The Old House Sings

Lyrics

[Intro] Midnight rattles on the gate Costumes crowd the crooked lane [Verse 1] A ghost in a bedsheet taps the glass Two green witches let the black cat pass A little monster with a paper crown Runs up the steps and pounds it down [Pre-Chorus] The porch light flickers, the door swings wide A bowl of sugar waits inside [Chorus] Ghosts and witches, stomp your feet Spooks and kids out on the street Candy in a pillowcase Halloween has claimed this place Hey! Hey! The old house sings Hey! Hey! The night takes wing [Verse 2] A skeleton drummer bangs a tin-pan lid A vampire laughs at the dare he did The smallest goblin, all orange and gold Trades one caramel for a handful to hold [Pre-Chorus] The moon keeps watch above the trees While laughter rattles every key [Chorus] Ghosts and witches, stomp your feet Spooks and kids out on the street Candy in a pillowcase Halloween has claimed this place Hey! Hey! The old house sings Hey! Hey! The night takes wing [Bridge] Who’s at the window? A ghost says, “Boo!” Who’s by the mailbox? A witch says, “You!” One more sweet, then home we go Past the pumpkins in a row [Final Chorus] Ghosts and witches, stomp your feet Spooks and kids out on the street Candy in a pillowcase Halloween has claimed this place Hey! Hey! The old house sings Hey! Hey! The night takes wing [Outro] The gate swings shut, the cobwebs sway Save us a treat for Halloween day
