Grim Grinning Ghosts (the Haunted Mansion Theme) Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

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 o'er 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 

Photos 

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
