[Intro – Spoken] The cemetery gates are open! Let the dancing begin! [Verse 1] There's Dracula in a dinner suit, And the Wolfman in his dancing boots. Frankenstein's got a brand-new tie, And the bats are flying ten feet high. The zombies shuffle through the hall, The mummies answer to the call, And the devil's standing by the band, With a rock-and-roll guitar in his hand! [Chorus] It's the midnight monster ball! Come one, come all, come all! Raise the dead and shake the floor, We ain't going home till half past four! It's the midnight monster ball! Hear those skeletons call! When the moon shines bright and the shadows crawl, Everybody's welcome at the monster ball! [Verse 2] The witches are brewing a midnight stew, The ghosts are dancing in a row of two. The headless horseman lost his hat, And a vampire's arguing with the cat. The coffin lids are flying wide, The zombies have got the whole band on their side. The organ's screaming, the drums are loud, And the dead are dancing with the living crowd! [Chorus] It's the midnight monster ball! Come one, come all, come all! Raise the dead and shake the floor, We ain't going home till half past four! It's the midnight monster ball! Hear those skeletons call! When the moon shines bright and the shadows crawl, Everybody's welcome at the monster ball! [Instrumental – Rockabilly guitar solo, piano and double bass] [Bridge – Spoken] The living on the left! The dead on the right! Now everybody do the monster tonight! [Final Chorus – Full Gang Vocals] It's the midnight monster ball! The biggest bash of them all! Dance till the cemetery walls all fall, We're having the time of our lives at the monster ball! [Outro] One last dance! One last scream! See you next Halloween! [End – Guitar slide and laughter]
