John McCutcheon and Si Kahn

On the last day of October

When the air is turning cold

Strange things happen in our neighborhood

Young people turn into old

Old folks turn into goblins

Boys and girls turn into bums

We just turned into your driveway

Halloween, here we come

Chorus:

Just one night, I'm no one you'll recognize

Just one night, I'm no one you'll know

Just one night, I'm allowed to fantasize

Halloween, here we go!

Everyone tries to be scary

Nobody tries to be scared

Everybody's fixin' to do a little trickin'

And nobody's gonna be spared

There's apple bobbin' down in the basement

Candy and there's treats at the door

Where the dead meet the living

and the taking meets the giving

Nothing is the same anymore

Chorus

On Halloween everything's possible

On Halloween the false is true

On Halloween it's always a scream

To see what ordinary people might do

Tonight the world's turned upside down

Nothing's like it was in the light

I crawl, I cry, I swoop, I fly

And I gotta do it all tonight
