Stephin Merritt - Scream and Run Away (from “The Bad Beginning”) lyrics

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 whole 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, die Run, run, run, run, run, run, run Or 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 acting troupe 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 Or die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die Run, run, run, run, run, run, run Or die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
