Chicken my chicken my creamy crow, I went to the well to wash my toe, When I got there the water was low, What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it Old Witch?

Oh, she sound like a fiddle! Oh, she sound like a fiddle! Chicken my chicken my creamy crase, I went to the well to wash my face, But, when I got there the water was lace, What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it Old Witch? Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch, And combs her hair with a hickory switch. She sleeps on a bed with straw and corn And when she snores she sounds like a horn, Oh, she sound like a horn!

HUMPHREY THE BLUE-NOSED PUMPKIN (to the tune of Rudolph the...) Humphrey the blue-nosed pumpkin had a very obvious nose. And if you ever saw it, you might even say it shows. All of the other pumpkins, used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Humphrey play in any pumpkin games.

Then one foggy Halloween Eve, the Great Pumpkin did say, "Humphrey, with your nose so blue, you'll make all the ghosts say BOO!"

Then all the pumpkins loved him, and they shouted out with glee, Humphrey, the blue-nosed pumpkin, You'll go down in history!
