Bilingual
When hinges creak in door-less chambers
And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls
Whenever candle-lights flicker where the air is deathly still
That is the time when ghosts are present
Practicing their terror with ghoulish delight
ย
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 over a 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 spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size
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 over a 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 spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size (eerie, I say, again)
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 over a dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out socialize
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size
If you would like to join our jamboree
There's a simple rule that's compulsory (hurry back, hurry back)
Mortals pay a token fee (hurry back)
Rest in peace, the haunting's free (be sure to bring your death certificate)
So hurry back, we would like your company (if you decide to join us)
Make final arrangements, now
We've been, dying, to have you
