Andrew Gold - Andrew Gold's Halloween Howls: Fun & Scary Music Lyrics






It Must Be Halloween

(Hello Boys and girls
Welcome to my Halloween house
It's time to go trick or treating
So, be sure to light your pumpkins
Wee)

The ghost says boo
The cat says meow
The goblins say trick or treat
It must be Halloween

The wolf howls
The wind blows
The witches laugh, hee, hee, hee
It must be Halloween

Skeletons may dance about
By jack 'o lanterns light
Spooks and monsters are all out
'Cause the moon is full tonight

The slime goes
The ooze goes, eww
It's yucky but it's fun tonight
It must be Halloween

Woo
Oh yeah
Scary

Skeletons may dance about
By jack 'o lanterns light
Spooks and monsters are all out
'Cause the moon is full tonight

The ghost says boo
The cat says meow (scat)
The goblins say trick or treat
It must be Halloween
It must be Halloween

The Monster Mash

I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

(He did the mash) He did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(He did the mash) He did the monster mash

(Wa-ooh) From my laboratory in the castle east
(Wa-ooh) To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
(Wah-wa-ooh) The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
(Wa-ooh) To get a jolt from my electrodes


(They did the mash) They did the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They did the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They did the mash) They did the monster mash
[Bridge]
(Wa-ooh) The zombies were having fun (An-a-shoop)
(Ah-ooh) The party had just begun (An-a-shoop)
(Ah-ooh) The guests included Wolfman (An-a-shoop)
(Ah-ooh) Dracula, and his son

(Wa-ooh) The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
(Wa-ooh) Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
(Wah-wa-ooh) The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
(Wa-ooh) With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

(They played the mash) They played the monster mash
(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash
(They played the mash) It caught on in a flash
(They played the mash) They played the monster mash

(Wa-ooh) Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
(Wa-ooh) Seems he was troubled by just one thing
(Wah-wa-ooh) He opened the lid and shook his fist, and said
(Wa-ooh) "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

(It's now the mash) It's now the monster mash
(The monster mash) And it's a graveyard smash
(It's now the mash) It's caught on in a flash
(It's now the mash) It's now the monster mash

(Wa-ooh) Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
(Wa-ooh) My monster mash is the hit of the land
(Wah-wa-ooh) For you, the living, this mash was meant too
(Wa-ooh) When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

(Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash
(The monster mash) And do my graveyard smash
(Then you can mash) You'll catch on in a flash
(Then you can mash) Then you can monster mash

(Wa-ooh) Ugh, mash good! (Monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh) Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy (Monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh) Argh, mash good! Grrr! (Monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh, monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh, monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh, monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh, monster mash!)
(Wa-ooh, monster mash!)

Spooky Scary Skeletons

Spooky scary skeletons
Send shivers down your spine
Shrieking skulls will shock your soul
Seal your doom tonight
Spooky scary skeletons
Speak with such a screech
You'll shake and shudder in surprise
When you hear these zombies shriek
We're so sorry skeletons
You're so misunderstood
You only want to socialize
But I don't think we should
Cause spooky scary skeletons
Shout startling shrilly screams
They'll sneak from their sarcophagus
And just won't leave you be

Spirits supernatural
Are shy whats all the fuss
But bags of bones seem so unsafe
It's semi-serious!
Spooky scary skeletons
Are silly all the same
They'll smile and scrabble slowly by
And drive you so insane
Sticks and stones will break your bones
They seldom let you snooze
Spooky scary skeletons
Will wake you with a boo!

The Addams Family

They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're all together ooky
The Addams family

Their house is a museum
When people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams family

Neat
Sweet
Petite

So put a witch's shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams family

They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're all together ooky

Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters!
If there's something strange in you neighborhood,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
If there's something weird and it don't look good,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghost.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.

If you're seeing things running through your head,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
An invisible man sleeping in your bed,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghost.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
If you're all alone, pick up the phone and call

Gimme a Smile

A chubby little pumpkin
Sat in a patch
Waitin' breathlessly
To see just who was gonna snatch him
He pumped himself up
He kept himself clean
'Cause it was just a few days
Until Halloween

A pretty little cutie
In a lavender dress
Saw our boy and picked him up
Then she began to caress him
She hugged him and she squeezed
Till they were cheek to cheek
She almost dropped him on his bottom
When he started to speak

Could I make a small suggestion
Like to ask you just in case
You would remember this request
When you're designing my face?
He said

Please please
Please please
Gimme a smile
I'm only gonna be here
For the littlest while
Don't wanna be the jack 'o lantern
Scarin' away every candy-lovin' kid
Who's trick or treating today
No one wants a friend who only can frown
Turn up the ends of my mouth
Instead of turnin 'em down
Lookin' like a monster really isn't my style
So please make pretty
Please gimme a smile

He was a little bit worried
A little perplexed
'Cause all his other orange friends
Were actin' tougher than the next guy
One put on a grimace
One wore a scowl
One even wore a sheet
And then began to howl

He was oh-so happy
To be the little girl's choice
He giggled and he stammered
In his shy little voice
Then he whispered to her sweetly
In their cozy embrace
I want a pretty smile
Just like the one on your face
I'm only making one appearance
In this fleeting pumpkin life
Could you grant my one desire
When you carve me with that knife?

Please please
Please please
Gimme a smile
I'm only gonna be here
For the little-est while
Don't wanna be the jack 'o lantern
Scarin' away every candy lovin' kid
Who's trick or treating today
I'd be ever so grateful
If you give me a grin
Let all the happy little children
See the brightness within
Don't gimme no fangs
Like that mean crocodile
Please make pretty
Please gimme a smile

Please please
Gimme a smile
I'm only gonna be here
For the littlest while
Don't wanna be the jack 'o lantern
Scarin' away every candy lovin' kid
Who's trick or treating today
Gimme a great big grin
I'll be the happiest guy
The evening after Halloween
I'll be the tastiest pie
Well if i gotta go
Let me be goin' in style
Oh please please pretty please
Gimme a smile
Gimme a smile

The Creature from the Tub

("Okay, the bath's ready!")
The trick or treating was a big success
You ate some candy and now you're a mess
Then Mommy says "Okay, that's quite enough
Now it's time to get into the tub!"
(Oh man, do I have to?)

You take your Halloween costume off
Dip your big toe in, is it warm enough?
Look in the water, something bubbles up
Could it be the creature from the tub?

Clammy and slimy, gooey, yucky, grimy
Icky and sticky, hope it doesn't lick me
Wobbly, runny, "Mommy, it's not funny"
Watch out for the creature from the tub!

Maybe it slithered up the open drain
And now it's hiding 'neath my rubber ducky
You say it's nothing, but I hear blub, blub
Watch out for the creature from the tub!
(You okay in there? Yeah, I'm okay!)

It must have tentacles like jellyfish
With one big eye and squishy lips
(Mommy!)
It likes to swirl around, while Mommy scrubs
Watch out for the creature from the tub!
(There's something yucky in here!)

Clammy and slimy, gooey, yucky, grimy
Icky and sticky, hope it doesn't lick me
Wobbly, runny, "Mommy, it's not funny"
Watch out for the creature from the tub!

(Oh my!)
Now in these wet and murky suds I float
Not sure I'm happy here at all, oh no
Yikes, it's attached itself to Mommy's hands
Then I hear her say, "I found the soap!"

Clammy and slimy, gooey, yucky, grimy
Icky and sticky, hope it doesn't lick me
Wobbly, runny, "Mommy, it's not funny"
Watch out for the creature from the tub!
(There's something yucky in here!)

Halloween Party

Heh-heh-heh-heh
Yeah, c'mon in
Yeah, that's right here
We're havin' a party
(Halloween party)
That's right

Now everybody up and down the block

You're all dressed up with nowhere to rock

Even grumpy ghouls will feel alright
If they can dance by the pumpkin light
So come on over to my Halloween party tonight
(Halloween party)
(Halloween party)

Whoo, gonna make some punch that looks blood red
(Halloween party) Ha-ha
We'll decorate the house with spiderwebs
(Halloween party)
Some eerie music will go just right
So we can howl at the bright moonlight
So come on over to my Halloween party tonight
(Halloween party)

Now don't be scared
If the boogie man boogie (Boogie man boogie)
It's a spooky affair
So come on a-hauntin' with me

Dracula, Wolf Man, Frankenstein
Dead or alive, gonna have a good time
Come on over to my Halloween party tonight
(Halloween party)
So come on over to my Halloween party tonight

(Halloween party)

Get scary
(Halloween party)
C'mon, get scary

Witches, Witches, Witches

Witches, witches, witches on their brooms
Every year this very night
They all come out
Gives me a fright
You hear them cackle
As they fly by the moon
Witches, witches, witches on their brooms

Watch the skies on Halloween
Witches, witches, witches on their brooms
The strangest sight I've ever seen
Witches, witches, witches on their brooms

They must be boiling a magic brew
Some dragon's breath and eye of newt
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Hear them sing
Witches, witches, witches on the wing

Watch the skies on Halloween
Witches witches witches on their brooms
The strangest sight I've ever seen
Witches witches witches on their brooms
Oh, cast a spell on you
Oh, witches on their brooms
Witches witches witches on their brooms
Black hats, green skin
Warts and wrinkles and
Pointy chins , scary voices
Scary hair
Witches, witches, witches everywhere
Watch the skies on Halloween
Witches, witches, witches on their brooms
The strangest sight I've ever seen
Witches, witches, witches on their brooms
Watch the skies on Halloween
Witches, witches, witches on their brooms
The strangest sight I've ever seen
Witches, witches, witches on their brooms
Yeah, yeah, yeah

In Our Haunted House

Woah, woah
It's really comin' down
All wet, man
Let's duck in some place, over here, come here
Open the door
Alright, no way I'm goin' in there
I don't care, just open it
Oh, alright
Let's go in, c'mon, man
Okay, okay, okay
Woah, look at this place, man! (Yeah, yeah) It's cool!
I could like to leave
It's like a haunted house
Hey, the door!
Uh-oh
Mwahahaha
Welcome, boys, come right in

Please come in, you're welcome here
Mind the cobwebs and the bones
May we invite you to spend the night?
Make yourself at home
Step this way, here's the living room
Though "dead room" is actually, hmm, more correct
'Cause there hasn't been a living soul here
Since Grandpa broke his neck

In our haunted house
We'll treat you like one of us
But in our haunted house
That could be hazardous

Browse around the kitchen
Have a spoon, a fork, a knife
You must excuse those ketchup stains
We ate someone last night
Here is your big bedroom, dears
You'll love the creaky bed, heh-heh-heh
You'll sleep just fine, but when you wake
You still may feel half-dead

In our haunted house
The butler is a ghost
The upstairs maid's been buried for years
And the chauffeur's comatose
In our haunted house
Our hospitality
Is something of which we're very proud
Oh, do you take poison in your tea?

Don't let the spiderwebs mess up your hair
Don't mind the piano playing with no one there
The crumbling bookshelves covered with dust
One or two headless bodies, what's all the fuss?
The dreadful pounding, the screams and moans
It's just a typical night at home

In our haunted house
Things float through the walls
You might see sights that chill the soul
Be sure to wear a shawl

We'd love you to come in
Stay a while and play
Once you finally settle in
You'll never go away
We'll make sure of that

In our haunted house
In our haunted house
In our haunted house
In our haunted house
In our haunted house
In our haunted house
In our haunted house
In our haunted house
