Autumn leaves are at my feet, children laughing in the street
Hear them asking "trick or treat", oh so dear
Jack-o-lanterns all aglow, watching from the patio
oh, you know, 'tis the season for cheer
Balls of popcorn deck the halls, breaking out the 'ole football
Tummies full of cholesterol, oh, sweet delight
Chocolate bars and candy corn, hand me downs of costumes worn
Oh you know, 'tis the season of light
So come and follow me
Every ghoulish girl and boy
Now it's Halloween
'Tis the season for [ Death! ] joy
It's that sacred hallowed eve
A night of party games
A night for us to feast on
Candy apples, and-[Brains!]
[And bloody hearts!
And crackling bones!
Rip you apart
Agonizing groans!]
No…
It's a spooky little festival of fright
For good old-fashioned fun [and mayhem!]
But the special thing is best of all
It's a night for every--, guys, can you let me finish
[Ha ha hee hee ha ha ho ho
Halloween halloween halloween
Ha ha hee hee ha ha ho ho
that unholy night
We'll rip out your guts
To play jumprope
Scoop eyeballs out
To catch and throw
Use your blood
paint the town red
Make you wish
you were dead instead]
Hang garlic from the door
Salt the entrance but be warned
Even if you stay inside
There isn't anywhere to - [hide!]
[Tis the season for fright]

Boo!
I'm on the prowl for a fellow night owl
Looking for somebody repulsive, someone revolting, somebody foul
You wanna rock and roll with us, then there's some things you gotta know because
Oh, it's wicked where we goin', way down six feet below
So can you boogie like a boogie man (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Rattle them bones like a skeleton (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can you growl like a ghoul
Can you howl like a wolf to the moon
Then let the groove creep into your soul (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Possess ya body, make you lose control (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Better show me you can dance, you can boogie like a boogieman
Yeah (Boogie, boogie, like a boogieman)
Yeah (Boogie, boogie, like a boogieman)
Can't get that rhythm out your head? It took a bite and then it spread
Well if you dare to come around, follow that sound to the party beneath your bed
And if you're feeling really toxic, then sneak a peek inside your closet
'Cause it's the hottest spot to bop in, no need to knock, just hop in, let's get rotten
Let's hear it from the band, Rattle McTattle and the bone-chilling beats of the Skeleton Crew!
Now, play those bones!
Boogie, boogie, boogie, like a boogeyman
Boogie, boogie, boogie, like a boogeyman

Ohohoh, I will pick you up
And twirl you round
And take you home
Follow my silver string
Or the minotaur may lick your bones
You're safe with me
Only out there do beasts roam
Here you're
Safe as a honeycomb
Ease up at the feet of my throne
Lie down, sweet
Rest that sleepy dome
Mmmhmmmm
Now you're wrapped around my finger
Won't you stick around?
Silken strands will start to wring your neck
I don't suspect you'll make it out
Told you I'd make you a nice dinner
I keep my word, yes, trust this pout
You should know better
It's forecast
See that red hourglass
Know your time is running out
Oh there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running out
Ohohoh give up the escape
No there's no use
My wriggly little worm
It ain't pronounced "Ariadne"
You must have misheard
My threads will pull ya tighter
The mightier ya squirm
There's no
Need to twist and turn
You'll give yourself ropeburn
And if you burn my supper little bugger
Watch how quickly I can turn
You around until...
You're wrapped around my finger
And you can't get out
Silken strands will start to wring your neck
What'd you expect to come about
Told you I'd make you a nice dinner
I keep my word don't ever doubt
You should know better
You won't last
See that red hourglass
Know your time is running out
Oh there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running out
Hush
Let's not rush this
Hush
No interruptions
You look scrumptious
Gonna savor this
Every taste and all your touches
Hush
Let's not rush this
Hush
You got me blushin'
Hush
You're so scrumptious
It's survival of the fittest and you visited a huntress
Yes, you're wrapped around my finger
And you can't get out
Fangs will sprout and sink into your neck
What'd you expect when ya came around?
Told you I'd make you a nice dinner
I keep my word don't ever doubt
You should know better
You won't last
See that red hourglass
Know your time is running out
Oh there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running
No, there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running out
Sweetheart don't be silly
This will only hurt an itsy bitsy

A scoop of spiders in granola
She prefers the crunch
Mixes up arsenic and cola
and then spikes the punch
I like to bring her gorgonzola
lunchin' at our favorite spot
A picnic in the graveyard
where she bought her future plot
A cup of Joe in the morning
He's been missing since May
Admit he made a lovely neighbor
But his eyes make great puree, Oh
(My girl, my girl, my girl...)
We go out birdwatching
Yeah, it's a real treat
To see her coo to view the owls
Rip apart their feast
She's got a knack for parlour games
Yeah, I'm always beat
A real wiz at Ouiji
Although I know she cheats
No other gal I'll ever know
Can hold a flame to her candelabra
Oh I love her so, my skull and bones
My. Girl. Macabre!
(Sha-boom, boom, boom, boom
With her you are doomed, doomed, doomed
Life is full of gloom, gloom, gloom
See you in the tomb, tomb, tomb, tomb)
I bring an extra sweater for her
Cuz her skin's ice cold
Every month she's a blood donor
When the moon gets full
Pick up our best hors d'oeuvres
Fresh from the road
Racoon with some skid marks
And a dash of tabasco
Take her to parties - she's a real scream
To the carnival - she likes to hear the shrieks
No she can't get enough of
The tunnel of love
Pan for bones in the water
Asbestos rainin' from above
(My girl, my girl, my girl...)
No other gal I'll ever know
Can hold a flame to her candelabra
She's like a living poem by Edgar Allen Poe
Oh, My. Girl. Macabre!
(Sha-boom, boom, boom, boom
With her you are doomed, doomed, doomed
Life is full of gloom, gloom, gloom
See you in the tomb, tomb, tomb, tomb)
She really gets me goin'
Like a bolt straight to my system
Could jolt me up from even if I were frozen
In a drawer at the mortician's
(Oo she's grim and she's gruesome
And she's gory and morbid
Uh huh she's ghastly and grotesque
She's sickening and horrid
Mhmmm appalling, o so shocking
She's fearsome and she's freaky
That girl, that girl, is one cute creepy!)
Life was was sunny and lovely, sweeter than honey
Before she crawled into my world
So much sugar was crummy, Ain't I so lucky
That I found my macabre girl
No, no other gal I'll ever know
Can hold a flame to her candelabra
She's my twisted soulmate, I'm her morbid beau
O! My girl Macabre
Imma ask for her hand
Real soon
Take her to the black lagoon
For our honeymoon
There's only one thing I want for my future
That's waking up in the coffin next to her
(Oo she's grim and she's gruesome
And she's gory and morbid
Uh huh she's ghastly and grotesque
She's sickening and horrid
Mhmmm appalling, o so shocking
She's fearsome and she's freaky
That girl, My girl, is one cute creepy!)

You untangled me from the weeds
Whispered sweet things under autumn leaves
Kept me warm and watered
Like a baby in a cot
Oh I was pleased to be
Your happy
Decoration to flaunt
Back then in your arms
Was how I wished to die
Before I found charm
Can be carefully devised
You said, "show me more of that pretty smile"
And I complied
But when my cheeks hurt after a while
I saw you reach for the knife
Go on and
Carve it outta me
I'll burn bright, just for you
Strike a match and light me up
I'll grin the way you want me to
I'm your jack o'lantern
I got them fooled by my disguise
Cut me open but I'll keep on
Smiling while I burn inside
Woah
Scrape out all the edges
Of my skull
Until there's no mess
Until there's nothing left
That you can't control-oh!
I can grin and bear it,
wear the girl that you want like a costume
the Jackie-O-Lantern
of your Camelot
You roam where you please
While I sit here and rot
Still I keep lettin' you-
Carve it outta me
I'll burn bright, just for you
Strike a match and light me up
I'll grin the way you tell me to
I'm your jack o'lantern
I got them fooled by my disguise
Cut me open but ill keep on
Smiling while I burn inside
Woah
Season after season
Said someday I'm gonna leave him
Just waiting for a good enough reason
Feelin' my candlewick tick down, drippin' red
Time to seed the pieces
He cut out and then I'll reap them
Will be so easy to deceive him
Why treat when I can trick instead?
You ask me what happened to my heart
What's the matter, don't you remember?
You carved it outta me
But I'll collect my dues
Strike a match and
Light you up
While grinning like you taught me to
I'm a jack o'lantern
I got you fooled by my disguise
Lucky I'm immune to fire
Watch our windows glow like eyes
Turn this house into your pyre
Smiling while you burn inside
Smiling while you burn
Smiling while you burn
Smiling wide

In the dark of night
When monsters rise
The most frightening of all
Takes to the skies
Flying low and high
With an appetite
To find you
And suck you dry!
He will drink you entire
Make you his appetizer
Bring brimstone and fire
Make you join his empire
You know who it is, he must be a-
vandal, a villain
Out to do his nightly killing
Get his fill, and the blood will be copiously spilling
But his cleanup is immaculate
You'll think it was miraculous
never find him or capture it
Creepier than a tarantula
Send shivers up your scapula
Serve you up with a spatula
You know it's the Count-
Down to the end
Wave goodbye to all your friends
No, there is no way to defend
You're condemned
To descend
You won't see him creep through the night
But when he arrives
Know the end is in sight
When he takes a bite
Oh, mosquito
Incognito
Hit me like a torpedo
O, mosquito
The bloodsucking succubus creature of the night
And he doesn't need permission
To sneak into your kitchen
And give you a kiss
for its own nutrition
which in addition
Will give you an awful itchin'
Until you are wishing
You were dead at the mortician
Anything to calm your horrible condition
Oh, mosquito
Incognito
Hit me like a torpedo
O, mosquito
The bloodsucking succubus creature of the night

Peeking through your fingers, now I see you start to shake
Guess you've heard the legend, let me set the record straight
I don't mean to be dramatic
I just live for wreaking havoc
You can keep your hats and rabbits
This ain't a trick, this is pure talent (How'd she do that?)
I'm a witch, bitch
I'm a witch, bitch
On my witch business
I can grant your wishes
Or put you in stitches
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'm a witch, bitch
On my witch business
I got a suspicion
That you're superstitious
Immolate all your mortal habits
I'mma make you believe in magic
Try and vex me you'll get hexed
With just a wiggle of my nose
Deliver ya what you deserve
Like Kiki with a bow
If you play me I get vicious
Know there's venom in these kisses
Toil and trouble ya got?
I'mma double it up
Twitches
Try and melt me
I'll spell out the ways that you'll regret it
Try and burn me (When you gonna learn?)
Thought you heard me when I said it
I'm a witch, bitch
On my witch business
I can grant your wishes
Or put you in stitches
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'm a witch, bitch
On my witch business
I got a suspicion
That you're superstitious
Immolate all your mortal habits
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'm up all night on that broom
Yeah high as the moon
What you gonna do? (Whatcha gonna do?)
I'm mixing that brew
I'm fixing my crew
I call, they come through (Whatcha gonna do?)
All my sisters, I'mma summon
Turn this club into a coven
Clear the dancefloor, 'cause we landed
Follow our command or get enchanted
All my sisters, I'mma summon
Turn this club into a coven
If you're wicked, baby, we can kick it
Friday thirteenth, this weekend
That's some witch shit (Shhh)
I'm a witch, bitch
On my witch business
I can grant your wishes
Or put you in stitches
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'm a witch, bitch
On my witch business
I got a suspicion
That you're superstitious
Immolate all your mortal habits
I'mma make you believe in magic
I'm up all night on that broom
Yeah, high as the moon
What you gonna do? (Whatcha gonna do?)
I'm mixing that brew
I'm fixing my crew
What you gonna do? (Whatcha gonna do?)
You were right to be suspicious, isn't power so delicious? (Can't help it)
I'm a witch, bitch

My dreams are full of hauntings
I stay awake at night just wanting
You
I met you and the stars aligned
Above a secret only you and I
Knew
But now I bear it all alone
We're miles apart, you're far from home, and
I'm
Howling at the moon
Know you're out there howling too
This wild inside can't be chained up
I'm hungry for your untamed touch
Oooooo
This is more than puppy love
They keep creeping back just like the tides
My memories of those sleepless nights
With you
Running free and feral through the woods
I never felt so understood
To think it's over burns me more
Than silver ever could
Oooo Ooo Ooo
Howling at the moon
Know you're out there howling too
This wild inside can't be chained up
I'm hungry for your untamed touch
Oooo
This is more than puppy love
They try and tell us that this isn't rare
But there's no one else like you out there
Who else could I ever let see
The beast I keep inside of me
I thought that love would run from me on
Sight
But when I bared my soul in the moonlight
You saw my claws, you showed no fear
Just said, "All the better to hold you, my dear"
Don't wanna live my life as a lone wolf
I'll find a way across this gulf
Whatever corners they pull us to
I'll scratch and crawl right back to you
This love's ferocious and untamed
My loyalty will never wane
Can't let it go like they want me to
I'm only human, that's half true
Howling at the moon
Know you're out there howling too
If I could run fast enough
I'd chase down your untamed touch
No, this wild inside can't be chained up
I'm hungry for your love
Oooo
This is more than puppy love
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo
Awooo! Awooo! Awooo
This is more than puppy love
