This is Halloween
Disney Characters 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 'till 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 surprise

'Round that corner man, hiding in the trash cans
Something's waiting for the 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 a 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?
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
Wont 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





La la la, lalala, la la, lalala, la la, lalala, lalala, woo!

1. Thank you for adding the underrated Disney Villains and the sidekicks as well, thought that was a very nice touch.

2. I like how you changed the lyrics to fit the characters, but didnt change every single one. It still felt as though it came from two things: A dedicated Disney fan and Disney themselves, which I RARELY see nowadays.

3. It does seem as though you had a LOT of fun with this, especially on Hades, Kaa, Ratigan, pretty much every to be honest.

4. How are you so good at this like- These voice impressions must have taken you YEARS to master!!!

Here's a reward. I dont have a crown emoji so have a heart and a trophy: ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ†

Loki

Thanos

Belos from Owl House

Lord Hater from Wander Over Yonder

Dr. Drakken
