       Am                     E
But I never intended all this madness, never.

And, by God, I really tasted something swell. (That's right!)

And I just can't wait until next Halloween

'cause I've got some new ideas
           Am                 Fm
that will really make them scream.

And, by God I'm really gonna give it all my might!
N.C.       Bbdim7             B       Em         Ebdim7
