Halloween
Halloween is creepy full of scary sounds.
Kids are roaming in the night with their costumes on.
The moon is full high in the air,
gleaming bright everywhere.
Trample trample pat pat pat,
while everyone goes through the night.
Bags are full of candy,
for the sweet tooth kids to eat.
It is now getting late as the moon rises higher.
Rubbing there eyes fast asleep,
THAT IS HALLOWEEN
Spooks
There’s a goblin at my window,
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There’s a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween

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.
Haunted House
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.

A magic chant
If in the dark you’re frightened,
Here’s all you have to do.
Say: Igga bigga,
Hunka bunka,
Dinka danka doo.
These words give you protection
From ghosts-and witches, too.
Say: Igga bigga,
Hunka bunka,
Dinka danka doo.
So if at night a monster
Should whisper,”I’ll get you,”
Yell: Igga bigga,
hunka bunka,
Dinka danka doo.
