It is performed by the residents of the fictional "Halloween Town", which is the film's main setting during the opening of the film.

Shadows (Ghost / Werewolf):
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Siamese Shadow:
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
Ghosts:
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
Monster Under the Bed:
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
Monster Under the Stairs:
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
Chorus:
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Vampires:
In this town, we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
Mayor:
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Chorus:
Round that cornerman hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
Harlequin Demon, Werewolf & Melting Man:
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, and slimy green
Werewolf:
Aren't you scared?
Witches:
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
Hanging Tree:
Everybody scream, everybody scream!
Hanging Skeletons:
In our town of Halloween...
Clown:
I am the clown with the tear-away face
(deeper voice) Here in a flash and gone without a trace
Voice:
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair...
Oogie Boogie Shadow:
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright!

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!

Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back and scream like a banshee, make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy?
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone, hail to the Pumpkin King now
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

In this town, we call home
Everyone, hail to the pumpkin song
