Lyrics

On the eve of Hal low een, witch es fly ’cross the sky.

Sil hou et ted by the moon they make an awe some sight.

When they land, they gath er at a night club called the Big Black Cat.

There they sip some foam ing brew then boog ie ’cross the floor.

Jack o’ lan terns light the stage; Were wolf’s band is the rage!

He leads off with spook y tunes on the sax o phone.

Skel e tons in par ty hats shim my with vam pire bats.

Ghosts slip in side thru a wall.

They have a ball!

Winds howl out side thru the trees, tomb stones shake, moun tains quake.

They all know the par ty lasts just ’til the break of day.

Frank en stein comes with a date; Drac u la shows up late.

They’ve all come to cel e brate this hap py Hal low een!

They’ve all come to cel e brate this hap py Hal low een!

They’ve all come to cel e brate this hap py Hal low een!
