Grim Grinning Ghosts (or The Screaming Song) is a song composed by Buddy Baker with lyrics by X Atencio for Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction.
In the House of Mouse episode "House Ghosts", after Pete unleashes them in an attempt to scare the guests out of the club, the Haunted Mansion ghosts perform the song.
In Muppets Haunted Mansion, this song was mashed up with the song "Rest in Peace".
Lyrics[]
When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a swinging wake
Happy haunts materialize
And begin to vocalize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Now don't close your eyes
And don't try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise
They pretend to terrorize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for the midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell
Restless bones etherealize
Rise as spooks of ev'ry size
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
(Evil Laugh 3 times)
If you would like to join our jamboree
There's a simple rule that's compulsory
Mortals pay a token fee
Rest in peace, the haunting's free
So hurry back, we would like your company
