[Shadow]
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
[Pumpkins]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
[Ghosts]
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 Halloween
[Creature Under The Bed]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
[Man Under The Stairs]
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
[Corpse]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
[Vampires]
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
[Mayor]
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
[Corpse]
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll
[Harlequin Demon, Werewolf & Melting Man]
Scream!
This is halloween
Red 'n' black and slimy green
[Werewolf]
Aren't you scared?
[Witches]
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the Moon in the dead of night
[Hanging Tree]
Everybody scream, everbody scream
[Hanged Men]
In our town of Halloween
[Clown]
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
[Ghoul]
I am the who when you call: Who's there?
I am the wind blowing through your hair
[Oogie Boogie Shadow]
I am the shadow on the Moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
[Corpse]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
[Child Corpse Trio]
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
[Parent Corpses]
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
[Corpses]
In this town
[Mayor]
Don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise
[Corpses]
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
[Hanging Tree & Hanged Men]
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
[Corpses]
Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin Patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now
[Everyone]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
[Corpse Child Trio]
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
[Everyone]
La, la, la, (Halloween, Halloween)
La-la-la, la, la (Halloween, Halloween)
La-la-la, la, la, (Halloween, Halloween)
La-la-la, la-la-la, hey
