I was lurking on the threshold late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For Father Dagon from his sea began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the dance
He did the Dagon dance
The Dagon dance
It had a non-Euclidean stance
He did the dance
It caught on by chance
He did the dance
He did the Dagon dance

From Miskatonic University to Kingsport east
To the depths of R'lyeh where Cthulhu sleeps
The cultists all came from their humble homes
To read my Necronomicon tome

They did the dance
They did the Dagon dance
The Dagon dance
It had a non-Euclidean stance
They did the dance
It caught on by chance
They did the dance
They did the Dagon dance

The Deep Ones were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Azathoth
Shub-Niggurath and her young

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Ithaqua on winds, backed by his Tindalos hounds
The hideous pipers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Elder Thing Five"

They played the dance
They played the Dagon dance
The Dagon dance
It had a non-Euclidean stance
They played the dance
It caught on by chance
They played the dance
They played the Dagon dance

Out from his tomb, Cthul's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his tentacle flock
And said, "Whatever happened to my R'lyeh Rock?"

It's now the dance
It's now the Dagon dance
The Dagon dance
And it had a non-Euclidean stance
It's now the dance
It's caught on by chance
It's now the dance
It's now the Dagon dance

Now everything's cool, Cthul's a part of the band
And my Dagon dance is the hit of the land
For you, the mortal, this dance was meant too
When you get to my gate, tell them Yog-Sothoth sent you

Then you can dance
Then you can Dagon dance
The Dagon dance
And do my non-Euclidean stance
Then you can dance
You'll catch on by chance
Then you can dance
Then you can Dagon dance

So a good friend of mine from back in the day and I wrote this around the holidays in our first year of Highschool.
Every Halloween and Christmas it pops into my head, and when I read it again it still gives me the giggles.

Sure wish somebody would turn it into a real solstice charol!


extreme credit to [link] for most of the everything. Man is brilliant!

All I need is a tune to go by, and I'll be crowing this all week! :D Which melody did you use to base this on?

OH MY GOD you're actually making this thing a reality!?
Awesome! Thanks so much!
I actually don't know anything about music, so I can't really suggest a tune, and I don't know what the melody was...
... so go with what feels best...? <:B

I figure the original monster mash's stuff would work..

The lyrics are fun, all they need is a nice melody. :)

What do you mean "most of the everything"?! That's entirely my work except for the fact that you changed one letter of one word to make it a different word!

I came up with the tindalos hounds and the elder thing five, if I remember.
And I think I was the one who said we should change 'spawn' to 'young' in the case of Shub for rhyming sake.

I usually think there are a bit too many Lovecraft references these days...

But this is perfect
