Halloween Night – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(wolf howling)

A long time ago on Halloween night

under the glow of the full moon's light

A group of children out to trick or treat

find themselves locked out of the House of Sweets

The three keys that will open the door

were stolen by creatures never seen here before

A witch, a vampire, and skeleton pirates

Someone must be brave enough to go out and find them

Run, run, run

Don't let them get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight

Run, run, run

before they get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight

When every living thing

is hiding in the silent night

you hear a cry

(screams)

Her eyes are fire flames

but her heart is cold as ice

Hear my advice

or you pay the price

Smelly robe and pointy hat

Greenish skin and spooky cat

Chanting spells in a high pitch

Holy cow, she's a witch!

Run, run, run

don't let them get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight

Run, run, run

Before they get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight

Though you can barely see

Just for a moment you believe

There's something in the air

In the midnight hour

He comes to trail you in disguise

Open your eyes

He's got appetite

Pale as the moon

and quick as a bat

Fangs so long

they could poke through ten hats

He hides in the shadows

like a big tarantula

Run for your life!

It's Count Dracula!

Run, run, run

Don't let them get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight

Run, run, run

before they get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight

The skeletons, the skeletons

Their bones can shake like gelatin

And if you hear a clickety-clack

You better run and don't turn back

Run, run, run

Don't let them get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight

Run, run, run

Before they get you when the moon is bright

It's Halloween tonight
