While spiders tap-dance on tiny feet.
Cauldrons bubble with neon green slime,
Black cats groove right in time.
Jack-o’-lanterns grin with glowing flair,
Bats spin records in the midnight air.

Trick-or-treaters storm the door.
Candy flies and cackles rise,
Under eerie orange skies.
So grab your broom and join the scene,
It’s time to rock this Halloween!
With funky chills and wicked delight,
We’re creepin’ it real all through the night.
