I go walking in the graveyard pretty often
and one time I saw a cheese plate sitting on a coffin
I went in the crypt and I headed down
and to my surprise, it seems I’d found
(it was) a low-key halloween gathering
a low-key halloween gathering
just a few monsters nothing too crazy
core monsters only
Dracula was there, he was playing the host
The Mummy and The Blob were playing cards with a ghost
The Creature From The Black Lagoon was eating all of the tapas
He didn’t save any for the Phantoms of the Operas
A skeleton was dancing he was shakin’ his bones
Frankenstein’s Bride just kinda scrolled through her phone
while Frankenstein and the Wolfman talked about brewcraft
and have you ever heard the Cryptkeeper’s podcast?
(it was) a low-key halloween gathering
a low-key halloween gathering
Not the kind where the monsters dance and sing
a low-key halloween gathering
Then Dracula’s roommate appeared with a sneer
He said you’ve forgotten that we made a deal
He pointed at the clock and said “you’re out of time”
“this low-key halloween gathering ends promptly at 9”
(it was) a low-key halloween gathering
a low-key halloween gathering
some of us gotta work in the morning
a low-key halloween gathering
