spores to march as well.
Across the twilit shadow ground
And over long bewildered farms
Through palaces, where not a sound
Is heard though there should be alarms.
But winter comes and only ice
Is crushed beneath the marching feet
In all the land where once was right(? possibly rice)
There now is nothing fit to eat...
(dramatic pause)
Except mushrooms! which nourish not,
The body, nourish not the mind
And often poison. Eating rot
The marchers march insane and blind.
Things Are Not What They Appear - The Penultimate Peril
Things are not what they appear
Starting with a mother's love
When a helping hand comes near,
It becomes an empty glove.
Things are not what they appear
Starting with your hopes and dreams.
Justone thing in life is clear:
Nothing's ever what it seems.
Even babies lie
Even babies lie
And the stars don't cry...
Nothing's ever what it seems
People lie from ear to ear
Just to help their little teams
Which are not what they appear.
We are wrong to begin with
Even if we are sincere
Truth is just a useful myth
Things are not what they appear
Even babies steal
Even babies steal
And the stars don't squeal...
(Long musical interlude, playing melody)
Lie, lie, lie, lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Even babies lie
Even babies lie
And the stars don't cry...
Even babies kill
Even babies kill
And the stars are.... still.
Shipwrecked...
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
than be cast away on an island with you
No, I can't think of anything more heavenly
than to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me
Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
than be cast away on an island with you
Far from distractions and matters of state,
we can quite smoking and quickly lose weight,
sleeping till noon and then staying up late,
at latitude zero and longitude eight
I am a gentleman: should you get hurt,
I'll make a tourniquet out of my shirt
you needn't do much, just sit there and flirt,
and if it looks drizzly, I'll build us a yurt
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
and that's why I decapitated the crew
So I lopped off their heads and dropped them in the sea
Just to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me
Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
and thats why I decapitated the crew
How could I know there's no island nearby?
if I don't eat something soon, I'll just die
I wouldn't eat you, oh, never, not I
So lets catch us a shark and I'll make us a pie
What shal I use for bait? Lend me a hand
I'll sew it back on when we get to land
But if the shark takes it that would be grand
(because we won't starve to death you understand)
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
to end up shipwecked on an island with you
No, there's nobody I wouldn't kill-nobody-
just to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me
Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
to end up shipwecked on an island with you
again.
