Time to dress up... and let somebody down.
Speaker A
Oh, the horror! Pumpkin teeth and plastic claws, time to shock the neighbors' jaws.
Speaker A
Pick a wig and pick a face, put your dignity someplace safe!
Speaker A
Cat demon, fox demon, take your pick.
Speaker A
Angel demon... now that's a trick!
Speaker A
Horns and a halo, tail tucked tight, playing both sides of the afterlife!
Speaker A
A vampire bunny, a squid-hair queen, the cutest little pair you've seen.
Speaker A
A skeleton in Sunday best... wait... that's just how he normally gets dressed.
Speaker A
Every neckline, every hat, someone picks a fight with that.
Speaker A
Clutch your pearls, open that door!
Speaker A
It's just dress-up, darling. Pick your jaw off the floor.
Speaker A
It's not, not, not that serious! Seriously!
Speaker A
Whyyyyyy so furious? Curious!
Speaker A
Dress up, laugh, let people play, save that sermon for another day!
Speaker A
It's just a suit, some ears, a tail.
Speaker A
Take a breath and just exhale!
Speaker A
Have a laugh! Have some fun!
Speaker A
I'm telling you... when all is said and done...
Speaker A
It's not, not, not that serious! Not that serious!
Speaker A
Whyyyy so furious? Curious!

Just let go, at least for a night, and enjooooy the fright!

A monkey Viking, axe held high, a ghost pirate was floating by.
Speaker A
Kimono... sari... charro suit, here comes someone with a dispute!
Speaker A
A robot maid in frills and chrome, programmed to judge your filthy home.
Speaker A
A fox in scrubs, a lynx in white, now the hems are causing fright!
Speaker A
Indecent! Skirt too short! File a report! Appropriation! Violation! You need education!
Speaker A
No need for essays, no need for prayers, just because of what she wears.
Speaker A
Different creeds, the same refrain: "It hurts my feelings, so I'll complain!"
Speaker A
And after all that... you're probably just fat.
