Crowley

by Frater In Profunda


I met him on the beach down at Cefalu,
Where he sunbathed all the time
while he dictated his whole life's story.
Very drolly, stor, stor, stor, stor, story.
I saw this bald guy sitting there on a rock,
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said, 'Crowley.'
Just like 'Holy', Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.

Well, I've been around but I ain't never seen
A guy who says he's a Magus and then writes sonnets obscene.
Oh my Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
How he can make me a camel just by raising his hand.
Oh my Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.
Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.

Well, I left home just a week before,
And I've never ever been a Templar before,
But Cap'n Fuller sent me straight to Al,
He said, 'Go to Crowley and he'll give you the Law!'
Well, I'm not the kind that would argue with John,
So I packed my bags for the Mediterranean.
To see Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.
Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley,
Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.
Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.

So I signed the Pledge.
I sat in Asana,
Assumed the God-form,
While I did Liber Resh.
Well, I won't forget what Crowley said:
He said, 'Vic, stay away from the Left-Hand Path,
And if you shut yourself up, then Our Lady will laugh.'
Oh my Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.
'I know my Qabalah's really got you perplexed,
But remember things must add up or you'll really be vexed!'
Oh my Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.

Well, I heard Mussollini got in a snit,
So we're headed off for Tunisia, I guess.
But I know that I'll be with Crowley for years,
I'll be paying his way through this veil of tears.
? The long-term Pledge-form I had to sign
Says I'll be buying his books 'til the end of time,
Books by Crowley, Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.
Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro, Crowley.
