Soundtracks - Mr. Jones' Bones by Katherine Dines lyrics

There's a haunted house at the end of our street By an old graveyard and a dead oak tree Where mean Mister Jones was buried alive When his cellar caved in one Halloween night, His cellar caved in one Halloween night NOBODY'S HOME BUT MISTER JONES' BONES Some say his body has never been found And his ghost still moans and wanders around So Pete, my best friend, and I made a pact To trick or treat there without turning back, To trick or treat there without turning back-NOBODY'S HOME... So, Halloween night by the light of the moon We snuck to the house in our spooky costumes Scared as the Devil, we stood on the porch And dared each other to knock on the door, We dared each other to knock on the door- NOBODY'S HOME... There wasn't a sound 'cept the whisper of wind 'Til the hinges creaked and the door swung in We squeaked “Trick or Treat,” and Pete grabbed my arm When a jack o' lantern suddenly lit up the dark, A jack o' lantern suddenly lit up the dark- NOBODY'S HOME... We followed that light to a big living room With a crackling fire and orange balloons Then we saw a ghost with glittery hair And a skeleton rocking on a rickety chair, A skeleton rocking on a rickety chair- NOBODY'S HOME... The ghost pa**ed treats from a grave on the floor Then moaned, “Jones' bones will show you the door!” The skeleton stood and both of us shrieked, Ahhhhhhh! When the mask fell off and we saw underneath: It was my big sister playing Trick or Treat! NOBODY'S HOME...
