about

Enjoy a horrifying story of the old man from a Russian fairy tale signing a pact with H. P. Lovecraft's Deep Ones of Y-ha'nthlei.

lyrics

A fisher chanced to get
A goldfish in dragnet,
But, sparing fishy life,
He went home to his wife.

Stupid! Foolish!
Go and beat the fish up!
Foolish! Stupid!
Bring at least a washtub!
Stupid! Foolish!
Bring me more and better!
Foolish! Stupid!
Bring me crown and sceptre!

The golden talking fish
Fulfilled the woman's wish,
Oh, she omitted then
The changes in her man.

When your man's speaking
To a fishie,
When he is bringing
Things you're wishing,
When you are lounging,
Warm and cosy,
His eyes are bulgy,
Never closing.

Oh, the sea's grim and dark,
Oh, the dogs yelp and bark,
Oh, the black tides unleash,
Those, who's both man and fish.

Honey! Darling!
Go put with the fish up!
Darling! Honey!
I'll be fine with washtub!
Honey! Darling!
Will they really keep us?
Darling! Honey!
Why'd you call them Deep Ones?

The story comes to end,
They both have left the land,
Forever shall they stay
In deep Y'ha-nthlei!

When your man's speaking
To a fishie,
When he is bringing
Things you're wishing,
When you are lounging,
Warm and cosy,
His eyes are bulgy,
Never closing.
