[whispering voices]
Step right up!
[clowns spooky laughing]
Hahahahahahaha
[Verse 1]
Step right up through the rusted gates
Past the graveyard fog and the carnival snakes
Hear the calliope crying through the cold night air
Every nightmare ever born is waiting for you there
The midway glows with a sickly light
Where the strange come alive every Halloween night
[Chorus]
City of Halloween Presents
Come and see what lurks inside
City of Halloween Presents
Where the freaks and monsters hide
From the shadows to the spotlight glow
There’s a thousand ways to lose your soul
City of Halloween Presents
Welcome to the greatest horror show
[Verse 2 – KONG]
See Kong standing twenty stories high
Red eyes burning beneath the moonlit sky
His thunder shakes the midway ground
One mighty roar and the screams ring out
Steel chains rattle but they won’t hold long
Nobody dares get too close to Kong
[Verse 3 – Frog Boy]
Down by the swamp in a tank of green
Lives the strangest thing you’ve ever seen
Slimy skin and eyes so wide
Half boy, half amphibian creature inside
He croaks your name when the lights burn low
Nobody knows where Frog Boy goes
[Verse 4 – The Man-Eating Rooster]
Hear the crow of the beast at dawn
Bronze beak gleaming and his spurs drawn
Teal feathers shining like a haunted flame
Every farmer around here knows his name
If he sets his eyes on you, you’d better run
’Cause the Man-Eating Rooster fears no one
[Verse 5 – The Carnival Clowns]
Painted smiles stretched ear to ear
Laughing loud while they spread their fear
Big red noses and black-ringed eyes
You never know which one’s in disguise
They dance and grin beneath the striped tent
The kind of clowns that make grown men repent
[Verse 6 – The Bearded Lady]
A queen of mystery beneath the lights
Wearing velvet black and satin white
Her silver beard flows to her waist below
And her secrets are things no one should know
She reads your fortune with a knowing smile
Then leaves you wondering for quite a while
[Verse 7 – The Wolf Man]
When the full moon rises over the fair
You can hear his growl rolling through the air
Fangs like daggers and eyes of gold
A curse a hundred years old
He stalks the shadows where the lanterns dim
Pray the moon doesn’t call to him
[Verse 8 – World’s Strongest Man]
Step right up and witness the sight
A giant built like a mountain of might
Breaking chains and bending steel bars
Lifting wagons like toy cars
The World’s Strongest Man stands proud and tall
A living legend feared by all
[Final Chorus]
City of Halloween Presents
Every wonder, every fear
City of Halloween Presents
The strangest show you’ll find all year
From Kong’s roar to the Wolf Man’s howl
From painted clowns to the rooster foul
City of Halloween Presents
The greatest freak show ever found
[Outro]
The lights burn low…
The fog rolls in…
The gates close slowly…
Until next Halloween…City of Halloween Presents.
