I don't own the Nightmare before Christmas.
Twas a long time ago.
Longer now than it seems.
In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.
For the story you are about to be told took place in holiday worlds of old.
Now, you probably wondered where holidays come from.
If you haven't, I'd it's time you begun.
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange
Come with us and you will see
This our town of Halloween
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 our town of Halloween
I am one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween
This is Halloween
Halloween x4
Vampires: In this town, we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
Mayor: in this town
Don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Round that corner
Man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce and now you'll
Scream
This is Halloween
Red n black and slimy green
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
Tree: everybody scream
Everybody scream
In our town of Halloween
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in flash and gone without a trace
I am the who when you call who's there
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween
This is Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Halloween
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job
But we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
Mayor: In this town
Don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jackie might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin.
This is Halloween everybody scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special gal
Our gal Jackie is Queen of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the pumpkin Queen now
This is Halloween

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
