From "The Nightmare Before Christmas"
Written by: Danny Elfman

[Shadow:]
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

[Siamese Shadow:]
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

[Pumpkin Patch Chorus:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

[Ghosts:]
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick of treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

[Creature Under Bed:]
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

[Man Under the Stairs:]
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

[Corpse Chorus:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween

[Vampires:]
Halloween!  Halloween!  Halloween!  Halloween!
Everybody waiting for the next surprise

[Mayor:]
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise

[Corpse Chorus:]
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll

[Harlequin Demon, Werewolf, and Melting Man:]
Scream!  This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green

[Werewolf:]
Aren't you scared?

[Witches:]
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take the chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

[Hanging Tree:]
Everybody scream, everybody scream

[Hanged Men:]
In our town of Halloween

[Clown:]
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

[Second Ghoul:]
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair

[Oogie Boogie Shadow:]
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

[Corpse Chorus:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween!  Halloween!  Halloween!  Halloween!
Halloween!  Halloween!

[Child Corpse Trio:]
Tender lumpings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

[Parent Corpses:]
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

[Corpse Chorus:]
In this town

[Mayor:]
Don't we love it now?

[Mayor with Corpse Chorus:]
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise

[Corpse Chorus:]
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is king of the Pumpkin King now

[Everyone:]
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween!  Halloween!  Halloween!  Halloween!

[Child Corpse Trio:]
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

[Everyone:]
La la la la, Halloween!  Halloween!(etc.)
