[Intro — Spoken] It was just past midnight When something started scratching at the door… I probably shouldn’t have opened it. But where’s the fun in that? [Verse 1] There was lightning cracking over the house, Something in the basement was getting loud, Then a dead man stumbled up the stairs In a leather jacket like he owned the place. The lights went red, the speakers blew, Somebody screamed, “We got room for two!” Then every grave for a mile around Started opening underground. [Pre-Chorus] The witches brought the bottles, The ghosts brought all their friends, Dracula showed up fashionably late And said, “Let the night begin!” [Chorus] Welcome to the dead man’s party, Everybody’s dying to get in, Skeletons shaking, vampires wasted, Someone tell the werewolves bring a friend. Raise a little hell till the morning comes, Dance like tomorrow never existed— If you’ve got a pulse, We can fix that! Welcome to the dead man’s party! [Post-Chorus] Hey! Hey! Wake the cemetery! Hey! Hey! Things are getting scary! [Verse 2] Frankenstein’s flirting by the bar, The Invisible Man stole somebody’s car, A mummy’s tangled underneath the lights, And the Headless Horseman’s looking for a ride. There’s a zombie DJ killing the beat, Couple demon boys dancing next to me, The neighbors called the cops at two— [Spoken] Yeah… They’re zombies now too. [Pre-Chorus] The floorboards started shaking, The chandeliers went black, Somebody yelled, “The sun is coming!” Dracula yelled— [Spoken] “TURN THAT SHIT BACK!” [Chorus] Welcome to the dead man’s party, Everybody’s dying to get in, Skeletons shaking, vampires wasted, Someone tell the werewolves bring a friend. Raise a little hell till the morning comes, Dance like tomorrow never existed— If you’ve got a pulse, We can fix that! Welcome to the dead man’s party! [Bridge — Spooky Breakdown] One for the witches, Two for the ghosts, Three for the creature Nobody knows. Four for the monsters Under your bed— [Whisper] Five for the boy Who swore he was dead. [Beat Stops] [Spoken] Wait… Did he just wink at me? [BUILD] OH, HELL YEAH! [Final Chorus] WELCOME TO THE DEAD MAN’S PARTY! Kick the coffin, wake the dead! Every freak and every monster Come and lose your damn head! Raise a little hell till the morning comes, We’re gonna haunt this town forever— The living and the dead tonight Are losing it together! WELCOME TO THE DEAD MAN’S PARTY! [Outro] Hey! Hey! Wake the cemetery! Hey! Hey! Things are getting scary! [Spoken] Same time next Halloween?
