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 HalloweenThis 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
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of HalloweenI am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hairThis is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, HalloweenIn this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surpriseRound that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll scream
This is Halloween, red 'n' black, slimy green
Aren't you scared? Well, that's just fineSay it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of HalloweenI am the clown 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 frightThis is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, HalloweenTender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of HalloweenIn this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surpriseSkeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
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, nowThis is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, HalloweenIn this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin kingLa, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, whoo
