I wish to wish Happy Halloween to all the children in America
Every American infant enjoys Halloween
Hang pictures of witches and bats in the hall
Knock yourselves out it's for you after all
New York, L.A., and all in between
Everyone loves Halloween

Once again Happy Halloween to all the children in America
Make faces and pumpkins and watch spooky films on TV
Recite spells and ring doorbells out in the cold
If you live in the states and aren't yet 12 years old
Dress up in a costume you've worked on all day
That's the American way

But here in this country it's just plain October
I'll simply ignore you until it's all over
Don't knock on my door and don't ask me for Smarties
And don't expect me at your Halloween parties

Although Happy Halloween to foreigners, children, and idiots
By all means take over the shops and the streets and TV
You've seen how it's done in American shows
Now saturate Sainsbury's so everyone knows
Even if you're determined like me not to care
It's Halloween everywhere
