• It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
  The moon is full and bright
  And we shall see what can't be seen
  On any other night.
  Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
  Grinning goblins fighting duels
  Werewolves rising from their tombs,
  Witches on their magic brooms
  In masks and gown we haunt the street
  And knock on doors for trick or treat
  Tonight we are the king and queen,
  For oh tonight it's Halloween!
