Gather ’round creeps, gather ’round fools

gather ’round spirits and gather ’round ghouls

Listen to me, for I have a story of blackening fright

and all things gory

of grinning pumpkins and demon cats

of wicked witches and scurrying rats

They’ve all come together to celebrate and feast

Larry the wolf, and Igor the beast

For this is the night when little babies cry

and orange mist pours from their eyes

Monster girls and monster men patiently wait for the fun to begin

What do they know that we’ve never seen? I’ll tell you my friend,

The glorious hootenanny they call Halloween
