• ¡Es Halloween! ¡Es Halloween!
  La luna está llena y brillante
  Y veremos lo que no se puede ver
  En cualquier otra noche.
  Esqueletos, fantasmas y demonios,
  Duendes sonrientes batiéndose en duelo
  Hombres lobo saliendo de sus tumbas,
  Brujas en sus escobas mágicas
  En máscaras y vestidos rondamos por la calle
  Y llamamos a las puertas para pedir caramelos
  Esta noche somos el rey y la reina,
  Porque esta noche es Halloween.
