I know a story
Bout a kid
And the courageous thing he did
He had a love for Halloween
Moreso than anyone you've seen
And all through his childhood
A sweetheart attitude
Just have fun on Halloween
Is what he always cried
Live and be happy, never mean
The night is short, enjoy the ride
It don't matter if life's a mess
You'll be living fancy-free in fancy dress
So be who you wanna
Do as you please
Become whoever or whatever sets your heart at ease
But just have fun on Halloween
Well, he grew older
But stayed young
Halloween's virtues rolled off his tongue
And though retired from Trick-or-Treat
A bowl out on his porch he filled with sweets
The favorite of his block
To his door, kids would flock
Just have fun on Halloween
Is what he always cried
Live and be happy, never mean
The night is short, enjoy the ride
It don't matter if life's a mess
You'll be living fancy-free in fancy dress
So be who you wanna
Do as you please
Become whoever or whatever sets your heart at ease
But just have fun on Halloween
He met some people
And made friends
But what they truly were that all depends
They ridiculed his Halloween
Said it was childish and too obscene
He wanted to belong
Made a choice he knew was wrong
You won't miss that Halloween
Is what his new friends cried
Don't act foolish, like a teen
You're too mature, get off that ride
We'll show you a better way
Forget your silly kiddie holiday
So be who we tell you
Time to grow up
At first you may not like it, but you better suck it up
And you won't miss that Halloween
Oh, it was tragic
I won't lie
That year he let his Halloween pass by
But in December, he got a call
An invitation to a Yuletide Ball
And how he clenched his jaw
When at the party, this he saw
You won't miss that Halloween
Is what his new friends cried
Don't act foolish, like a teen
You're too mature, get off that ride
But in costumes, not themselves
His friends dressed up like Santa, Snowmen, Sexy Elves
He marched up to Rudolph
Red as a rose
Said, Trick or Treat, you dirty cheat
Then punched him in the nose
Don't ever diss my Halloween
Just have fun on Halloween
Is what he always cried
Live and be happy, never mean
The night is short, enjoy the ride
It don't matter if life's a mess
You'll be living fancy-free in fancy dress
So be who you wanna
Do as you please
Become whoever or whatever sets your heart at ease
But just have fun on Halloween
