It’s Halloween (Howl-O-Ween) lyrics

Something wicked in the air its
Terrifying bound to scare ya
Try to fall asleep I dare ya
Better keep one eye open
Creepy crawlies waking up and
All the zombies come a running
Skeletons are up to something
And that’s just how you know

Chorus
It’s Howl-O-Ween
It’s Howl-O-Ween
You make me wanna scream
That’s just how you know it’s Howl-O-Ween

Ghosts start dusting off the sheets and
Vampires sharpen their teeths when
They hear werewolves get to howlin
And the monsters all come out oh
Goosebumps and bumps in the night and
Thrilling chills all up your spine when
Pumpkins all start looking frightened
That’s just how you know

Chorus
It’s Howl-O-Ween
It’s Howl-O-Ween
You make me wanna scream
That’s just how you know it’s Howl-O-Ween

It’s Howl-O-Ween
It’s Howl-O-Ween
You make me wanna scream
That’s just how you
That’s just how you
Know it’s Howl-O-Ween
