A                          E  D
Ya makin up the time that ya lost on de record machine
A                            E

      G           A

Verse 2:
                         E   D
It was a Halloween night and Jack was a seeking his prey
A                                  E
He was stalking all the rooftops just a tryin to see the ladies at play
G             A
He was wearing his daddies clothes
G                     A
So the squealers would mistake him for his Pa now
    G                        A
And the very same day his dad was copped for the dirty deed

B        G       A         E
Jack-o-lantern, Jack-o-lantern change your evil ways
B         G         A        E
Your window lovin your window lovin nineteen times a day
A                  C
You better raise your sights just a little bit higher
B            G          A
To give your Mama just a little bit brighter day
           B
She needs a brighter day
