[Intro | industrial stomp | heavy gritty vocal] Lights go red— Floor goes black— Something wicked's coming... And it ain't going back. [Verse 1 | gritty rhythmic chest voice] Jack-o’-lantern burning by the door, Black cat creeping underneath the moon, Skeleton boots start pounding on the floor, While a Vampire whistles out of tune. [Pre-Chorus | rising mechanical groove] There's a Ghost in the mirror calling my name, A Witch on the table keeping the beat, Everybody came here looking for a game, Now the dead got everybody moving their feet. [Chorus | HUGE dance-metal chant] DEAD MAN DANCING! STOMP—STOMP—SHAKE THAT GROUND! DEAD MAN DANCING! TURN THAT MONSTER MUSIC LOUD! Werewolf howling while the whole room spins, Zombie stomping underneath the light, Come on, little monster—let the madness begin, We're gonna shake this haunted house tonight! [Verse 2 | dirty bass + guitar groove] Spider came crawling down the wall, Bat flew laughing through the haze, Monster shadows stretching ten feet tall, While the graveyard started up a craze. [Pre-Chorus | building harder] That Vampire's grinning, showing every tooth, The Skeleton's shaking like a broken machine, The Witch starts dancing on top of the booth, And the Zombie's doing moves you've never seen. [Chorus | full industrial dance-metal] DEAD MAN DANCING! STOMP—STOMP—SHAKE THAT GROUND! DEAD MAN DANCING! TURN THAT MONSTER MUSIC LOUD! Werewolf howling while the whole room spins, Zombie stomping underneath the light, Come on, little monster—let the madness begin, We're gonna shake this haunted house tonight! [Breakdown | mechanical half-time stomp] LEFT FOOT— DEAD FOOT— DRAG IT THROUGH THE ROOM! RIGHT FOOT— LIGHTS OUT— MAKE A LITTLE DOOM! STOMP! STOMP! Everybody move! STOMP! STOMP! LET THE MONSTERS THROUGH! [Final Chorus | maximum energy] DEAD MAN DANCING! STOMP—STOMP—SHAKE THAT GROUND! DEAD MAN DANCING! TURN THAT MONSTER MUSIC LOUD! Werewolf howling while the whole room spins, Zombie stomping underneath the light, Come on, little monster—let the madness begin, WE'RE GONNA SHAKE THIS HAUNTED HOUSE TONIGHT! [Outro | instruments dropping away] Dead man— Dancing... One more— STOMP! [DEAD STOP]
