"Grim Grinning Ghosts" is a song from the Disney Parks ride The Haunted Mansion, performed by various ghosts that reside the mansion who sing about their own nature.
The song was originally performed by the late Jay Meyer, the late Thurl Ravenscroft, the late Verne Rowe, the late Bob Ebright, and the late Chuck Schroeder as the singing busts, the late Loulie Jean Norman and the late Bill Reeve as the ghost opera singers, the late Leota "Toombs" Thomas (who was also an Imagineer) as the Ghost Hostess/Little Leota, Candy Candido as the Hitchhiking Ghost Gus, and a chorus as the other ghosts. The narrated introduction was performed by the late Paul Frees as the Ghost Host.
Lyrics
[When hinges creak in doorless chambers
And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls
Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still
That is the time when ghosts are present
Practicing their terror with ghoulish delight]
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 etherialize
Rise as spooks of every size
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize
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
[Hurry back... hurry back...
Be sure to bring your death certificate
If you decide to join us
Make final arrangements now
We've been... dying... to have you]
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
When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell
Restless bones etherialize
Rise as spooks of every size
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
[BOO!]
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize
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
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out
When the crypt doors creak,
and the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a screaming wake
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize
Flying ghosts in the firelight
Rising spooks on every side
restless bones materialize
eerie eyes in the night
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize
Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize
So don't close your eyes and try to hide
Or a silly spook may sit by your side
Dressed up in a strange disguise
They pretend to terrorize
