Each Halloween three ghosts decide
It's time to take a midnight ride.
They've stayed under the ground all year,
And now their night for freedom's here.

They saddle up three dragons black.
Each ghost sits on a dragon's back.
They spur them on across the sky
Ten or fifteen miles high.

You can trace their celestial route.
If you awaken and look out.
They cross the sky from West to East,
Each ghost upon its raven beast.

The goal of ghosts is to deceive.
And so they want you to believe
That it's not them you really see
But clouds within a group of three.

But here's the truth: Ghosts are seen
Every year on Halloween.
When you see clouds passing by
Against the spooky, midnight sky,

Remember three ghosts sit astride
Black dragons on a midnight ride
Each Halloween, and they'd prefer
We didn't know that they were there.
