== Lyrics ==
     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
     
     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 neighbor's gonna die of fright
     It's our town, everybody scream
     In this town of Halloween
     
     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
     
     This is Halloween, this is Halloween
     Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
     In 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 surprise
     Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
     Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
     Scream! This is Halloween
     Red and black, slimy green
     Aren't you scared?
     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
     
     Everybody scream, everybody scream
     In our town of Halloween!
     
     I 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 fright
     
     This is Halloween, this is Halloween
     Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
     Halloween! Halloween!
     
     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
     
     In this town
     Don't we love it now?
     
     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
     Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy
     Our man Jack is King of the pumpkin patch
     Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King
     
     This is Halloween, this is Halloween
     Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
     
     In this town we call home
     Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
     
     La la la la-la
     La la la la-la
     La la la la-la
     La la la
