[Intro]
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Some things, they go bump in the night

[Verse 1]
It was getting cold in Ohio
Grade four had just begun
I was coloring cartoon bats
Silhouetted by the setting sun
Something happened to me
No, I'll never be free
Of the Halloween blues

[Chorus]
The leaves are changing color
The days are getting shorter and cooler
Something happened to me
No, I'll never be free
There's a face in the tree
It's the Halloween blues

[Verse 2]
When I was younger, I was Psalty the Singing Songbook
Masquerading down the street
My oversized cardboard box was much too much for me to take
Oh, it was tricky, tricky getting treats
Something happened to me
No, I'll never be free
There's a face in the tree
Ooh-wee, it's the Halloween blues
[Chorus]
The leaves are changing color
(Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum
Some things, they go bump in the night)
The days are getting shorter and cooler
(Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum)
Something happened to me
No, I'll never be free
There's a face in the tree, ooh-wee
Something happened to me
No, I'll never be free
There's a face in the tree
It's the Halloween blues
It's the Halloween blues

[Outro]
The leaves are changing color
