John McCutcheon and Si Kahn

　　On the last day of October

　　When the air is turning cold

　　Strange things happen in our neighborhood

　　Young people turn into old

　　Old folks turn into goblins

　　Boys and girls turn into bums

　　We just turned into your driveway

　　Halloween, here we come

　　Chorus:

　　Just one night, I'm no one you'll recognize

　　Just one night, I'm no one you'll know

　　Just one night, I'm allowed to fantasize

　　Halloween, here we go!

　　Everyone tries to be scary

　　Nobody tries to be scared

　　Everybody's fixin' to do a little trickin'

　　And nobody's gonna be spared

　　There's apple bobbin' down in the basement

　　Candy and there's treats at the door

　　Where the dead meet the living

　　and the taking meets the giving

　　Nothing is the same anymore

　　Chorus

　　On Halloween everything's possible

　　On Halloween the false is true

　　On Halloween it's always a scream

　　To see what ordinary people might do

　　Tonight the world's turned upside down

　　Nothing's like it was in the light

　　I crawl, I cry, I swoop, I fly

　　And I gotta do it all tonight
