Pumpkins Halloween's Coming
When you see me in the fields, (Tune: London Bridge)
My orange glowing in the sun, Halloween will soon be here,
It's time to say goodbye to summer Soon be here, soon be here.
And hello to autumn fun!! Halloween will soon be here
Look out, eeeeeek!
Witches riding on a broom,
Jack OLantern On a broom, on a broom.
The Jack OLantern chuckled Witches riding on a broom,
Then winked his funny eye, Look out, eeeeeek!
I would rather be a pumpkin-face
Than be inside a pie! Black cats howling on a fence,
On a fence, on a a fence.
Black cats howling on a fence,
Look out, eeeeeek!

Ghost and Goblins What Will We Be?
Ghosts and Goblins, cats and bats, Aidan will be an astonaut
Cats and bats, cats and bats, Bill will be a bat.
Witches in their funny hats, Megans a ballerina
It is Halloween! And Pats a pussy cat.
Vic will be a vampire
And he will give a scare
Halloween Witches (Tune: Ten Little Indians) Joan will be a princess
One little, two little, three little witches With flowers in her hair.
Fly over haystacks Michael is still thinking
Fly over ditches And Sally cant decide
Slide down moonbeams without any hitches Will Michael be a monster
Hey! Ho! Halloween's here. And Sally be a bride?
Halloween is lots of fun
Stand on your head with a lop-sided wiggle With many costumes made.
Tickle your little black cats till they giggle They all will be for you to see
Swish through the clouds with a higgledy-piggle In the Halloween parade!
Hey! Ho! Halloween's here.
Three Ghostesses
Three little ghostesses,
Sitting on postesses,
Eating buttered toastesses,
Greasing their fistesses,
Up to their wristesses,
Jack-O-Lantern Oh, what beastesses
(Tune: Did You Ever See a Lassie?) To make such feastesses!
Oh, once I had a pumpkin, a pumpkin, a pumpkin
Oh, once I had a pumpkin, with no face at all
With no eyes and no nose and no mouth and no
teeth Trick or Treat
Oh, once I had a pumpkin with no face all Witches, ghosts, and goblins.
Stealing down the street,
So I made a jack-o-lantern, jack-o-lantern, Knock on every door way,
jack-o-lantern Trick or treat!
So I made a jack-o-lantern with a big funny face When your door is opened,
With big eyes and a big nose and big mouth This is what you meet,
and big teeth Scary creatures shouting,
So I made a jack-o-lantern with a big funny face. Trick or treat!

Witches Brew Monsters
______, _______, _______, too. There are monsters everywhere,
Stir them in my witches brew. Monsters wandering in my hair,
I've got magic - Ala-kala-ma-zoo! Monsters on the corner stair,
Ooooo ..My witches brew Monsters in the rocking chair,
Ooooo ..What's it going to do to you? Monsters going up the wall,
Boo! Monsters that are very tall,
If I caught them in a bunch,
Have the children give you 2 words to go in I'd have monster stew for lunch.
each space, such as: dead leaves, rotten
eggs, spider webs, moldy bread, mucky mud,
purple paint, finger nails, lunch pails, apple I made a funny pumpkin face
cores, wrinkled prunes, etc. For everyone to see.
It looked so very big and cross
It even frightened me.
I love...
Ghosts a just right
I think I'll wear a sheet, stormy night
A big, white, ghostly sheet; shutters banging
And go about on Halloween webs hanging
To scare the folks I meet. doors squeaking
I'll be entirely covered up - floors creaking
All white from head to feet, goose-bumping
And I don't think they'll ever guess strange thumping
That I'm inside that sheet. candles flickering
witches snickering
groans and moans
Five little jack-o-lanterns sitting on a gate, and bunches of bones
The first one said, Oh, my! It's shadows creeping
getting late. lightening leaping
The second one said, There's witches bats flying
in the air. ghosts sighing
The third one said, We don't care. ghouls mumbling
The fourth one said, Let's run, let's run. castles crumbling
The fifth one said, Let's stay and a scary ending. . .
have some fun! but just pretending!

Countdown It's getting scarier all about,
There are ten ghosts in the basement, You're starting to wish
There are nine upon the stairs, you'd never went out.
There are eight ghosts in the attic, Panic now, what will you do?
There are seven on the chairs. Then something jumps right out at you.
There are six ghosts in the kitchen, BOO!
There are five along the hall,
There are four upon the ceiling,
There are three up on the wall.
There are two ghosts on the carpet, What Witches Do
What are we going to do? The witches don their pointed hats,
There is one ghost right behind you, The witches croak and croon,
Who is so quiet. The witches ride their broomsticks,
BOO! Away beyond the moon.
The witches don their flowing cloaks,
The witches stir their brew.
I laugh at my Jack OLantern, The witches chant their magic spells,
I think he is fun to see. All the dark hours through.
He must be thinking the same thing, The witches stroke their big black cats,
Because he is laughing at me! They comb their locks of gray,
Yet when the first faint daylight comes.
The witches hide away.
Halloween
The dogs bark
The night is dark
Look where you go on Halloween night, And spooky things are seen.
Some scary things will give you a fright! The witches ride
There's ghosts and goblins here and there, The children hide
Scary things are everywhere!
Tonight is Halloween!

Tune: I'm a Little Teapot The Halloween Surprise
I'm a happy scarecrow made out of straw, Dad and I shopped for a pumpkin
Listening for the noisy crows to caw. To carve for Halloween.
I watch the fields all day and all night too. The one we bought was round and fat,
If a crow comes by I just say, BOO! The best we'd ever seen.
We took it home, and carefully
Scarecrow, scarecrow, what do you see, My dad cut off the top.
Alone at night by the old oak tree? We scooped the gloppy seeds all out
Some old black cats and pumpkins three. Onto paper plop, plop, plop!
That's what I see by the old oak tree. Next, Dad cut out the eyes and mouth,
Then he cut out the nose.
He winked at me and then he said,
Cat, He'll be bald, I suppose.
Cat, I laughed and said, Oh, Daddy,
Your eyes are bright and green, Jack-o-lanterns' heads are bare.
Where have you been I've never seen a single one
What have you done That had a head of hair!
So skittery-scary this Hallowe'en? Then we took our pumpkin outside
With a candle for its light.
And where did you get Our jolly jack-o-lantern glowed
that pointed hat? So brightly in the night.
Tell me that, Long after I had gone to bed,
Cat! Snowflakes began to fall.
They covered up the bushes
And the garden and the wall.
The Witch In the morning I ran out to see
There once was a witch of Willoughby Wood, If my pumpkin was still there.
And a weird wild witch was she; I found him sitting on the porch -
With her hair that was snarled, But now he had white hair!
And hands that were gnarled,
And a rickety, kickety knee.
She could jump they say
To the moon and back, Bobbing for Apples
But this I never did see. Watch us bobbing for an apple
For an apple apple apple,
But no apple apple apple
Not an apple can I get.

Big black cats What will you be?
Witches wearing I might be a pirate
Pointed hats. On the deep blue sea.

This is the way the witches fly, witches fly, Winking at me.

This is the way the witches fly, Halloween is coming,
Swish, swish, swish. What will you be?
This is the way the ghosts go by, ghosts go by, It's a SECRET,

This is the way the ghosts go by,
Oooh, oooh , oooh.
This is the way the black cats howl, black cats howl,

I'm a Little Pumpkin In masks and gowns
I'm a Little Teapot We haunt the street
I'm a little pumpkin And knock on doors
Round and stout For trick or treat.
Packed full of seeds
That you can scoop out
When I get all carved up Halloween Night
Then I'll be Come on along
The cutest Jack-o-Lantern The moon is shining bright
You ever did see! There are goblins and witches
And black cats out tonight.
Halloween Pumpkin
Carve your pumpkin with a face really mean.
Set it outside in a place to be seen,
For it scares away ghosts, goblins, and more.
You might want to put it right next to your door!
Most important of all on this Halloween night,
Have lots of fun and turn on the light!
Thanks! Jean
