Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
In the whole 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
[Verse 4]
Run, run, run, run, run, run
Or die, die, die, die, die, die, die
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Or die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
[Verse 5]
Two women with powdered white faces
And one long-nosed bald man with warts
Things worsen and worsen
With the hook-handed person
And others with nastier parts
[Verse 6]
This evil and unpleasant group
Complete Count Olaf's acting troupe
The goal of Count Olaf is getting control of
The fortunes of urchins and orphans, hooray
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
[Verse 7]
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, die, die
