Dani (starts singing after opening the window): Callin' all the monsters

Callin' all the monsters

Callin' all the, callin' all the

Callin' all the monsters (hops on her broom)

Oh yea aye, oh yea aye, oh yea aye (hops off)

Callin' all the monsters, callin' all the monsters (hops on broomstick)

Callin' all the, callin' all the, callin' all the monsters

You hide or you try

Kiss tomorrow goodbye! (blows scary kisses)

We thrill to your chill

B-B-B-Buckin' for a freak-out! (summons zombies)

We're wantin' to

We're hauntin' you

We're wantin' to

Eh eh

We might just bite underneath the moonlight (uses her hands to create a shadow bite)

More fun if you run! (chasing after the monsters)

Gonna paint it red, get inside your head, head, head (summons paint and paint some of the houses to red)

Like a demon choir playing with fire, fire, fire (summons fire to make a shape of a spooky heart and demons to dance around it)

Gonna get your body shakin'

Wishin' you could just awaken

Tonight all the monsters gonna dance

We're comin' to get ya!

Tonight all the monsters gonna dance (she and all the monsters continue dancing while making a huge dance floor that can levitate)

Oh yea aye, oh yea aye, oh yea aye
