- Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
- [Siamese Shadow]
- Come with us and you will see
- This, our town of Halloween
- [Pumpkin Patch Chorus]
- This is Halloween, this is Halloween
- Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
- [Ghosts]
- This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
- Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
- It's our town, everybody scream
- In this town of Halloween
- [Creature Under the Bed]
- I am the one hiding under your bed
- Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
- [Creature Under the Stairs]
- I am the one hiding under yours stairs
- Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
- [Corpse Chorus]

- In this town we call home
- Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
- [Mayor]
- In this town, don't we love it now?
- Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
- [Corpse Chorus]
- Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
- Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll...
- [Harlequin Demon, Werewolf & Melting Man]
- Scream! This is Halloween
- Red 'n' black, slimy green
- [Werewolf]
- Aren't you scared?
- [Witches]
- Well, that's just fine
- Say it once, say it twice
- Take a chance and roll the dice
- Ride with the moon in the dead of night
- [Hanging Tree]
- Everybody scream, everybody scream
- [Hanged Skeleton Men]
- In our town of Halloween!
- [Clown]
- I am the clown with the tear-away face
- Here in a flash and gone without a trace
- [Invisible ghost]
- I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
- I am the wind blowing through your hair
- [Oogie Boogie Shadow]
- I am the shadow on the moon at night
- Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
- [Corpse Chorus]
- This is Halloween, this is Halloween
- Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
