are you smellin it
in your bones when youre home you’re alone
on your own you can tell that it
it’s making its way to you now and it’s
sneaking right up your spine
it’s a sinister glare in the air and your hair
raises up your arms
but you won’t be harmed
a familiar fear
that something is headed your way and the day it is coming near
and you can’t help but feel just a little bit of
your excitement now
cause you know that no matter what happens it’s gonna be fun somehow
and anyhow
haunted houses ghosts and ghouls
howling in the streets
paint and makeup you can fool
everyone you meet
something wicked this way comes
when the leaves turn brown
and the wind makes a chilly gusts rattle the trees all throughout the town
and you have to grab onto your favorite sweater but have no fear
cause all the fun holidays follow this one and they’re coming near
it’s that time of year
and it’s in my bones
like the skeletons playing their ribs making chimes like xylophones
and the black cat’s that arch on the fences and they look electrical
stack the pumpkins and witches and scarecrows admire the spectacle
it’s magical
and any other holiday
just pales when you compare
Halloween will reign supreme
so let’s have us a scare
knock hey are you home
trick or treating
we have bags to fill
candy for eating
trouble in the streets
little vampires
ring all of the bells
put down the fires
(see what transpires)
howling at the moon
on a hayride
sipping on some brew
by the fireside
nothing else comes close
to this feeling
we love halloween
and we MEAN IT
something wicked this way comes

Black Cat Shuffle

Pretty little kitty on the highest branch of Halloween tree
won’t you climb on down and do that black cat shuffle with me
we can swing our tails
we can clap our paws
wiggle our ears and snap our claws
we’ll do the black cat shuffle cause it really is the cat’s meow
cozy on up to your favorite scratching post
then we can chase the little birdies do some catnip and lose control
we’ve got the thickest milk and the finest fish
served up warm on a tuna dish
then we can black cat shuffle cause it really is the cat’s meow
when the clock strikes one and the moon is yellow and bright
and all the sassy little trick-or-treaters head on home for the night
we’ll have ourselves some pumpkin bog
sashay past the ol junkyard dog
and do the black cat shuffle cause it really is the cat’s
the cat scratch tuffle on the witch’s hats
the black cat shuffle cause it really is the cat’s meow

Halloween Queen

ever since i was a little baby i can say that i was crazy for this day so
every day that’s in between it
every second every minute every hour that i’m in it’s just another minute standing between me and halloween
you could make the argument that valuable time is spent when dreaming of a pumpkin or the sound of falling leaves
but let me paint thee a small picture of a happy little kid who’s got a paper bag that’s full of candy, hey that kid is me!
so i’m packin the expansion for my hallow kingdom mansion
decking out the haunted walls and halls we can do the monster mash in
with brooms and hats and the feral cats leaning on their posts howling at the bats going flap flap flap while the bones relax in the coffins where theyr’e nappin’
kisses for the halloqueen the mistress of the twilight
strike a match and light that candle burning up to midnight
if that carriage turns into a pumpkin we know we’ll be alright
with some cauldron ale as the goblins wail and the spirits take their flight

On Top of Mt. Smokey

on top of mount smokey
all covered with mud
there lives an old vampire
who’ll suck all your blood
he sleeps in a coffin, he wears a silk robe
he plays with the spiders, he has a pet toad
when mary had that little lamb whose fleece was white as snow
that old vampire desired her but little did she know
he followed her to school one day which was against the rules
it made the children laugh and play to see a bat at school
on top of mount smokey
the fog is so thick
you can’t reach his mansion
the stones are too slick
but he’ll fly down to you
trespassers beware
he stalks you at nighttime
drag you to his lair
and if you see this old vampire at night I guarantee
It very well will be the last thing that you’ll ever see!
on top of mount smokey
all covered with mud
there lives an old vampire
who’ll suck all your blood
He rests in his mansion
His fingers are long
He’s reaching out to me…
That’s the end of this song
