Lyrics:
Look at this stuff
Won't it help out?
Wouldn't you think there's nothing I'm without?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at my cards
Items and skills
How many monsters have I gone and killed?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got allies and weapons aplenty
I've got spells and my health is at full
You want clue tokens?
I've got twenty!
But who cares?
That is not
The game's goal
I wanna be where the monsters are
I wanna see, see a new encounter
Getting drawn through that big - what do you call it?
Oh - gate!
Doom going up, it looks grim so far
We need to do some more gate encounters
Closing them all and then - what's the win condition?
Wait
We need to seal, use elder signs
We need to block them and we'll be fine
Go through that door
Time to explore
The Other World
What will I do if I go through and go unconscious?
What will I pay if I am made to go insane?
It's a big cost if I get lost
So I should make sure I am cautious
Keep my hearts up, time to start up
Ready for fame
And ready to roll what I need to roll
Set up my skills and adjust with focus
Gather my tokens and then I will - finally
Seal
It's so surreal
Won't it be great, great to explore that world past the gate?
Ready for more
Time to explore
The Other World

About Arkham Horror, from BoardGameGeek:
The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It's a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the war to end all wars.
Yet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between worlds. These gates have begun to open and must be closed before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined domination.
Only a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they Prevail?
Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game themed around H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Players choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient Ones is chosen and it's up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. During the course of the game, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons, and spells. It's up to the players to clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of monsters, but their main goal is to close gates to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With too many gates open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world - defeat the Ancient One in combat!
