[English]

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 'til the neighbors gonna die of fright

It's our town, everybody scream

In this town of Halloween

I am the one hiding under your bed

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

I am the one hiding under your stairs

Fingers like snakes and spiders in thy hair

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween, Halloween

Halloween, Halloween

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 now to pounce and how you'll scream

This is Halloween, red and 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 in the moon at night

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

This is Halloween, this is 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?

Everyone's waiting for the next surprise

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 you 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

(Halloween, Halloween)

(Halloween, Halloween)

(Halloween, Halloween)

(Halloween) Woo!
