I Like Your Costume


Ding dong


Mom, there's a big kid
in a Terminator costume at the door
He asked does Sarah Connor live here
I played along with the joke, and said: Yeah, sure

I told him I like his costume,
and I really liked his gun
He said, "Hasta la vista, baby
But I'll be back, John"

You must have really scared him, mom
Coming out of the kitchen with a butcher knife,
looking like the Bride of Frankenstein

You really ought to stop it, mom
Because the kids on Halloween,
won't come trick-or-treating here next time
