Grim Grinning Ghosts

 (also known as The Haunted Mansion Song)

From Disneyland's Haunted Mansion

When the crypt door creaks and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a swinging 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 come out to socialize

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

If you would like to join our family
Then this simple rule is supposed to be
Mortals they atone for me
Rest in peace, their haunting plea
So please hurry back, we would like your company
