Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(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,
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!)

The song Grim Grinning Ghosts by VoicePlay takes listeners into the eerie and spooky world of ghosts and goblins. Starting with the line "We've been dying to have you," there is an immediate sense of foreboding and anticipation. The crypt doors creek and the tombstones quake, setting the stage for the spooks to come out and have a swinging wake. The happy haunts materialize and vocalize their presence with the iconic refrain "Grim Grinning Ghosts, come out to socialize."
As the song progresses, we learn that the ghosts are not only present at night but also during the day when the moon climbs high on the dead oak tree. The creepy creeps with eerie eyes harmonize and shriek, adding to the chilling atmosphere. The ghosts invite people not to close their eyes or try to hide as they attempt to terrorize them. However, these ghosts are silly spooks, shrouded in depth's disguise, and pretending to be scary.
The song takes listeners on a journey through a haunted mansion, where banshees sail into the night and sing their frightful tone. The deep voice welcomes foolish mortals to the haunted mansion and prompts them to move to the dead center of the room. The ringer of the requiem bell is the signal for spirits to dwell in the gloom, with restless bones and ethereal eyes. The song ends with the iconic refrain, "Grim Grinning Ghosts, come out to socialize," as the spooks continue to haunt and entertain.

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.
