[Intro — instrumental only, delicate music box and sparkling celesta, gentle harp glissando, distant castle bells, soft mysterious strings, acoustic guitar enters, playful fiddle introduces the melody] [Verse 1 — female lead, sweet and theatrical, conversational storytelling, gentle flowing 6/8 rhythm, acoustic guitar, pizzicato strings, light fiddle accents] On Halloween, Cinderella led us Past the magic mirror burning bright. Dressed as a fairy godmother, with a silver face, They marched us through the night. I wore a royal ball gown with glass slippers, And packed a golden pumpkin for the sweets. We rode to the Enchanted Kingdom on a pumpkin carriage, To haunt the moonlit streets. [Music becomes mischievous, playful fiddle answers each phrase, slight dramatic pause] A wicked witch waved us over, With a wicked, toothy grin. We tried to curtsy beside the gate, Then someone called us in! [Chorus — bright magical lift, full acoustic country rhythm, sweeping strings, lively fiddle, sparkling celesta, playful and catchy female vocal, light female harmonies] Trick or treat in glass slippers, Come knocking at the door! Something magical, something mysterious— We’re coming back for more! We can handle dragons and wicked queens, We’ll laugh at any fright. [Brief playful instrumental pause before punchline] But a princess kissing a frog? We draw the line! Trick or treat tonight! [Instrumental turnaround — quick fiddle flourish, harp sparkle, mysterious descending violin] [Verse 2 — playful female storytelling, slightly darker atmosphere, sparse acoustic guitar, pizzicato strings, mischievous fiddle fills] First, the Evil Queen answered, Dressed as a royal sorceress in red. We picked treat; got a poisoned candy apple— [Brief silence — exaggerated theatrical reaction] “Off with her head!” we said. [Music resumes with playful rhythmic bounce] Next, Rapunzel wore a wedding gown, With a fire-breathing dragon beneath one arm. We chose trick; got a thunderous royal trumpet blast— [Sudden loud orchestral brass accent, followed by playful chaos] That set off every car alarm! [Chorus — stronger rhythmic pulse, fuller fiddle and strings, energetic female lead, playful backing harmonies] Trick or treat in glass slippers, Come knocking at the door! Something magical, something mysterious— We’re coming back for more! We can handle dragons and wicked queens, We’ll laugh at any fright. [Short dramatic pause] But a princess kissing a frog? We draw the line! Trick or treat tonight! [Instrumental transition — music slows, acoustic guitar fades, low strings emerge, distant clock chimes, enchanted atmosphere turns ominous] [Bridge — intimate female vocal, mysterious and suspenseful, delicate harp, low sustained violin, sparse music-box notes] Then Sleeping Beauty, dressed as a ghostly bride, Stepped out into the light. [Lower, mysterious spoken-sung female voice] “Choose a golden cupcake or a hundred years of sleep! Which will it be tonight?” [Return to melodic female storytelling, gradually building tension] We picked treat; they passed us a golden cupcake, Then pointed at the moon. [Whispered, playful magical incantation] “Now spin!” They chanted, “Bibbidi-bobbidi-BOO!” [Sudden bright fiddle flourish, rhythmic acoustic guitar returns] And the fiddler struck a tune. [Final Chorus — triumphant magical country arrangement, sweeping orchestral strings, lively fiddle, harp flourishes, strong clear female lead, layered feminine harmonies, joyful energy with an eerie undertone] Trick or treat in glass slippers, Come knocking at the door! Something magical, something mysterious— We’re coming back for more! We can handle dragons and wicked queens, We’ll laugh at any fright. [Playful rhythmic stop] But a princess kissing a frog? We draw the line! Trick or treat tonight! [Instrumental break — wild fiddle flourish, swirling strings, accelerating music-box notes] [Sudden complete silence] [OUTRO — THE TWIST] [Female lead becomes quiet and frightened, almost whispered, low cello drone, single haunting music-box notes] Then Cinderella dropped her glass slipper, And we all began to shake. [Deep ominous violin swell, dramatic pause] Beneath it lurked a real wicked witch— That costume wasn’t fake! [Music grows darker, low strings tremble, eerie harp notes, vocal becomes increasingly sinister] My fingertips turned into black crystal, It spread across my skin. [Building tension, descending minor-key strings] That cursed golden cupcake had changed us all— [Complete silence] [Whispered slowly, chilling female voice] The monsters were within! [Final haunting passage — slow 6/8 pulse, eerie fiddle, low female ghostly harmonies, dark enchanted castle atmosphere] Now we haunt the Enchanted Kingdom each Halloween, Come knocking at your door. Give us your royal crowns, and we won’t cast a spell— [Pause — sinister playful whisper] Unless you ask for more! [Outro instrumental — music box slows and detunes, distant
