The Silliest Scare

Lyrics

[Intro] The porch light flickers—who’s at the door? A witch on a broom and a ghost on the floor! [Verse 1] Pumpkin grin with a crooked little tooth, Black cat’s judging from the chimney roof. Witches roll by with their hats held tight, Spooks play tag in the pantry tonight. Kids hit the steps with their pillowcase sacks, “Trick or treat!” and they’re doubling back. One grabs a caramel, one grabs a chew, Then the ghost says, “Hey, save a piece for the crew!” [Chorus] Ghosts in the hallway, witches in flight, Kids with a candy haul, laughing all night! Boo at the window, bats overhead, Sugar in your pocket and a hat on your head! Hey! Hey! Halloween! The silliest scare that you’ve ever seen! [Verse 2] A little ghoul trading taffy for corn, A vampire yawns—he got up too soon. The witch drops a wrapper, the broom takes off, The ghost laughs so hard that he rattles right off. A kid in a cape makes a monster face, Then asks the whole crew to pick up the pace. They march down the block with a sugary stash, While the moon watches over the candy-bag dash. [Chorus] Ghosts in the hallway, witches in flight, Kids with a candy haul, laughing all night! Boo at the window, bats overhead, Sugar in your pocket and a hat on your head! Hey! Hey! Halloween! The silliest scare that you’ve ever seen! [Bridge] Knock-knock—who’s there? A spider with a snack! Broomstick—zoom! The witch is coming back! Ghost says “Boo!” and the kids shout “More!” Candy wrappers tumble across the floor! [Final Chorus] Ghosts in the hallway, witches in flight, Kids with a candy haul, laughing all night! Boo at the window, bats overhead, Sugar in your pocket and a hat on your head! Hey! Hey! Halloween! The silliest scare that you’ve ever seen! [Outro] One last treat, then we’re home by ten— See you next Halloween again!
