(Organ)

When hinges creak in doorless chambers,

And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls,

Whenever candle lights flicker,

Where the air is deathly still.

That is the time when ghosts are present,

Practicing their terror with ghoulish delight.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion.

I am your host, your ghost host (laughing)

Kindly step all the way in please and make room for everyone,

There's no turning back now.

Our tour begins here in this gallery,

Where you see paintings of some of our guests,

As they appeared in their corruptable, mortal state.

Your cadaverouse pallor betrays an aura of foreboding.

Almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis.

Is this haunted room actually stretching?

Or is it your imagination, Hmmm?

And consider this dismaying observation.

This chamber has no windows and no doors.

Which offers you this chilling challenge: to find... a way OUT! (Laughing)

Of course, there's always my way...

(Thunder)

(Screaming)

(Crash)

I didn't mean to frighten you prematurely.

The real chills come later.

Now, as they say "Look alive" and we'll continue our little tour.

And let's all stay together, please.

There are several prominent ghosts who have retired here, from creepy old Crypts all over the world.

Actually, we have 999 happy haunts here,

But there's room for a thousand...any volunteers? (Laughing)

If you insist on lagging behind, you may not NEED to volunteer!

The carrige, that will take you into the morldering sanctum of the spirit world will accomidate you, and 1 or 2 loved ones.

Kindly watch your step as you board please.

We spirits haunt our best in gloomy darkness,

So remember, no flash pictures please.

And now, a carrige approaches to take you into the boundless realm of the supernatural.

Take your loved ones by the hand please, and kindly watch your step.

Oh yes, and no flash pictures please, we spirits are frightfully sensitive to bright lights.

(Bells)

Do not pull down on the saftey bar please, I will lower it for you.

And heed this warning: the spirits will materialize ONLY if you remain quietly seated at all times.

We find it delightfully unlivable here in this ghostly retreat.

Every room has wall to wall creeps.

And hot and cold running chills.

(Hey, Let me out of here!)

All our ghosts have been dying to meet you.

This one can hardly contain himself.

(Let me out of here!)

Unfortunatley, they all seem to have trouble getting through

(Let me out of here!)

(Ghostly sounds)

Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact,

She has a remarkable head, for materializing...The disembodied

Horn toads and lizards, fiddle and strum,

Please answer the roll by beating the drum.

?????, and goulies, old friends and new,

Blow on a horn so we'll know whether it's you.

Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat,

Call in the spirits, wherever they're at!
