[Intro – guitar twang + “shooby-doo-wah” backing vocals] Dans la nuit — les ombres dansent, Des citrouilles aux yeux qui brillent. Step by step, in the dark, The forest whispers, leaves their mark. [Chorus – doo-wop backing + Marlow lead] Bats in the sky, bats in my hair, Chauves-souris partout, they’re everywhere! Laugh and scream, it’s Halloween, Un jeu d’enfants, un drôle de frisson! 🎃 [Verse – rockabilly swing, upright bass groove] Les fantômes courent dans le vent, Un loup hurle au loin, méchant! But we laugh, and we hide, With our masks, side by side. [Chorus – full doo-wop backing, claps] Bats in the sky, bats in my hair, Chauves-souris partout, they’re everywhere! Laugh and scream, it’s Halloween, Un jeu d’enfants, un drôle de frisson! [Bridge – guitar solo with slapback echo, backing “ooh-wah, ooh-wah”] [Final Chorus – big retro party feel, kids shouting along] Bats in the sky, bats in my hair, Chauves-souris partout, they’re everywhere! Laugh and scream, it’s Halloween, Un jeu d’enfants, un drôle de frisson! [Outro – fade with “shooby-doo, shooby-doo-wah” + guitar twang]
