Graveyard Song
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Two visitors enter a cemetery on Halloween and awaken its singing residents. A hooded reaper, two animated tombstones and a talking tree try to frighten them with a rehearsed number. Friendly ghosts Paul and Phil repeatedly interrupt, introduce themselves and break into their own dance, irritating the other performers. When the residents offer the visitors a chance to escape by solving a riddle, the ghosts blurt out the answer. The visitors thank them with beer, which the ghosts cannot hold, before the cemetery returns to their cheerful refrain.

Highly quotable.
The only thing I know for sure is that they're Paul and Phil.
We're ghosts.
