Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat for Halloween

Better give a treat that's good to eat
If you wanna keep life serene

Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat the whole night through

Little scallywags with fiendish gags
Can make it tough on you

So when Ghosts and Goblins by the score
Ring the bell on your front door
Better not be stingy or your nightmares will come true

Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat for Halloween

When pumpkin shells cast feeble spells
Your little white house turns green
Your little white house turns green
Your little white house turns green

Every post, is a ghost
If you got a witch's brew
and if you want your gate to circulate
(we can do that too)

Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat for Halloween

When Ghosts and Goblins by the score
Ring the bell on your front door
You better not be stingy or your nightmares will come true

So when Ghosts and Goblins by the score
Ring the bell or pound your door
Better not be stingy or your nightmares will come true

BOO!

<poem> Karen and Cubby: Trick or treat Trick or treat Trick or treat for Halloween Better treat us right Or overnight Your little white house turns green

Trick or treat Trick or treat Or we'll raise an awful fuss If you're smart you'll part with something sweet Ya better be sweet to us

Karen: We can yell (Cubby: We can yell) Or ring your bell (Cubby: Or ring your bell) Keep you up the whole night through

Cubby: And if you want your gate to circulate

Karen and Cubby: We can do that, too Trick or treat (trick or treat) Trick or treat (trick or treat) Trick or treat for Halloween Better latch onto the gag or else

Karen: Find the cookie bag or else

Cubby: Divvy up the swag or else

Karen and Cubby: Your nightmares will come true!

Cubby: Trick or treat, lady?

Karen: Tip over your garbage, madam?
