Grim Grinning Ghosts
The Living Tombstone
(When hinges creak, in doorless chambers)
(And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls)
(Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still)
(That is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight)
When the crypt doors creak, and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a singing wake
Happy haunts materialize and begin to vocalize
Grim, grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Now, don't close your eyes, and don't try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise, they pretend to terrorize
Grim, grinning ghosts come out to socialize
As the Moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes start to shriek and harmonize
Grim, grinning ghosts come out to socialize
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where the spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size (mwahahaha)
When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a swinging-wake
Happy haunts materialize, and begin to vocalize
Grim, grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Now, don't close your eyes, and don't try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise, they pretend to terrorize
Grim, grinning ghosts come out to socialize
As the Moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes start to shriek and harmonize
Grim, grinning ghosts come out to socialize
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where the spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size (mwahahaha)
