Lyrics
The words as written. The Gogolis’ lyrics are co-written by a person and AI, and a human chooses the final words.
Intro
Pumpkins glowing, lights down low,
(creak... creak... the floorboards go)
Candy ready, here we go!
(hoo! hoo! an owl up in the tree)
It's Halloween in Lumis town —
(CREEEEAK!) What was that?! Oh dear me!
Chorus
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Tiptoe, tiptoe... BOO!
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Hahaha — it's only you!
Verse 1
(knock! knock! knock!) Somebody's there!
(gulp!) A great big shadow on the stair!
It's got horns! It's twice as tall!
(shiver, shiver) Hide behind the sofa, all!
...A neighbour in a hat too tight! Hello!
Chorus
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Tiptoe, tiptoe... BOO!
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Hahaha — it's only you!
Verse 2
(thump! thump! thump!) Something's at the floor!
(tip... toe... tip... toe...) Peep through the hole in the door!
(rattle, rattle!) One enormous staring eye!
(chatter, chatter) Everybody wave goodbye!
...A neighbour in some specs too deep! Hello!
Chorus
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Tiptoe, tiptoe... BOO!
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Hahaha — it's only you!
Verse 3
(wooOOOoo!) A ghost is floating by!
(flap! flap!) White and wobbly, way up high!
(rustle, rustle in the leaves)
Nobody move and nobody blink!
(whoooosh!) It's coming closer — quick, I think —
...A neighbour with a sheet too long! Hello!
Outro
(hee hee hee!) What a funny fright,
Candy rustling, what a night!
(munch, munch!) Everybody safe and sound...
(...plop. one small pumpkin rolls around...)
JUMP! (AAAH!) ...Hahaha! Goodnight!
Chorus
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Tiptoe, tiptoe... BOO!
KNOCK, KNOCK! Who's at the door?
Hahaha — it's only you!

The pumpkins are glowing, the sweets are ready and the floorboards creak. Then something knocks at the door, three times over, and each time the fright gets bigger: a great horned shadow on the stair, one enormous eye at the peephole, a ghost floating past the window. And each time the door opens on a neighbour in a costume that does not quite fit: a hat too tight, specs too deep, a sheet far too long. The chorus is the part to join in with: knock, knock, tiptoe, tiptoe, BOO!
In the video, all six Gogolis creep across the living room in a line until a board creaks under Nibs, Lilly fetches down the bowl of sweets, and Gambo holds a pumpkin up by the fire to throw a giant shadow on the wall. Toti tiptoes to the archway and Gambo jumps out with a BOO, and the second time Toti is ready. When everyone is safe on the sofa with a sweet each, one tiny pumpkin rolls out across the rug, the whole room jumps, and the night ends in laughing.
