Do They Know its Halloween

Transcript:
A Benefit for UNICEF: Do They Know it's Halloween?

Once a year on a spooky night
It's Halloween... and what a fright!
Young boys and ghouls in ghoulish disguise
They cover their skin, conceal their eyes
A grave mistake to be out when the ghosts are about
It's Halloween... our time to be afraid!

In the rest of the year, they don't observe
This bash which has become our biggest concern
Latvia, Laos, Chad, Peru..they don't know the
fear we endure once a year
We need their help or else we're through
They don't know the fear we endure once a year
All Halloween, we are afraid

Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?
Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?

It's October 31st, could it get any worse?
Children on streets, begging for treats
Drowning in a bucket of apples bobbing
Parents are hiding, our babies are sobbing
The undead have returned
They're freaking us out!
Dragging us down, so we shout:

"Help us! Help us! Save our souls!"
We're dying of fear and they don't even know it
They think we've got it all
What we need is a team
To help us forget... forget Halloween

Fools! You think you can stop Halloween
The world can't hear your useless plea
It's too late, our orange and black plague will soon consume them all
Then everyone will understand the true meaning of Halloween
Pure terror!

WE WANT CANDY! WE WANT CANDY! WE WANT CANDY! WE WANT CANDY!

We're all fed up, we've had enough enough enough enough
We're all fed up, we've had enough enough enough enough
Trick! Caramel apples that will make you sick
Treat! And all those sweets will rot your teeth
Ouija board, ouija board... spell this!
We don't want you here no more
The writing's on the tombstone
Beneath the willow tree
No more razorblades in our kid's candy
Dead dogs and broomsticks
Pumpkins in flames
We're ending this night
Ending this shame

Do they know it's Hallowe'en tonight?
