It's beginning to look a lot like fish-men
Everywhere I go;
From the minute I got to town
And started to look around
I thought these ill-bred people's gillslits showed.
I'm beginning to hear a lot of fish-men
Right outside my door,
As I try to escape in fright
To the moonlit Innsmouth night
I can hear some more.

They speak with guttural croaks and to hear them provokes
A profound desire to flee
Their eyes never blink and quite frankly they stink
Like a carcass washed up from the sea.

I wish I'd paid attention to that crazy drunken man.
He tried to warn me all about old Marsh's Deep One clan.

It's beginning to look a lot like Fish-men
Everywhere I go;
They can dynamite Devil Reef,
but that'll bring no relief,
Y'ha N'thlei is deeper than they know.
I'll continue to see a lot of fish-men
That I guarantee.
For the fish-man I really fear
is the one who's in the mirror
And he looks like me.
He looks just like me.

SHRINE OF KUO TOA
(with sincere apologies to The Eagles)

In a dark cavern temple, near where the drow lair
Cold stink of the fishmen, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a flickering light
My shield grew heavy and my sword was drawn
I had to prep for the fight

There they stood in the doorway
I heard the temple bell
And I was thinking to myself,
' I'm gonna send these fish freaks straight to hell
Then they lit up a huge torch, tried to scare me away
They were croaking down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to Shrine of Kuo toa
Such an awful place
wonder how you'd taste?
Plenty of loot at the Shrine of Kuo toa
Any type of gear, you can find it here

Thier minds are tortured and twisted driving them all to bad ends
They got a goddess they call Blipdoolpoolp and she's got friends
How they kill on the altar....sweet blood to let
Some kill to remember, some kill to forget

So I called up the chieftain
’please release my guys
He said, ’we haven’t had any captives here since CY 609
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Slit your throat in the middle of the night
I can hear them say...

Welcome to Shrine of Kuo toa
Such an awful place
wonder how you'd taste?

They livin’ it up at the Shrine of Kuo toa
What a harsh surprise, bring your lucky die

Piercers on the ceiling,
The yellow mold so nice
And they said ’we are all just worshippers here, of our own device’
And in the chief whip's chambers,
They melee'd as they wished
They slash it with their vorpal blades
But they just can’t kill the fish

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’Ho-there’ said the fish man,
We are hatched here to believe
You can worship any time you like
But you can never leave!
 



Again, with the caveat that a lot of this is--justly--getting posted various places, I will just go ahead and put up a few more.
