Lyrics
Intro
Oh-oh, clank and hiss
Oh-oh, [Verse 1]
My uncle built a copper man
With a pocket watch for a heart
He tips his hat with a rusty hand
And he bows before he starts
He rattles when the moon comes up
His gears go round and round
He pours the tea and winds himself
Then dances through the town Goggles on, the pumpkins glow
Every piston starts to go
Goggles on, the hinges creak
We've been waiting all the week
Chorus
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Where the rusty clockwork calls
Crank your bones and turn the key
Every ghost is made of steel
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Won't you waltz with me
Post-Chorus
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Verse 2
The butler has a porcelain face
A crack right down the chin
He serves the punch then falls apart
We all put his parts back in
My cousin is a music box
She sings a haunted tune
She only stops when midnight drops
Beneath the harvest moon
Pre-Chorus
Goggles on, the boiler hums
Hear the little drummer drums
Goggles on, the wires spark
Let us tiptoe through the dark
Chorus
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Where the rusty clockwork calls
Crank your bones and turn the key
Every ghost is made of steel
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Won't you waltz with me
Post-Chorus
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Bridge
Spin the dial and hold on tight
We are strange but we are kind
Bolts and bubbles, brass and bone
Nobody here sleeps alone
Chorus
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Where the rusty clockwork calls
Crank your bones and turn the key
Every ghost is made of steel
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Won't you waltz with me
Post-Chorus
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Oh-oh, clank and clink and hissing steam
Oh-oh, tick-tock-tick
Final Chorus
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Where the rusty clockwork calls
Crank your bones and turn the key
Every ghost is made of steel
Welcome to the spooky steam ball
Won't you waltz with me
Outro
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Clank-clink, tick-tock and hiss
Oh-oh, clank and clink and hissing steam
Oh-oh, tick-tock-tick this Halloween!
(Laughter)
