The lyrics of this week:
Glow the jack-o-lanterns, midnight on the street,
Ghosts in city alleys, dance with our heartbeat.
Laugh at the shadows, hear the midnight ring,
Trick or treat worldwide — let the weirdness sing.

In Los Angeles a comedian scares her boyfriend each dawn,
Five morning costumes—clown, Jigsaw, Edward Scissor-arms drawn.
He wakes with terror, she grins in delight, viral for the fright.
That’s US Halloween play, twisted fun under daylight.
In Paris the “Red Balloon” stunt creeps across the metro line,
Pennywise pop-ups in Madrid, Singapore, Sydney night so fine.
Five continents gasped, horror marketing gone global wide,
Scare-tourists love the jump-scare, photo-bombing the vibe.

Boo in the groove, moonlight moves,
Ghosts got rhythm and the witches approve.
Snap with the bats, shake with the ghouls,
Freaks on the beat, yeah we bend all the rules.
Trick, treat, heartbeat boom,
Pumpkin bass drops fill the room.
Laugh through the fear, groove through the fright,
Halloween worldwide — we own the night!

On the Isle of Man the “original Halloween” holds bonfires by the sea,
Turnip lanterns, ghost dog tails, folklore runs free.
Castletown’s Witches Mill whispers secrets of the night,
Haunted bridges, fairy legend scenes—haunt your mind till daylight.
In Glasgow a carnival moves its location, spook factor turned up three,
Spooktacular by the Clyde, rides and ghouls by the quay.
Families flock to Ferris-wheels under spectre light,
Creepy giggles, ghostly fog—October’s prime delight.

Boo in the groove, moonlight moves,
Ghosts got rhythm and the witches approve.
Snap with the bats, shake with the ghouls,
Freaks on the beat, yeah we bend all the rules.
Trick, treat, heartbeat boom,
Pumpkin bass drops fill the room.
Laugh through the fear, groove through the fright,
Halloween worldwide — we own the night!

Costume change every morning, from clown to puppet terror, love and horror fused in daylight,
Red balloons drifting over five continents, Pennywise smiled at you but said ‘goodnight’.
Turnips carved on isle of myth, fairy bridges whisper in the dusk, ancient spirits dance on the sea,
Glasgow’s carnival moves to riverside, ghosts ride rollercoasters with kids in glee.”

Boo in the groove, moonlight moves,
Ghosts got rhythm and the witches approve.
Snap with the bats, shake with the ghouls,
Freaks on the beat, yeah we bend all the rules.
Trick, treat, heartbeat boom,
Pumpkin bass drops fill the room.
Laugh through the fear, groove through the fright,
Halloween worldwide — we own the night!

Week 44 spun its ghost tale—funny freaked, globally scaled.
From LA wake-ups, to mythic isles, to clowns in Paris-miles.
We laugh at the fright, we join the light,
Halloween’s global rap—spooky, silly, tight.
