When the moon is high and the night's so cold
The gremlins rise the tales unfold
With wicked grins and eyes that gleam
They're out tonight a haunted dream
Through the darkened streets they creep
Never resting never sleep
Pulling pranks and causing fright
Mischief thrives in the dead of night
Gremlins on the prowl causing mayhem, hear them howl
In the shadows they will sneak causing trouble, trick or treat
Gremlins on the prowl with a cackle and a scowl
Lock your doors they're out to play until the break of day
They tip the pots they spill the brew
Knock on doors then vanish too
In every corner in every nook
The gremlins hide with a fiendish look
Gremlins on the prowl causing mayhem hear them howl
In the shadows they will sneak causing trouble, trick or treat
Gremlins on the prowl with a cackle and a scowl
Lock your doors they're out to play until the break of day
As the dawn begins to rise
The gremlins flee from prying eyes,
But they'll be back when the night is black
For another round of mischievous attack
