Halloween Songs

Up on the housetop bone deer pause.

Look, it’s Jack as Sandy Claws!
Down through the chimney with lots of toys,
All for the buried ones’ Halloween joys!

Chorus: 

No, no, no! You shouldn’t go,
No, no, no! You shouldn’t go 

All through the mansion, there goes Jack,
Down through the graveyard with his sack!

First comes the stocking for the headless knight.

Oh, just look! What a horrible sight.
Jack left a dolly with a zombie head.
Well, at least it’s good and dead!

(Chorus)

Next, there’s a stocking for a grinning ghost.
My oh my, what a kindly host!
Jack left a train with squid-like tracks,
And a crazy puppet with a great big ax.

(Chorus)

Old mansion tree, old mansion tree,
your leaves are sharp and prickly.

Old mansion tree, old mansion tree,
you bring a gloom that’s sickly.

Your branches droop with moldy care;
your smell of mildew fills the air.

Old mansion tree, old mansion tree,
you clear the room so quickly.

Old mansion tree, old mansion tree,
oh how we decorate you!.

Old mansion tree, old mansion tree,
with ornaments we weight you.

Your limbs are limp with bats and bows;
your tinsel tarnished years ago.

Old mansion tree, old mansion tree,
a fireplace awaits you.

 

Wreck the halls with bones and spiders;

fa la la la la la la la la
‘Tis the season for ghost riders;

fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now scary apparel.

fa la la la la la la la la
Dress up like Lock, Shock, and Barrel!

fa la la la la la la la la

Join the chaos, strike the harp;

fa la la la la la la la la
Ouch! the leaves are really sharp;

fa la la la la la la la la
If they eat you, It’s their pleasure;

fa la la la la la la la la
You’ll become their yuletide treasure;

fa la la la la la la la la

 

 Over the graveyard and through the tombs,
to the Haunted Mansion we go.

It’s dark on the way to our doom buggy sleigh;
‘neath eerie candles glow!

Over the graveyard and through the tombs;
a happy haunt’s delight!

Oh feel the chill of ghosts’ good will;
come scream on Halloween night!

Over the graveyard and through the tombs;
oh see the spirits play.

The doors do creak as ghoulies shriek,
“A Grim Grinning Holiday!”

Over the graveyard and through the tombs;
a happy haunt’s delight!

Oh feel the chill of ghosts’ good will;
come scream on Halloween night!

 

SCARY BELLS

Crashing through the night with a horrid mangling sound;
clang each heart with fright, terrorize the town.
Bells from bellfries ring, making spirits rise;
The freaky tones, like voices, moan throughout the midnight skies.

Chorus:
Oh! Scary bells, scary bells, ring your ghostly call!
Oh! What fun it is to scream and terrorize us all.
Ah! Scary bells, scary bells, with your manic sound,
When you toll, the spirits roll from six feet underground.

(Moans: oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh, a day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride,
To see the mansions sights, to see what was inside.
My horse began to rear; the scary bells did clang.
I fell into an open grave; to cheer myself, I sang:

Chorus:
Oh! Scary bells, scary bells, ring your ghostly call!
Oh! What fun it is to scream and terrorize us all.
Ah! Scary bells, scary bells, with your manic sound,
When you toll, the spirits roll from six feet underground.

 

Deck the patch with orange and black,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Take along your goody sack,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our weird apparel,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Troll the ancient Pumpkin carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the Great One rise before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
As we sing the Pumpkin chorus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow him as he ascends,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Join with true Great Pumpkin friends,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

I’m dreaming of the Great Pumpkin,
Just like I do this time each year.
When he brings nice toys,
To good girls and boys,
Who wait for him to appear.

I’m dreaming of the Great Pumpkin,
With every Pumpkin card I write.
May your jack-o-lanterns burn bright,
When the Great Pumpkin visits you tonight.

 

GRIM GRINNING GHOSTS

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a swinging wake;
Happy haunts materialize
And begin to vocalize,
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize.

Now don’t close your eyes and don’t try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side;
Shrouded in a daft disguise
They pretend to terrorize,
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize.

As the moon climbs high o’er the dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree;
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize,
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize.

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell;
Restless bones etherialize
Rise as spooks of every size.
(maniacal laughter)

If you would like to join our jamboree
There’s a simple rule that’s compulsory:
Mortals pay a token fee
Rest in peace, the haunting’s free
So hurry back, we would like your company!

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 neighbors gonna die of fright
It’s our town, everybody scream

I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

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 to pounce, and how you’ll…

Scream! This is Halloween
Red ‘n’ 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?

Everyones waiting for the next surprize

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
Would ‘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!

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, Halloween! Halloween! [Repeat Again 2 more times]
