This is Halloween Lyrics

by Danny Elfman. From The Nightmare Before






Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?



[SIAMESE SHADOW]



[PUMPKIN PATCH CHORUS]


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
[CREATURE UNDER THE BED]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

[MAN UNDER THE STAIRS]
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair




[CORPSE CHORUS]






Halloween! Halloween!

Halloween!


In this town

we call home


Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
[MAYOR]

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
[CORPSE CHORUS]

Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
[HARLEQUIN DEMON, WEREWOLF & MELTING MAN]
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green
[WEREWOLF]
Aren't you scared?

[WITCHES]


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

[HANGING TREE]

Everybody scream, everbody scream



[HANGED MEN]
In our town of Halloween!

[CLOWN]
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

[SECOND GHOUL]
I am the "who" when you call,

"Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
[OOGIE BOOGIE SHADOW]


Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
[CORPSE CHORUS]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!


[CHILD CORPSE TRIO]
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

[PARENT CORPSES]

In our town of Halloween
[CORPSE CHORUS]
In this town

Don't we love it now?

Everybody's waiting for the next surprise


[CORPSE CHORUS]

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy

Our man jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now!
[EVERYONE]


this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

[CORPSE CHILD TRIO]
In this town we call home

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song


La la la la-la la [Repeat]
