LYRICS
I went to the Café Zanzibar to see the zombies dance
While a spook spoke to a Sasquatch; Headless Horseman took no chance
He just waltzed right over to the witches and asked one for their hand
The Vampy Vampires were a batty bugle band.
No one boogies better than a boogeyman, you see
No one does the twist quite like a disembodied Swede
Elvis rocked out like he was still alive
The Grim Reaper bounced beside him doing the jive.
It was a freaky frightening festival from the world down below
Where dinosaurs and dragons were dancing toe to toe
It was a big bold bacchanalia of goblins, ghouls, and trolls
A spectacular spooky spectacle of souls
The Creature from the Black Lagoon was also in the room
A siren had her eye on him – I swear I saw her swoon.
The Loch Ness Monster wound herself around Young Frankenstein
Did she want to dance, or did she want to dine?
It was a freaky frightening festival from the world down below
Where dinosaurs and dragons were dancing toe to toe
It was a big bold bacchanalia of goblins, ghouls, and trolls
A spectacular spooky spectacle of souls
They did the skeleton ska
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
They did the black cat cha-cha
Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
The mummy mambo and the lowbrow limbo
How low can you go?
If you go to the Café Zanzibar do not go alone
We might never see your face again in our worldly home
But if your heart can handle this grim and ghostly scene
It’s where you’ll want to spend your Halloween.
It was a freaky frightening festival from the world down below
Where dinosaurs and dragons were dancing toe to toe
It was a big bold bacchanalia of goblins, ghouls, and trolls
A spectacular spooky spectacle of souls
How low can you go?
