Halloween Is Tom T. Hall

[Verse 1]
How would you like to be scared right out of your socks?
Whether or not you're wearing socks
How would you like to be frightened out of your room?
With some big scary something out of the gloom

[Chorus]
That’s what Halloween is, it's a frightening time
Ghosts and goblins a-running around and spooking you out of your mind
Sometimes, I get dressed up and I go frighten them where they live
Trick or treat, that's what Halloween is

[Verse 2]
One time, I saw a ghost on top of my barn
I was alarmed, he was on my barn
I ran right up and said, "Ghost, trick or treat"
And I almost scared that ghost right out of his sheet

[Chorus]
And that’s what Halloween is, it's a frightening time
Ghosts and goblins a-running around and spooking you out of your mind
Sometimes, I get dressed up and I go frighten them where they live
I say, "Trick or treat", that's what Halloween is

[Verse 3]
When Halloween comes, we're gonna make people scream
We're gonna be ugly and we're gonna be mean
We're gonna go trick-or-treating every chance
And we'll frighten all of our neighbors out of their pants
