Welcome to the stadium on this spooky night!We walk through the gates of The Swamp tonightThe bright orange and blue is a beautiful sightAll the ghosts and the ghouls are beginning to roar

As the Florida Gators prepare for the scoreThey're chasing the candy and chasing the ballIt's the happiest Halloween night of them allWith a big Gator chomp and a spooky hello

We are ready to watch this spectacular show

It's a Gator Halloween, let's jump and shout!The sweetest orange treats are all about!Albert and Alberta are dancing so free!It's a spooky blue party for you and me!

The Bulldogs are here but they only get tricksNo sweet gummy worms or some chocolate mixThe Tigers are growling but didn't get treatsJust sour old lemons and empty old sheets

But all of our friends get a mountain of sweetsAs the Gators go marching along in the streetsThey're passing out popcorn and lollipop funThis football game party has only begun

It's a Gator Halloween, let's jump and shout!The sweetest orange treats are all about!Albert and Alberta are dancing so free!It's a spooky blue party for you and me!

Look who is coming to join in the funIt's Albert and Alberta for everyoneThey're doing the chomp in their Halloween gearTo bring all the children a big happy cheer

And here comes a hero to clean up the spaceThe Xtermigator with a smile on his faceHe's sweeping the bugs from the stadium floorSo all of us Gators can happily roar

It's a Gator Halloween, let's jump and shout!The sweetest orange treats are all about!Albert and Alberta are dancing so free!It's a spooky blue party for you and me!

From the end zone to fifty it is a grand sightEverything glowing so pretty and brightThe Xtermigator is waving helloAs Albert and Alberta put on a show

The stadium lights are a beautiful hueOf the brightest of orange and deepest of blueWe're sharing our treats with the friends that we meetDancing and laughing on every street

It's a Gator Halloween, let's jump and shout!The sweetest orange treats are all about!Albert and Alberta are dancing so free!It's a spooky blue party for you and me!

Chomp chomp on this Halloween nightEverything here is a spooky delightWith the Xtermigator and both of our crewWe're sending a big happy holiday to you!

Love Lights Up the Swamp

The song from the story.

Verse 1

I built a craft, a lantern shield with words I meant to say,with custom grips for different hands to guide us on our way.Somewhere past the pumpkin patch, it just slipped away.You said, “We’ll take our time to build, there’s more than one way through,”and every path feels brighter walking here with you.

Chorus

Orange and blue beneath the moon,There’s a place for me and you.Through the ferns, our hearts shine true.I can be myself with you.Some things you cannot see still belong to you and me.Hand in hand we make more room.Love lights up the swamp tonight.

Verse 2

You saved a quiet craft space beyond the cheering crowd.You heard me speaking so often, though I didn’t have to shout.Adapted loops for every grip, a choice in what we do.That’s how I know you see my heart, and I see yours there too.

Chorus (again)

Orange and blue beneath the moon,There’s a place for me and you.Through the ferns, our hearts shine true.I can be myself with you.Love lights up the swamp tonight.

Bridge

Take a breath or take a seat, find your rhythm, find your beat.Speak or point or take your time.Your way belongs here next to mine.Together in the gator swamp, love lights up the swamp tonight.No matter who you are and how you act, you’re welcome here.A disability is not an inability. It’s your greatest superpower.
