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 rot 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,
Or 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 die die.
Two women with powdered white faces
And one long-nosed bald man with warts
Things worsen and worsen
As 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 alike
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,
Run run run run run run run,
Or die, die die die die die die die die die die.
This song is by Stephin Merritt

Oh, how this song does so grimly capture the true nature of the Count!

I can't say I've ever heard it before, it does seem rather good though. (Little Snicket Lad is still my favorite)

I've never heard it before. It looks like it would be a great song though.

Leini Has anyone sung the snicket lad song? And if so where can I hear it? Do you know the actual poem? (it's in the beginning of the autobiography, if not the whole thing is in one of the guild banners. ) Just sing it to the tune of row, row, row, your boat and that's all there is to it. 3nodding

On a charming little cattle farm
Near a pretty deadly lake
Was a very pregnant woman
And her husband known as Jake
Though they lived in a big mansion
Down Robber Road a tad
'Twas on the farm the lady bore
The little Snicket lad
Then they took him
Yea, they took him
They took him far away
They took him in the dead of night
Beneath a moon of gray
They took him from the kitchen
Like you'd take a midnight snack
The VFD they took him
And they never brought him back
He was lively and intelligent
And drank a lot of milk
His crib was made of silver
And his diapers sewn from silk
Both his siblings watched him
And his mother and his dad
But someone else was watching
O'er the little Snicket lad
Then they took him
Yea, they took him
They took him far away
They took him in the dead of night
Beneath a moon of gray
They took him from the kitchen
Like you'd take a midnight snack
The VFD they took him
And they never brought him back
One evening Jake was chopping wood
And his wife was at the mill
The siblings two were drinking tea
And the house was very still
They came in through the window
Not the door which was the fad
A long black car was parked outside
For the little Snicket lad
Then they took him
Yea, they took him
They took him far away
They took him in the dead of night
Beneath a moon of gray
They took him from the kitchen
Like you'd take a midnight snack
The VFD they took him
And they never brought him back
When we grab you by the ankles
Where our mark is to be made
You'll soon be doing noble work
Although you won't be paid
When we drive away in secret
You'll be a volunteer
So don't scream when we take you
The world is quiet here
