Naw! Innsmouth is a nice town! Sure, it is!
Though I'm not native - didn't grow up here -
Still, I can swear those rumors are untrue;
There's nothin' that outsiders need to fear.
Oh, sure, some mighty scary looking gents
Stop by to spend the day or night with us.
And, yes, some harmless guests have disappeared;
But there's no need to make an awful fuss.
Just stay inside at night - don't prowl the streets.
Don't talk to folks who have a froggy stare.
Just be polite and mind your business, sir.
Stop by again to visit - if you dare !
