THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF A DUCK IN INNSMOUTH
(bom bom bom ba-dom ba-dom)
A duck walked in to an old book store,
And he said to the man running the store
“Hey,” (bom bom bom) “got any grapes?”
The man said “no we just sell books.
I'm sure you'll find something, if you just take a look.
Like to see what's on show?” The duck said “Hmm, no”.
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle) Till the very next day.
(bom bom bom bom bom-pa-dom)
When the duck walked in to the old book store
And he said to the man running the store
“Hey,” (bom bom bom) “got any grapes?”
The man said “no, like I said yesterday, we just sell old books, okay?
Why not give one a try?” The duck said “Goodbye”.
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle) Till the very next day.
(bom bom bom bom bom-pa-dom)
When the duck walked in to the old book store
And he said to the man running the store
“Hey,” (bom bom bom) “got any grapes?”
The man said “look, this is getting old. Books are all we’ve ever sold.
Could I offer you one?” The duck said “I'll take... none.”
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle) Till the very next day.
(bom bom bom bom bom-pa-dom)
When the duck walked in to the old book store
And he said to the man running the store
“Hey,” (bom bom bom) “got any grapes?”
The man said “THAT’S IT! If you don’t stay away, duck,
I’ll glue you to the wall and leave you there all day, stuck.
So don’t get too close!” The duck said “Adios!”
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle) Till the very next day.
(bom bom bom bom bom-pa-dom)
When the duck walked in to the old book store
And he said to the man running the store
“Hey,” (bom bom bom) “got any... glue?”
“What?”
“Got any glue?”
“No, why would I- Oh...”
“Then one more question for you:
HAVE YOU SEEN THE YELLOW SIGN?”
And the man just stopped. Then he started to smile.
Then he started to laugh. He laughed for a while.
Then he said; “I have passed through the final door of the Night Floor, crossed the lake of Hali when the twin moons shone darkly and I have sipped dream wine at the Court of the King In Yellow. I have danced with the Queen of Ochre Veils and duelled with the Raggedy Knave. You hold no fear for me, messenger of Hastur.”
(bom bom bom bom bom-pa-dom)
The duck said “It will begin when you hear a child's cries, though you will see nothing but mist. I shall emerge from your dreams accompanied by four blind handmaidens dressed in silken rags, and when you open your mouth to scream only dust will spill out. The skirling pipes will begin to play and we shall dance, you and I, we shall dance under the light of no moons, until the fourth peal of the great bell. Then you shall kneel and sing the song that sours milk and makes wives into witches, in honour of your lord and master, my brother. Hastur loves you still.”
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle waddle)
Then he waddled away. (waddle waddle)
