A dead man was following me through the street
Looking for flesh and organs to eat
I ran so fast I bumped into a ghost
For a spectral being, he was hard as a wall, almost
A witch cackled as I ran by
So frightened I thought that I might cry
I thought I should hide, to say the least
But instead I encountered a hairy beast
I spied a clown standing in the street
He wasn't the type that I wanted to meet
There was a man sitting on a car hood
But when I saw his fangs I knew he was up to no good
Finally, I reached my door
Good thing, because I couldn't take much more
As I stripped off my princess dress
My mom told me that I looked a mess
I told her about everything I had seen
I never saw anything that wasn't mean
My mom just laughed as I finished my tale
She didn't believe me – I knew I would fail
Apparently I hadn't conveyed my fright
About all I encountered on Halloween night
