Knock, Knock — Who’s There to Haunt?

[Verse 1] The streets are still, the fog rolls deep, The shadows crawl while children sleep. A whisper hums beneath the moon, The clock strikes twelve — it’s coming soon. Black cats purr and candles sway, The ghosts come out to laugh and play. From graveyard gates, a chorus calls: “Come out, come out — the darkness falls!” ✦ [Chorus, Children voices, spooky] 🎵 Knock, knock — who’s there to haunt? Witches dance and spirits taunt! Knock, knock — don’t turn away, Or ghosts will come with you to play! 🎵 ✦ [Verse 2] An apple floats, the water’s cold, A story whispered, dark and old. The jack-o’-lantern grins so wide, A secret flickers deep inside. The wind says “hush,” the moon looks down, The bats take flight above the town. Behind the tree, a voice sings low: “We’ve come alive — now here we go!” ✦ [Chorus, Louder, joyful yet eerie] 🎵 Knock, knock — who’s there to haunt? Witches dance and spirits taunt! Knock, knock — don’t turn away, Or ghosts will come with you to play! 🎵 ✦ [Bridge, Whispered, echoing children’s chant] “One step... two step... round we creep, Those who linger never sleep. Trick or treat, the night’s begun, Hide your soul — the dead have fun.” ✦ [Final Chorus, with organ & eerie laughter] 🎵 Knock, knock — who’s there to haunt? The moonlight laughs, the stars all flaunt! Knock, knock — open the door, ‘Cause we’re the ghosts you can’t ignore! 🎵
