So many cute fillies dressed all up
 Attempting to hide, but it won't be enough 
 You think you can get away with controlling my night? 
 Wearing stupid little costumes that don't even fit right 

 Nightmare Moon, yes I am she 
 I'll always have a little devil in me 
 I'm here to scare you out of the streets 
 I'll take your prized possessions, why take treats? 
 Nightmare Night, it's told to be fun 
 But I can guarantee you, I'm the only one 
 No need to hesitate your want to fear 
 'Cause I'll always be back for more... Next year... 

 I trigger my fangs when you cry and beg 
 I'll kick you off when you pout at my legs 
 Go ahead, go cry to your mommy 
 I'll just fly away with all your lunch money 

 Nightmare Moon, yes I am she 
 I'll always have a little devil in me 
 I'm here to scare you out of the streets 
 I'll take your prized possessions, why take treats? 
 Nightmare Night, it's told to be fun 
 But I can guarantee you, I'm the only one 
 No need to hesitate your want to fear 
 'Cause I'll always be back for more... Next year... 

 Now go home, young ones, and sleep tight 
 I'll be right behind you 
 Staring at you all night 

 Nightmare Moon, yes I am she 
 I'll always have a little devil in me 
 I'm here to scare you out of the streets 
 I'll take your prized possessions, why take treats? 
 Nightmare Night, it's told to be fun 
 But I can guarantee you, I'm the only one 
 No need to hesitate your want to fear 
 'Cause I'll always be back for more... Next year...
