Grim Grinning Ghosts

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

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

As the moon climbs high o'er dead oak tree
Spooks them out for the midnight spree
Restless pose, imperial eyes
Rise up spooks of every size
Grim grinning ghosts come out socialize

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

When the hinges creak and doors change
And strange and frightening sounds echo through the hall
Whenever candlelights flicker with the air of death and sting
That is the time when ghosts are present
Practicing their terror, cruelest delight
Our journey begins here in this gallery
Where you see paintings of some of our guests
As they appeared in their corruptible mortal state
Is this haunted room actually stretching?

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
A secret place where spirits dwell
Creepy creeps with weary eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

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
