I get you have a fervour
For spooky stuff
But you need patience
'Cause you drive me nuts

You're longin' for the time when dead things will rise
But, buddy, it ain't closer to October
You want the bats to fly, I get that and it's fine
But, buddy, it ain't closer to October

Wishin' that you would just shut up
With the lyrics that you shout
As if the Monster Mash ad infinitum, yeah-eah
Moves time closer, closer a-to that month

You're longin' for the time when all the ghosts fly
But, buddy, it ain't closer to October
You want long fangs to bite, instead you'll have to bide
'Cause buddy, it ain't closer to October

Ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh, ooh-hoo-ooh
Ooh, ooh-hoo

You're longin' for the time when the werewolves bite
Buddy, it ain't closer to October
You want ol' Frankenstein's Monster to lurch, ain't time
'Cause buddy, it ain't closer to October
You're longin' for the time when witches will fly
But, buddy, it ain't closer to October
You want to scream so high but that wail needs to die
'Cause buddy, it ain't closer to October (closer, closer, closer)
You're longin' for the time when skeletons rise
But, buddy, it ain't closer to October
You want chills down your spine but it's not pumpkin time
'Cause buddy, it ain't closer to October (closer, closer, closer, oh-oh)
I too long for that time (I'm not just a jerk) but I know to bide (patience always works)
Buddy, it ain't closer to October (closer)
Closer (closer, closer, closer)
