Do They Know It's Halloween?

Once a year on a spooky night

It's Hallowe'en, and what a fright!

Young boys and ghouls, in ghoulish disguise

They cover their skin, conceal their eyes

A grave mistake to be out

When the ghosts are about

It's Hallowe'en... our time to be afraid

In the rest of the world, they don't observe

This bash which has become our biggest concern

Latvia, Laos, Chad, Peru

We need their help, or else we're through

They don't know the fear we endure once a year

All Hallow's Eve, we are afraid!

Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?

(Interlude)

It's October 31st, could it get any worse?

Children on streets, begging for treats

Drowning in a bucket of apples bobbing

Parents are hiding, our babies are sobbing

The undead have returned

They're freaking us out

Dragging us down, so we shout:

"Help us! Help us! Save our souls!"

We're dying of fear, and they don't even know it

They think we've got it all

What we need is a team

To help us forget, forget Hallowe'en

"Fools! You think you can stop Hallowe'en?"

"The world can't hear your useless plea!"

"It's too late! Our orange and black plague will soon consume them all!"

"Then everyone will understand the true meaning of Hallowe'en..."

"Pure terror!"

We're all fed up, we've had enough

Enough, enough, enough, enough!

Trick!

Caramel apples will make you sick

Treat!

And all those sweets will rot your teeth

Ouija board, ouija board (spell this!)

We don't want you here no more

The writing's on the tombstone

Beneath the willow tree

No more razorblades in our kids' candy

Dead dogs and broomsticks

Pumpkins and flames

We're ending this night, ending the shame!

Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?
