Lyrics
Pick up to six lines to make a card.
Intro: CORPSE
When hinges creak in doorless chambers
And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls
Whenever candle lights flicker where the air is deathly still
That is the time when ghosts are present
Practicing their terror with ghoulish delight
Verse 1
When the crypt doors creak
And the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a singing wake
Happy haunts materialize
And begin to vocalize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Verse 2
Now don't close your eyes
And don't try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise
They pretend to terrorize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Verse 3
As the moon climbs high o'er dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out socialize
Verse 4
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size
(Uhuhuhuahahah)
Verse 5
If you would like to join our jamboree
There's a simply rule that's compulsory
Mortals pay a token fee
Rest in peace, the haunting's free
So, hurry back we would your company
Outro: CORPSE
Be sure to bring your death certificate
If you decide to join us
Make final arrangements now
We've been dying to have you
