Lyrics:
CHORUS
What am I gonna be for Halloween?
Gonna dress up, but, gee, I can't decide
Should I be something frightful
Or something more delightful
Make people laugh
Or make them run and hide
I could be scary, or merry(/pretty!/happy!)
Or the silliest thing they've seen
Oh, what am I gonna be for Halloween?
How about a chicken
That goes peep, peep, peep
Or maybe I should dress
Like Little Bo Peep's sheep
Should I be Red Riding Hood
With a basketful of treats
Or a fearless superhero
With big red feet?
REPEAT CHORUS
I could be a washer-dryer doing lan-der-y,
Or an overdecorated giant Christmas tree.
I could be a pickle, all bumpy and green!
Or the only red-haired penguin (quack-quack) that you've ever seen!
Could be a chocolate-coverd marshmallow
A goldfish in a goldfish bowl
A great big plate of nice fresh fruit
A marching band going rooty-toot-toot
A pink snowman with a purple hat
A can of ham, imagine that!
A wolf man in a wedding gown
Or Humpty-Dumpty falling down!
What am I gonna be for Halloween?
Gonna dress up, but gee, I can't decide
Should I be something frightful
Or something more delightful
Make people laugh
Or make them run and hide?
I could be scary, or merry
Or the silliest thing they've seen
Oh, what am I gonna be...
Betcha can't wait to see...
Oh, what am I gonna be-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e...
For Halloween?

No special links here, but I did make this video in 4:3 to begin with, since 16:9 is too much of a hassle for me to get to work right with Windows Movie Maker. HEY! My next video will be my 200th video! I've got to do something flashy.
@dogman15 Okay I'm sorry I was shouting out. I was not thinking straight when I put that comment. I just don't like Ronald McDonald that much and I'm really negative sometimes. So I'm sorry. I will get rid of the negative comment if you want me to.

@sundrop805: No worries, I'm glad you took the time to apologize. You can leave your original comment up if you want to; it's up to you. There's no swearing, for one thing.
You know, free speech and all that. It's perfectly all right to not like Ronald McDonald, but personally, I think this CD was very well-put-together and the music arrangements are fun to listen to, even if it is intended for kids. (That's just my opinion, though.)
Again, thank you for apologizing. Not many people do that.
