And gentlemen, do you realize how this holiday came about? When it all started, why it exists? Well, we're about to tell you. It ain't no fairy tale, but it's grim. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Once upon a time, even along the go, Man's courage was high, but his spirit was low. People grew tired of all work and no plane They felt the need of a jolly holiday Then along came Christmas, along came Easter, along came 4th of July Then along came a man by the name of Berlin
Who took every holiday that ever has been He wrote about Christmas He wrote about Easter He wrote about the 4th of July His mind was fertile and his pen was keen But he never wrote a word about Halloween Jackaland in his hat, pulls a high in the sky Gives a darn if your face is false
Jump on your boot, like a witch Go and toss all your gloom in the ditch Go out on the street for a trick or a treat You're a sense of strike and grit I'll be a longer hop Make it a bright Halloween May scare the buttons right off your spats We'll now go dramatic with ghosts from the attic
And make it a bright Halloween
