This is Halloween
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 my 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 suprise

Round that corner man
hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting it depends and how you'll
Scream this is Halloween
Red and black and 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 our town don't we love it now
Everyone's waiting for the next suprise

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
Won't you please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the pumpkin king

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 la....
Weee!

Tim Burton is a genius

@CrimCrim
