On the night of Halloween
Anticipation weighs heavy
As the boys and girls get their costumes at the ready
For it's the night when candy flows beneath the moon's glow
Where everywhere you hear the noise of laughter echo
With scary sights and many frights
Kids walk by porch light
For there's nothing else that is quite like a starry Halloween night
Glowing jack-o'-lantern lights
In the air there is a fright
The neighbors handing out delights
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Trick or treat, we need a sweet
Your footsteps creaking up a neighbor's porch stair
Oh, a full-size candy bar, well that seems fair
But watch out for the houses giving raisins in a box
A few of those and you'll suppose you'll try a different block
Yes, trick-or-treating with your friends always feels so right
Because in every year there's only one Halloween night
Glowing jack-o'-lantern lights
In the air there is a fright
The neighbors handing out delights
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Trick or treat, we need a sweet
If you eat too much candy
You may very well turn green
And that, my friends, may ruin an otherwise perfect Halloween
But if you eat too little, you may possibly be sad
And that may make an otherwise perfect Halloween seem bad
So boys and girls, on Halloween, here's what you must do
Limit your candy intake to precisely 22
Glowing jack-o'-lantern lights
In the air there is a fright
The neighbors handing out delights
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Trick or treat, we need a sweet
You can be a superhero, vampire, ghost or fairy
Or you can be a Sasquatch if you prefer being hairy
You can be a zombie, unicorn, clown or witch
Or wear a puffy suit, but just hope you don't get an itch
A costume can be anything you fear or you revere
So what will you choose to be for Halloween this year
The glowing jack-o'-lantern lights
In the air there is a fright
The neighbors handing out delights
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Trick or treat, we need a sweet
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah
It's Halloween night, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Trick or treat, we need a sweet
