THIS IS HALLOWEEN ( THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS)
[shadow]
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
[pumpkin patch chorus]
This is halloween, this is halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
[ghosts]
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
[creature under the bed]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
[man under the stairs]
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
[corpse chorus]
This is halloween, this is halloween
[vampires]
Halloween! halloween! halloween! halloween!
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
[corpse chorus]
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash cam
Something’s waiting no to pounce, and how you’ll…
[harlequin demon, werewolf & melting man]
Scream! this is halloween
Red ‘n’ black, 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, everbody scream
[hanged men]
In our town of halloween!
[clown]
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
[second ghoul]
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
[corpse chorus]
This is halloween, this is halloween
Halloween!(6x)
[child corpse trio]
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
[corpse chorus]
In this town
[mayor]
Don’t we love it now?
Everybody is waiting for the next surprise
[corpse chorus]
Skeleton jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is halloween, everybody 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 now
[everyone]
This is halloween, this is halloween
Halloween! halloween! halloween! halloween!
[corpse child trio]
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
[everyone]
La la-la la, halloween! halloween! [repeat]
