Manheim Screamroller’s Greatest Hits (track 2)
(to the tune of “Christmas in Hollis” by Run DMC)
[Drac]
It was October 30th at night in my ‘hood
My friends got a plan that sounds really good
Got to pick up supplies for the plan to be
Heading down the street to the town pharmacy
Fillin’ up our bags, til they ‘bout to burst
Wondering which of the houses gonna get hit first
Pounds of toilet paper weighing down on our backs
And a couple dozen eggs, and they ain’t for snacks
Got to be careful, can’t look suspicious
But what we do tonight is totally vicious
Lace my sneakers tight, sportin’ new hi-tops
Be prepared to run in case we spot some cops
My boys and I love-love trashin’ the town
The trouble really starts when the sun goes down
When the ‘rents see the damage, they’ll flip their lids
Halloween ain’t the only night that’s owned by kids
[C.B.L.]
It’s Mischief Night in the suburbs
Little devils lining up at the curbs
Eggs and TP, shaving cream and soap
Keep your house clean, you ain’t got a hope
Cover up the streets with muck and mess
Yoke’s on the door, leavin’ stains are the best
Some might say that we are mean
But the car’s soaped up, we just made it clean
The neighbors scream out, don’t give no thanks
They’re the victims of our hilarious pranks
(Kids laughing, trash cans falling over)
[Drac, C.B.L.]
Smearin’ up the windows, everything looks hazy
It’s Mischief Night and we goin’ crazy
Coverin’ up our faces, wearin’ the hoodies
Tomorrow we’ll eat up some sweet goodies
The night is young, and so are we
The best entertainment, and totally free
[C.B.L.]
You can’t know my name, won’t say a peep
And I’m runnin’ around while you asleep
All the grown-ups, there’s something you must hear
The night before Halloween’s a night to fear!
