This Is Halloween
Danny Elfman Lyrics

Boys and girls of every age
People of all ages gather around

Wouldn't you like to see something strange
Curious to explore the eerie and weird

Come with us and you will see,
Join us and explore this town of Halloween

This our town of Halloween
The town is transformed, embracing the spirit of Halloween

This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
This is the night of chills, this is the night of Halloween

Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
Pumpkins come to life in the eerie stillness of night

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene,
Everyone puts on a show, making the night even more memorable

Trick or treat till the neighbours come and die of fright
Knock on every door, until the neighbors are scared out of their wits

It's our town, everybody scream,
It may be a spooky town, but we are all united in eerie fun

In this town of Halloween
A town where the night of Halloween reigns supreme

I am the one hiding under your bed,
A creature lurks under your bed, waiting to pounce

Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
The creature's teeth are sharp, and eyes are glowing a bright red

I am the one hiding under your stairs,
Another creature waits under the stairs, hidden from sight

Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
Long, wiry fingers and hair filled with spiders, a frightening figure indeed

This is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
This indeed is the night of spooks, the night of Halloween

In this town we call home,
In this town where Halloween is the norm

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
Everybody celebrates to the sound of the pumpkin song

In this town, don't we love it now,
In this town, everyone is mad about the night of Halloween

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Everyone is anticipating the next scary thrill of the night

Round that corner, then,
Around every bend and corner, lurks the next scare

Hiding in the trash cans,
Horror hides in unlikely places, like trash cans

Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll..
Something waits to jump out, scaring you out of your wits

Scream, this is Halloween,
Scream out loud, this is the night of Halloween

Red and black and slimy green,
The colors of the night are eerie and slimy

Aren't you scared? Well, that's just fine,
It's alright to feel scared, that's the thrill of Halloween

Say it once, say it twice,
Maybe say it thrice or more, to feel more fearless

Take a chance and roll the dice,
Take a risk, and experience more chills and frights

Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Ride along with the moon, as it shines down on the night of Halloween

Everybody scream, everybody scream,
Scream together, and feel the thrill of the night

In our town or Halloween
This is Halloween, in our town of eerie sights and sounds

I am the clown with the tear-away face,
I am the clown who can peel off my face, revealing true terror beneath

Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I'm here one moment, and then gone the next, like a shadow fleeing the light

I am the who when you call "Who's there?",
I am the one who answers when you knock, but with sinister intentions

I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the chilling breeze blowing through your hair, signaling the arrival of terror

I am the shadow on the moon at night,
I am the shadow that looms over the moon at night, instilling a sense of dread

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
Filling your dreams with eerie and scary experiences, causing you to wake up in fright

Tender lumplings everywhere,
Soft objects scattered all around

Life's no fun without a good scare,
Life becomes more exciting with a bit of spookiness thrown in

That's our job but we're not mean
It's our job to scare, but not with any malicious intent

In our town of Halloween
Where the night is full of spookiness, in our town of Halloween

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
Be careful not to let Skeleton Jack catch you off guard, or it will send a chill down your spine

And scream like a banshee,
And belch out a scream like a banshee, causing your heart to skip a beat

Make you jump out of your skin!
It will make you so scared that you will jump out of your skin

This is Halloween, everybody scream,
This is what Halloween is all about, scream together and enjoy the terror

Won't you please make way for a very special guy
Make way for a very special guy who has set his sights on Halloween

Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch,
Jack, the king of Halloween, dominates the town like a mighty ruler

Everyone hail to the pumpkin king
Everyone bows down to the ruler of Halloween, the Pumpkin King

Now, this is Halloween, this is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween
This is what Halloween is all about, and we celebrate it with great excitement and enthusiasm

In this town we call home everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In Halloween town, everyone rejoices to the melody of the pumpkin song
