V1:
Yeah, yeah, it's late October and the moon shines bright
A proper young lady walks the street at night /
She pulls her baby blue scarf close against the cold
A stranger says, "Baby, may I be so bold"
V2:
I see your straight-laced outfit and your school marm bun
But down below your blood is boiling for fun
You read trash romances to excite your thoughts
But follow me baby, I’ll show you hot
There’s a party starting, baby don't be late
Yeah, down at the club called Hades' Gate
CHORUS:
Yeah, it's fright night baby, all the ghosts dance close
It's fright night baby, every zombie knows
It's where ghouls that rate take their Halloween date
It's Fright night, yeah, welcome to Hades Gate
V3:
Yeah, yeah, her eyes took in all the blacks and reds
She watched them dance, the not-quite-dead
She shook her hips to the devil’s beat
Fantastic, frenzied feeling the heat
But baby, baby, it’s getting late
Don’t tempt fate at Hades' Gate
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
V4:
She thought for a moment, twisting a curl
His eyes promised more than some good, little girl
Her collar felt tight, her scarf too snug
So off they came with a wicked shrug]
There’s a party baby, baby, let’s not be late
Yeah, down at the club called Hades Gate
CHORUS X 3 – with ad lib fade
