Alright, since Google yields nothing, and this is my favorite song on Halloween Hootenanny, I will give it a shot:

Yeah the spooks come out tonight, it's time to trick or treat
You better answer your door, or find your pumpkin smashed in the street

I've got my costume and candy, and I'm ready for Halloween
But when I answer my door, you know I can't believe what I've seen

They got no costumes on, they got no makeup on their face
They're just a lookin like burglars with their flashlights and pillowcase

and I said :

(chorus)
Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me somethin good to eat
No costume, no candy
no costume, no candy
no costume, no candy
from me

There are so many things that you could be on Halloween night
You could be a zombie, or you could be Frankenstein

If you're a cheap little sheet, you could be a ghost or a mummy
But when you come to my door as you are, let me guess, you're a dummy

(repeat chorus)

Masquerades on parade, what you gonna be on Halloween?
They got a million and one ideas down at the costume scene

It's not the trick or the treat, it's the sweets, these kids ain't hellbound
but with no costumes on, I'm afraid I'm gonna shut you out

(repeat chorus)

There, how's that? I expect a lyric bot from one of the spammy lyrics sites to come by and harvest this presently. The hellbound line is the hardest one to make out, so that could be totally wrong. Excuse me, while I kiss this guy.

This may just be me but it sounds more like:
"It's not the trick or the treat, it's the sweets, these kids they hellbound"

Maybe? or not.. LOL
