Grim Grinning Ghosts
VoicePlay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been dying to have you
(Mwahahahaha!)
Oh, well the crypt doors creek and the tombstones quake.
spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts, materialize
and begin to vocalize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts, come out to socialize.
When the moon climes high on the dead oak tree,
spooks are awake for the midnight spree.
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes,
start to shreik and harmonize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts, come out to-to-to socialize.
Now don't, close your eyes and don't try to hide.
for a silly spook makes it by your side.
Shrouded in the depths disguise,
they pretend to terrorize.
Grim Grinning Ghosts, come out to socialize.
Well, the ghouls begin to shed there skin
and demons shake their bones.
A banshee sails into the night
and sing their frieghtful tone.
(Deep Voice)Welcome, foolish mortals,
to the haunted mansion.
(Mwhahahahahaha!)
Please move to the dead center of the room.
A-when you hear the nell of a requim bell,
were glow screams where spirits dwell.
restless bones, etherial eyes.
Raise of spooks of every size.
Grim Grinning Ghosts,
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize.
when the crypt doors creek and the tombstones quake
(Ahhhh!)
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.




(Mwhahahahaha!)
End

I paid $100 for a Disney ticket and rode only the Haunted Mansion ride all day so that I could sing this song over and over again. My family has since disowned me.

Something about the fact they can only express themselves through facial expressions like this without body language gives off cursed vibes but damn this is great
