Benjamin Franklin flew that kite
Out there in the middle of the storm
Abraham Lincoln grew his beard
To keep Mrs. Lincoln warm
Edison turned the lights on
Must’ve been a hell of a scene
I was raised by wolves
Born on Halloween

I do what I care to
No whiskey ever gets wasted
I make sure all my money gets blown
And no women go untasted
I ain’t what your daddy asked for
Ain’t the boy of your mama’s dreams
Baby, you better start howling
I was born on Halloween

Born on Halloween
Born on Halloween
Bless the lord with a G chord
I was born on Halloween

James Dean
Bridget Bardot
The Wolfman
Casper the friendly ghost
Ask about my birthday
That’s what I think of most
One day a year, you dress up
Paint your face all green
That’s when I take my mask off
I was born on Halloween

Born on Halloween
Born on Halloween
Bless the lord with a G chord
I was born on Halloween
