Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
[Chorus]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
[Verse 2]
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
[Verse 3]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
[Chorus]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
[Verse 4]
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin Song
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise
[Verse 5]
'Round that corner, man hiding in the trashcan
Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll scream
[Verse 6]
This is Halloween
Red and black and slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine
[Verse 7]
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
[Verse 8]
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween
[Verse 9]
I am the guy with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the who when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
[Chorus]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
[Verse 10]
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
[Verse 11]
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back and
Scream like a banshee, make you jump out of your skin
[Verse 12]
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Won't you please make way for a very special guy?
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now
[Chorus]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
[Verse 13]
In this place we call home
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin Song
