about

This song is inspired by Agatha Crane, one of the possible investigators you can play in the second edition board game called Mansions of Madness. It's a great cooperative game not unlike Zombicide in which you play investigators trying stop an Eldritch Horror from happening. It's tough to save the world from Cthulhu, and we have failed many times. You download an app with the game that takes on the role of the referee/game master. We adore this game published by Fantasy Flight Games, and have now bought all the expansions for it. They need to make more! Alas, they don't seem to be supporting it anymore. *Picture me making a sad face.*

(Yes, I quote a bit of "My Bonnie lies one the ocean" at the end of choruses.)

lyrics

Agatha Crane
Copyright 2017 by Mary Crowell

Am
Agatha Crane is going insane
Am E7
As she wanders a mansion of madness.
E7
The kitchen walls bleed, and all the halls lead
E7 Am
To a dimension of horror and sadness.

Am
She sometimes gets scared as she wanders the lair
Am E7
Of an eccentric who's living in Innsmouth.
E7
As a mob outside swarms, our lady informs
E7 Am
"We'll need daggers to chop off their fins with."

Chorus:
Dm Am
Agatha is brave and wise until she hears the Eldritch cries
E7 Am
Of cultists. How the Dagon priest chants of deep ones now released!
Dm Am
Or Shoggoth wanders from the sea and warbles Tekelili-li.
A7 D7 B7 E7 A Am
Oh bring back, bring back, bring back Cthulhu to me to me
Dm E7 Am
Oh pour Miss Crane a pot of tea.

[Improv section representing madness]


Am
The butler on staff gives a terrified laugh
Am E7
Before blithely removing his eyeballs.
E7
Singing begins, making worldly veils thin.
E7 Am
No fences will save them or high walls.

Chorus:

Reprise first verse

Am
Agatha Crane is wracking her brain
Am E7
To turn all her horror to clues.
E7
She'll play it by ear and conquer her fear
E7 Am
And pray that her mind will not unglue.

A7 D7 E7 A Am
Oh bring back, bring back, bring back Cthulhu to me to me
Dm E7
Oh pour Miss Crane a pot of
Dm E7
Oh pour Miss Crane a pot of
Dm E7 Am
Oh pour Miss Crane a pot of tea.
