(Verse 1)

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


(Chorus)

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night


(Verse 2)

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


(Chorus)

I am the one hiding under your bed

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red


(Verse 3)

I am the one hiding under your stairs

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair


(Chorus)

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!


(Verse 4)

In this town, we call home

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song


(Chorus)

In this town, don't we love it now?

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise


(Verse 5)

Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can

Something's waiting no to pounce and how you'll


(Chorus)

Scream! This is Halloween

Red 'n' black, slimy green


(Verse 6)

Aren't you scared?


(Chorus)

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


(Chorus)

Everybody scream, everybody scream


(Verse 7)

In our town of Halloween!


(Chorus)

I am the clown with the tear-away face

Here in a flash and gone without a trace


(Verse 8)

I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"

I am the wind blowing through your hair


(Chorus)

I am the shadow on the moon at night

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright


(Verse 9)

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!


(Chorus)

Halloween! Halloween!


(Outro)

Tender lumplings everywhere


Now you can finally sing along with the lyrics to "This is Halloween." Happy Halloween to all you spooky little ghouls, and don't forget to wrap up in a Halloween blanket for the film!
