Ein Schreckgespenst – oh Graus
A bogeyman – oh horror
Spukt in diesem Haus
This house is haunted
Trägt unter seinem Arm den eig'nen Kopf
Carries his own head under his arm
Wie einen Suppentopf
Like a soup pot
Wo springt der Geist jetzt hin
Where does the spirit go now?
Ritter Ratte nennt man ihn
He is called Knight Rat
Er kann durch die Wände gehn
He can walk through walls
Und niemand hält ihn auf
And nobody stops him
Er weckt den Zeitenmann
He wakes the times man
Jetzt gruselt sich wer kann
Now anyone who can is scared
Wenn die Fledermäuse tanzen
When the bats dance
Ist die Geisterstunde da
The witching hour is here
Man ist nich' so gern alleine
You don't like being alone that much
Böse Träume werden wahr
Bad dreams come true
Und es spukt und knarrt und zittert
And it spooks and creaks and trembles
Denn die Zeit ist noch nicht um
Because the time is not up yet
Tote stehen einfach auf
Dead people just get up
Und Geister laufen frei herum
And ghosts roam free
Die Gräber öffnen sich
The graves open
Das is' ja fürchterlich
That's terrible
Wer setzt das Fest in Gang
Who starts the festival?
Na klar, der Ritter Rattenmann
Of course, the knight rat man
Knochen und Gebein tanzen Ringelreih'n
Bones and bones dance in ringlets
Und man trifft sich gern
And people enjoy meeting each other
Zu einem Geistertanz am Grabstein
To a ghost dance at the gravestone
Und dann marschieren sie los
And then they march off
Es kommt, wie's kommen muss
It comes as it has to come
In der Stille einer Mondnacht
In the silence of a moonlit night
Wird es plötzlich eisigkalt
It suddenly gets freezing cold
Ohne Häute zieh'n die Knochenleute
The bone people move without skins
Durch den finsteren Wald
Through the dark forest
Ihre Rappel-Zappel-Klapper-Stunde
Your rattling, fidgeting, rattling hour
Ist noch lang nicht um
It's not over yet
Wenn es spukt und knarrt und zittert
When it's haunted and creaks and trembles
Laufen Geister frei herum
Ghosts roam free
