time is short...soon, they'll hit the hay
they've been served...a million treats today
only misers...don't participate
they'll vandalize their homes

all a-whirl...as they run through town
they're berserk...as they whisk around
they get candy...if they only hound
we serve them snickers and vines

the children get candy...they get wilder (they get wilder)
what a weird night...trick or treat (they get wilder)
yeah, these guys will steal your mailbox...if you cheat

candy...they got on their brains
if you try to stiff 'em...they will show disdain
they're flockin'...to our domain
cause we hand out fancy stuff

they come...on this special day
they want gifts...or hell to pay
and they've made it clear...they'll get their way
or else they'll egg your home

the children get candy...they get wilder (they get wilder)
what a weird night...trick or treat (they get wilder)
yeah, these guys will steal your mailbox...if you cheat

yeah, candy sure does tantalize
its a quest of greed and glory
you can see the fervor in their eyes
when they're near your territory
and if you give 'em baby ruths
then you're sure to have a fan
the candy, kids love best...will be on hand

at night...when the last come 'round
candy sought...but there's none, they've found
they understand...and off, they bound
but plans are underway

they didn't get candy...(they get wilder)
what a cruel guy...blasphemy ! (the get wilder)
and then i...discovered my mailbox...in the tree

the kids all want candy...they get wilder (they get wilder)
and you'd best buy...what they seek (they get wilder)
and now i'll...recover my mailbox...from the tree
