Spooky Hour

[Verse] Down the crooked lane where the pumpkins grin

and the garden gates all groan

something stirs beneath the leaf-piled lawn

a knocking in the bone

The children lock their bedroom doors

and pull the blankets tight

for the thing that taps the windowpane

has come to say goodnight

[Pre-Chorus] So bolt the latch and cross your heart

and pray the candle holds

for the hour when the graveyard bells

begin to toll

[Chorus] Everybody hide your eyes

the spooky hour has arrived

Cover up your sleepy heads

the skeletons are out of bed

Everybody hide your eyes

tonight the frightful come alive

[Post-Chorus] Clack clack rattle and a moan

(Clack clack rattle and a moan)

Creep creep shuffle to your home

(Creep creep shuffle to your home)

[Verse] Now the mayor wrings his bony hands

and the townsfolk clutch their brooms

while a shadow climbs the chimney brick

and slithers through the rooms

It rearranges all the chairs

it turns the portraits round

and hides a spider in your shoe

without a single sound

[Pre-Chorus] So say a prayer and latch the door

and hold your sister near

for the ghastly guests are gathering

my dear

[Chorus] Everybody hide your eyes

the spooky hour has arrived

Cover up your sleepy heads

the skeletons are out of bed

Everybody hide your eyes

tonight the frightful come alive

[Post-Chorus] Clack clack rattle and a moan

(Clack clack rattle and a moan)

Creep creep shuffle to your home

(Creep creep shuffle to your home)

[Bridge] We are the grin beneath the stairs

the giggle in the hall

We are the reason little ones

won't answer when you call

We are the creak you can't explain

the chill that will not pass

We came to fill your quiet house

with something that will last

[Chorus] Everybody hide your eyes

the spooky hour has arrived

Cover up your sleepy heads

the skeletons are out of bed

Everybody hide your eyes

tonight the frightful come alive

[Post-Chorus] Clack clack rattle and a moan

(Clack clack rattle and a moan)

Creep creep shuffle to your home

(Creep creep shuffle to your home)

Hide your eyes

Hide your eyes

Because tonight

The frightful come alive!

(wahaha)
