Out of every orifice

And into every creed

There crawled a rotten maggot

Who wanted us to bleed.

In every darkened crevice

Of every moonlit night

There slept an evil monster

Decaying in its plight.

In everybody's bedroom

Underneath everyone's stairs

There waited unhatched larvae

In tiny, pungent lairs.

In every ancient gateway

Of all historic towns

There lay a large black creature

Just waiting to be roused.

On everybody's person

In everybody's brain

There sleeps a secret so dark

It has to rise again.
