Gothic Archies – Scream And Run Away lyrics

Album: The Tragic Treasury: Songs from A Series of Unfortunate Events

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 till you meet his accomplices.
When you see Count Olaf,
You're suddenly full of disgust and despair and dismay.
In the hole in 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...

Two women with powdered white faces,
And one long nose 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, hurray. 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...
