Skulls are cackling, are you listening,

The bloody snow, it's glistening,

A terrible sight,

We're running in fright.

Living through this awful nightmare

Gone away is the happiness,

Here to stay is this awfulness.

He screams a sound of fright

As we quake in the night,

Living through this awful nigthmare

In the meadow we can bury the dead,

Will Dr. Finklestein make them undead?

He'll say: Gimme frogs' breath and nightshade

We'll say: Not us humans, we can't be made.

Don't try to do the job

While you're in town.

Later on our houses burn in fire,

The situation's now dire

We're now all afraid,

By the plans the undead made

Living through this awful nightmare

In the meadow, Jack is screaming

As we cringe away from the shrieking

We're terribly afraid of Mister Skellington

We're unable to kill 'im

He's started killing,

This is quite chilling

We'll run and we'll hide,

And bide out our time

Living through this awful nightmare

Living through this awful nightmare
