Don't you know that late some Halloween, they'll come a'knockin' at your door.

Song Description

Don't you know that late some Halloween, they'll come a'knockin' at your door.

Lyrics

1. They come out of the graveyards,
They come from underneath your bed.
The come creepin' out of closets;
they come crawling from of your head.

They keep comin' on in legions,
They come with tricks and treats galore..
And don't you know that
Late some Halloween
they'll come a-knockin' at your door.


2. First comes that distant thunder;
feels like you're running in a dream.
Then you taste that sticky terror;
just before you try to scream.

They are so tragically delightful;
With all their blood and guts and gore.
And don't you know that
Late some Halloween
they'll come a-knockin' at your door.


Refrain
Have a Happy Halloween,
It's a scary, merry scene.
haunted by Frankenstein, and Dracula
stalked by cannibals and queens.
Ghastly, grim, those hungry spirits wander evermore.
And don't you know that
Late some Halloween
they'll come a-knockin' at your door.

3.
I looked out of the peephole:
a wolfman with a bloody sack.
Says, "Happy hallowed evening,"
"Oh, I brought a little snack."

I says, "Go back where you came from."
"Don't come howlin' here no more!"
He says: "Now don't you know that
Late some Halloween
they'll come a-knockin' at your door."

4.
You can hide under the covers;
you can hide under the bed.
If you live to see the morning,
you may still wish that you are dead.

A stolen kiss in silence
seals the deal for evermore.
And don't you know that
Late some Halloween
they'll come a-knockin' at your door.
