Speaking of Lemony Snicket

"Scream and Run Away," by Stephin Merritt

o/`
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-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
complete Count Olaf's accoutre [1]
The goal of Count Olaf
is getting control of
the fortunes of urchins and orphans, hooray--

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-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!
