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?)

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
