HAPPY HALLOWEEN! BY OLIVER

IT'S HALLOWEEN! It's Halloween! The moon is full and bright And we shall see what can't be seen on any other night: Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls, Grinning goblins fighting duels, Werewolves rising from their tombs, Witches on their magic brooms.

PUMPKINS

FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate, The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late." The second one said, "But we don't care." The third one said, "I see witches in the air." The fourth one said, "Let's run, and run, and run." The fifth one said, "Get ready for some fun." Then whoosh went the wind, and out went the lights, And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

BATS

FLUTTER, FLUTTER LITTLE BAT Flutter, flutter little bat, How I wonder where you are. Swooping through the darkest night - You find your way without a light. Flutter, flutter little bat, How I wonder where you are!

SKELETONS

SKELETON PARADE The skeletons are out tonight, They march about the street, With bony bodies, bony heads, And bony hands and feet. Bony bony bony bones with nothing in between, Up and down and all around They march on Halloween.

SPIDERSSPIDERS

SPIDERS Spiders are creatures That have many features I like the type that don’t bite They’re cool but they can give you a fright I like what they can do They’re great as pets for you They eat harmful insects They are easy to suspect They live all over the world Their legs can be curled I see spiders everywhere I’ve seen nearly 20 spiders there I wonder why they came They may not be tame They aren’t very long They are very strong!

GHOSTS

ON A DARK, DARK, NIGHT On a dark, dark, night In a dark, dark wood In a dark, dark house In a dark, dark room In a dark, dark cupboard On a dark, dark shelf In a dark, dark box There was a GHOST!

WITCHES

WITCHES COME ON HALLOWEEN Witches come on Halloween, Here's a witch with a tall black hat, Heh-heh, Heh-heh! Here are the whiskers of her cat, Watch out now or you might scream, Here is a jack-o-lantern looking at me, Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh! Here is a goblin, hee, hee, hee.... Pumpkins shining bright, With their candlelight. Bats and goblins coming too, Watching out for you- BOO!

BLACK CATS

THREE BLACK CATS Three black cats, three black cats, In black hats, in black hats. They all jumped into the Halloween brew, They teased the ghosts and the goblins too. Did you ever hear such a hullabaloo On Halloween?

FRANKENSTEINS

IN THE GRAVEGARD In the graveyard, When the moon begans to shine, There's a doctor, a crazy doctor And his monster, Frankenstein. Oh my monster, Oh my monster Frankenstein, You are very, very scary, Don't come near me Frankenstein.

WEREWOLVESWEREWOLVES

WEREWOLF The sun is going down, It will be night time soon. The werewolf will be coming out And howling at the moon.

VAMPIRES OR DRACULAS VAMPIRE TEETH

COFFINSCOFFINS

VAMPIRES Vampires have pale white skin They just come out at night. Give one half a chance and he Will give your neck a bite.

MUMMIES

I come from ancient Egypt They call me the mummy. Bandages cover my arms, my legs, My head, my chest, my tummy.

ZOMBIES

Upon your bed you sleep in pain for nightmares whirl within you brain. You waken with a fearful start as horror grips your heart. You sense a presence standing there, then all at once it meets your stare. A zombie waits within your room and with it dwells your doom...

HAUNTED HOUSES

There's a house upon the hilltop We will not go inside, For that is where the witches live, Where ghosts and goblins hide. Tonight they have their party, All the lights are burning bright, But oh we will not go inside The haunted house tonight. The demons there are whirling And the spirits swirl about. They sing their songs to Halloween. "Come join the fun," they shout. But we do not want to go there, So we run with all our might And oh we will not go inside The haunted house tonight.

DEMONS OR DEVILS

Devil's Night Don't go out on Devil's Night. Stay in your bed and keep on the light. Little demons and ghouls have their fun all right, outside on the streets this Devil's Night. You don't want to know what mischief they cause. On Halloween Eve they run without pause, flying and laughing, and breaking the laws, you really don't want to see the mischief they've caused. Please heed my words, stay under the covers, and tell your friends and your sisters, and of course your brothers. Stay in bed, don't even peek through the shutters, 'cause a goblin or ghost may spook you to stutters. Just wait until daybreak on Halloween Day, when you know all the ghouls and ghosts are away. They hate the daylight, "it's no fun," they say. So just please, please wait to Trick or Treat on Halloween Day.

SWEETSSWEETS TOFFEE APPLES

TRICK OR TREAT Witches, ghosts, and goblins. Stealing down the street, Knock on every doorway, Trick or Treat! When your door is opened, This is what you meet, Scary creatures shouting, Trick or treat!

BOBBING FOR TOFFEE APPLES Watch us bobbing for a toffee apple, For a toffee, toffee, apple, But no toffee, toffee, apple, Not a toffee apple can I get. Oh I cannot catch a toffee apple, Not one toffee, toffee, apple, Through my sister got a toffee apple, All I got was soaking wet!

GOBLINS

The Goblin There's a goblin as green as a goblin can be. Who is sitting outside and is waiting for me. When he knocked on my door and said softly, "Come play!" I answered,"No thank you, now please,go away!" But the goblin as green as a goblin can be. Is still sitting outside and is waiting for me.

MONSTERSMONSTERS

Monsters' Ball Get your tickets for the monsters ball, Come in your hundreds, come one, come all, Join the Frankenstein Monster and the Man in the Moon, And that awful creature from the Black Lagoon. There’s Dracula’s daughter with her bloated tummy, The son of Kong, and, of course, his mummy, The Invisible Man and the Deadly Creature, And Robbie the Robot in his own B-feature The curséd Werewolf and the angry Godzilla, But not the Phantom, he’s retired to a villa, With Doctor Cyclops and the Shrinking Man, Who’re sleeping rough in a caravan. So buy your ticket and book your place, Don’t wash your body or shave your face, When the world stands still and world’s collide, Come to the party with Frankenstein’s bride.
