## Lyrics

**Shadows (Ghost / Werewolf)**: Boys and girls of every age

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

**Siamese Shadow**: Come with us and you will see

This, our town of Halloween

**Ghosts**: 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

It's our town, everybody scream

In this town of Halloween

**Monster Under the Bed**: I am the one hiding under your bed

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

**Monster Under the Stairs**: 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!

**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

**Chorus**: Round that cornerman 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, everybody scream!

**Hanging Skeletons**: In our town of Halloween...

**Clown**: I am the clown with the tear-away face

*(deeper voice)* Here in a flash and gone without a trace

**Voice**: 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!

**Chorus**: This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

**Corpse Child, Winged Demon**: 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

**Mayor:**

In this town, don't we love it now?

Everyone's waiting for the next surprise!

**Chorus**: Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee, make you jump out of your skin

This is Halloween, everyone scream

Won't ya please make way for a very special guy?

Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch

Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

**Corpse Child & Mummy**: In this town, we call home

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

**Citizens**: La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Halloween, Halloween! [Repeat two more times]

**Undersea Gal**: La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

**Citizens**: Whee!
