[Verse 1] Jack-o'-lantern sitting on the porch Thought he was an animatronic Till I heard his voice Head hollow, candle flickering Eyes with an uncanny glow He said, “What candy do you have? I want it now! Hand it over if you wanna save your life!” [Chorus] Give me all your candy Give it to me now Hershey’s bars, Snickers, gummy bears and Skittles But no Tootsie Rolls, you freaking clown! [Verse 2] I stood frozen, trick-or-treater in the night He leaned in closer, such a menacing sight Wind picked up, leaves rattled in the trees He licked his lips: “Don’t you dare appease My hunger with those stale old butterscotch I’m after chocolate, the good stuff—watch!” His grin stretched wider, orange toothy sneer “This ain’t no game, kid. Make your choices clear.” [Chorus] Give me all your candy Give it to me now Hershey’s bars, Snickers, gummy bears and Skittles But no Tootsie Rolls, you freaking clown! [Verse 3] I fumbled in my bag, my fingers numb and cold A Milky Way, a Kit Kat, stories yet untold He snatched them quick, a blur of pumpkin rind “More, more!” he cackled, leaving doubt behind This wasn’t just for fun, no childish Halloween This jack-o’-lantern was the scariest I’d seen He meant every sugary demand A candy monster ruling this front yard land [Chorus] Give me all your candy Give it to me now Hershey’s bars, Snickers, gummy bears and Skittles But no Tootsie Rolls, you freaking clown! [Bridge] Porch light flickered, shadows stretched and deep My heart pounded, secrets I couldn’t keep This glowing gourd, a terror in the night Demanding tribute with all his eerie might No ordinary pumpkin, that much I could tell He’d cast a spooky, candy-craving spell My pillowcase felt lighter, my hopes began to fade This trick-or-treating nightmare—a memory unmade [Final Chorus] Give me all your candy Give it to me now Hershey’s bars, Snickers, gummy bears and Skittles But no Tootsie Rolls, you freaking clown!
