[Intro: Spoken] Who says the candy years are over? Get your costume. Grab your petition. The doorbell’s ringing. [Verse 1] Pressed-up suit, paper badge, crooked little grin, We’ve got clipboards full of causes and a candy bucket tin. “Good evening, kind neighbor, we’re here to make a change— Could you spare a little cash? It’s for a worthy campaign.” [Pre-Chorus] We’ve got forms, we’ve got slogans, We’ve got capes over our coats. You can trust us with your pennies— We wrote that down in bold. [Chorus] Adults can dress up, adults can roam, Knock on the door and bring the whole crew home. “Cash for the cause!”—we’ll give you our word, Then we skip down the path and you’ll hear this absurd: Oops, we tricked you! That cash is our stash! Grown-up trick-or-treat—make it rain candy and cash! [Verse 2] One’s a senator, one’s a mayor, one’s a mystery man, We’ve got big campaign promises and a half-baked plan. “We’ll put it to good use!”—we say with a bow, Then we’re sorting out the loot by the porch light now. [Pre-Chorus] No age limit on a costume, No retirement from a treat. Put a monster mask on Monday, Put a petition on the street. [Chorus] Adults can dress up, adults can roam, Knock on the door and bring the whole crew home. “Cash for the cause!”—we’ll give you our word, Then we skip down the path and you’ll hear this absurd: Oops, we tricked you! That cash is our stash! Grown-up trick-or-treat—make it rain candy and cash! [Bridge: Spoken, then shouted] Wait—what was the cause again? Costumes? Candy? A suspiciously large bowl of snacks? All of the above! [Final Chorus] Adults can dress up, adults can roam, Knock on the door like you still own the home. “Cash for the cause!”—we’ll give you our word, Then we skip down the path and you’ll hear this absurd: Oops, we tricked you! That cash is our stash! Grown-up trick-or-treat—make it rain candy and cash! [Outro] Petition signed! Bucket full! Happy Halloween, you beautiful fools!
