Okay, this is right from the book, so it should be pretty accurate.
From the 1993 film 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', by Tim Burton. If you haven't seen
GO AND DO IT NOW!! Jack's amazing...
Well, this is the first song from the film,and it's pretty hardcore; flatted 5ths and
accidentals all over the place - good luck! (This chord list scared me to write out, and I
tend to scare easy...)

Okay, enough on the chords, I'm hearing you scream. Well, maybe not, but you get the drift...
On with the song!
moderately
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see:
This our town of Hallowe'en!
This is Hallowe'en, this is Hallowe'en!
Pumpkins screaming in the dead of night!
This is Hallowe'en, this is Hallowe'en!
Trick or treat, til the neighbours gunna die of fright.
It's our town - Everybody scream
In this town of Hallowe'en!
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp, and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes, and spiders in my hair!
This is Hallowe'en, This is Hallowe'en
Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en Hallowe'en!
In this town, we call home,
everyone hail to the pumpkin song!
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise,
'Round that corner, man,
Hiding in the trash can,
Something's waiting now to pounce,
and how you'll scream!
This is Hallowe'en,
Red and black and slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well... that's just fine!
Say it once, say it twice,
Take a chance, Roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Every body scream, everybody scream,
In our town of Hallowe'en!
I am the clown with the tear away face
Here in a flash, and gone without a trace
I am the who, when you call 'who's there?'
I am the wind running through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night,
filling your dreams to the brim with fright!
This is Hallowe'en, this is Hallowe'en!
Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en!
(goes with the -y-)
Tender lumplings everywhere,
Life's no fun, without a good scare
That's our job but we're not mean,
In our town of Hallowe'en
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everyone's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
and scream like a banshee make you jump out of your skin!
This is Hallowe'en, won't you please
make way for a very special guy?
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the pumpkin king
This is Hallowe'en, This is Hallowe'en
Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en Hallowe'en!
In this town, we call home

Everyone hail to the pumpkin song.
(it divides into parts so i'm taking the tune, but you only need to fill in the gaps, by
to the track,or just going la, or Hallowe'en, at the right moment... :P)
