Little Monsters Trick-or-Treat

[Verse 1]
You pin a paper bat above the kitchen door
We carve crooked grins and save the seeds in bowls
Your cape keeps catching on the garden gate
You laugh and say, “The monster’s running late”

We trade our names for witches, ghosts, and kings
A cardboard crown, a cape made out of strings
Then hear the first small footsteps on the stair
And spill a handful of wrapped sweets everywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
The porch is bright with pumpkin faces
Our little crew takes over the places

[Chorus]
Halloween, come on in!
We’ve got candy, crooked grins
Knock once, knock twice, let the whole block know
We’re a pack of little monsters putting on a show
Halloween, what a night!
Paper moons and porch lights
Every silly ghost and goblin gets a treat
And every neighbor saves a sweet for me

[Verse 2]
Your mummy wrap comes loose around your shoe
A tiny dragon asks what dragons do
You roar so loud the dog goes racing by
Then bow like royalty beneath the porch sign

At Mrs. Lee’s, the candy bowl is full
She tells the tale of a black cat named McGull
We tuck one caramel inside each sleeve
And promise we’ll be back next Halloween

[Pre-Chorus]
The porch is bright with pumpkin faces
Our little crew takes over the places

[Chorus]
Halloween, come on in!
We’ve got candy, crooked grins
Knock once, knock twice, let the whole block know
We’re a pack of little monsters putting on a show
Halloween, what a night!
Paper moons and porch lights
Every silly ghost and goblin gets a treat
And every neighbor saves a sweet for me

[Breakdown]
One more door!
One more street!
Save the chocolate!
Count the treats!

[Bridge]
When the last porch candle disappears
We spread our treasure on the stairs
You trade a cherry chew for one blue sweet
Then split the biggest bar in two with me

[Final Chorus]
Halloween, come on in!
We’ve got candy, crooked grins
Knock once, knock twice, let the whole block know
We’re a pack of little monsters putting on a show
Halloween, what a night!
Costume capes and porch lights
Every silly ghost and goblin gets a treat
And every neighbor saves a sweet for me

[Outro]
Your paper bat swings by the kitchen door
We’ll keep the pumpkin smiling one night more
