Text: Barenaked Ladies. Grim Grinning Ghosts.

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a screaming wake
Happy haunts materialize and begin to vocalize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise, they pretend to terrorize
Grim grinning ghosts, come out to socialize

As the moon climbs high over dead Oak Tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes, start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out socialize

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of every size

Grim grinning ghosts, come out to socialize
Grim grinning ghosts, come out
Grim grinning ghosts, come out
