They'll roam the streets with boos and shrieks

Chase down every treat they can find

And if you don't give them sugary goods

They'll leave something nasty  behind

There'll be goblins and ghosts and witches with brooms

Zombies and vampires too

Be sure to treat them all the same

Don't hold out whatever you do

Size them up when they come to the door

Don't turn your back on them

There are greedy ghouls that play dirty tricks

And come back again and again

And when the moon is high in the sky

The spooks will disappear

They'll be gone as if they never were

But they'll be back next year
