with vampires, zombies and ghost galore
lurking behind ever closed door
as you knock, beware the host
will they be friendly, or a ghost

will they bare treats of candy and toys
or will they pounce on you girls and boys
the pumpkins lights show there happy to play
or are they a trick to attract there prey

knock carefully and be ready to run
it might be a zombie looking for "fun"
just how fast can your legs really go
could they outrun a werewolf if one were to show

beware a black cat, should he make himself known
for near this house he is likely to roam
be careful now when you get ready to knock
because it is now midnight, 12 o'clock
