It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Halloween!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s Halloween! It’s Halloween!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The moon is full and bright<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And we shall see what can’t be seen<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On any other night.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Grinning goblins fighting duels,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Werewolves rising from their tombs,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Witches on their magic brooms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In masks and gowns<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we haunt the street<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And knock on doors<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

for trick or treat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight we are<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the king and queen,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For oh tonight<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

it’s Halloween!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Three Little Witches<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(can be sung to the tune of Three Little Indians)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One little, two little, three little witches,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fly over haystacks, fly over ditches,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Slide down moon beams without any hitches,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hey ho Hallowe’en’s here!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Horned owl’s hooting, it’s time to go riding,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Deep in the shadows are black cats hiding,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With gay little goblins, sliding, gliding,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hey ho Hallowe’en’s here!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stand on your head with a lopsided wiggle,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tickle your little black cats till they giggle,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Swish through clouds with a higgedy, piggle,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hey ho Hallowe’en’s here!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween is Coming Soon<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(can be sung to the tune of London Bridge)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween is coming soon, coming soon, coming soon,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween is coming soon,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, what fun!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Black cats sitting on a fence, on a fence, on a fence,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Black cats sitting on a fence,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meow! Meow! Meow!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Owl’s a-hooting in the trees, in the trees, in the trees,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Owl’s a-hooting in the trees,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Witches flying on their brooms, on their brooms, on their brooms,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Witches flying on their brooms,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Eee! Eee! Eee!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jack o’lanterns grin at you, grin at you, grin at you,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jack o’lanterns grin at you,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh! Oh! Oh!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween is coming soon, coming soon, coming soon,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween is coming soon,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, what fun!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Owl<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

An owl sat watching in a tree,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just as wise as he could be,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Watching tricksters from door to door run,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trick or treating and having fun.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After he had watched the whole scene,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He said, “Whoo, it’s Owl-o-ween!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Skeleton Parade<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The skeletons are out tonight,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They march about the street,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With bony bodies, bony heads,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And bony hands and feet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bony bony bony bones<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

with nothing in between,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Up and down and all around<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They march on Hallowe’en.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Black Cat!\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Black cat, black cat<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Looking for a witch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Night is dark as pitch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can see because<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween Sounds<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the way the witches fly, witches fly, witches fly,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the way the witches fly,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Swish, swish, swish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hoo, hoo, hoo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trick or Treat<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Witches, ghosts, and goblins.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stealing down the street,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Knock on every door way,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trick or treat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When your door is opened,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is what you meet,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Scary creatures shouting,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trick or treat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween Parade<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Five white ghosts and seven goblins,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Go parading down the street,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Boys and girls with funny faces,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Asking for a treat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If a goblin rings my doorbell,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I will say “I’m not afraid!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I will light my jack-o’lantern,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the Halloween parade.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I will give these scary people,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Apples, candy, cakes to eat;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then I’ll wave goodbye and watch them<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As they march off down the street.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In My Garden<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(can be sung to the tune of The Muffin Man)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know how pumpkins grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins grow, pumpkins grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you know how pumpkins grow?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my garden?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First I plant some pumpkin seeds,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

some pumpkin seeds, some pumpkins seeds,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First I plant some pumpkin seeds<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then the vines and leaves will grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

leaves will grow, leaves will grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then the vines and leaves will grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then the buds will turn to blossoms,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

turn to blossoms, turn to blossoms,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then the buds will turn to blossoms,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then green pumpkins will grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

will grow, will grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then green pumpkins will grow,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At last the pumpkins turn to orange,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

turn to orange, turn to orange,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At last the pumpkins turn to orange,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now I’ll have some jack-o-lanterns,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

jack-o-lanterns, jack-o-lanterns,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now I’ll have some jack-o-lanterns,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In my garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Five Little Pumpkins<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Five little pumpkins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sitting on a gate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first one said,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Oh, my it’s getting late!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The second one said,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“There are witches in the air!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The third one said,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Well, I don’t care!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The fourth one said,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Let’s run and run and run!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The fifth one said,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m ready for some fun!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ooooo went the wind<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And out went the lights<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the five little pumpkins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rolled out of sight.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkin Head<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We bought a pumpkin big and round<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

that lived the summer through<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

without an eye to look at things…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and now it looks through two.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It used to be all dark inside<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

when growing on the vine,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

but now it has a toothy smile<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and face that’s full of shine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aileen Fisher<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Out in the fields where the cornstalks lie,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some pumpkins are sleeping, but by and by<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll pick them and bring them one by one<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Into the house for Halloween fun.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ll scoop out the middle and cut a hat,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Make 2 eyes and a nose, what do you think of that?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Put in a candle to shine right through,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now they’re Jack-o-lanterns, BOO!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkin<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We bought a fat orange pumpkin<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The plumpest sort they sell.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We neatly scooped the inside out<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And only left the shell.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We carved a funny funny-face<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of silly shape and size,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A pointy nose, a jagged mouth<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And two enormous eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We set it in a window<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And we put a candle in,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then lit it up for all to see<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our jack-o’lantern grin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the barn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the house.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the wagon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the mouse.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the fence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the cat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the scarecrow.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the hat.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the table.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the chair.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins by the door.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pumpkins everywhere!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What a funny seed I found,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I wondered what would grow?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So I planted it in the ground,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now I know!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Little leaves were first to sprout,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Growing in a line,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then golden blossoms opened out<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Along the vine.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And then something grew-and grew and grew!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest ever seen!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And now I have a pumpkin-<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just in time for HALLOWEEN!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had a little pumpkin,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I gave it two big eyes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I cut a round and tiny nose<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and a great big mouth that smiles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now I hide behind a bush and<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

wait until it’s dark.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then when someone comes along<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

UP I JUMP!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

BOO I SHOUT!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What a surprise!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jack -O’lantern<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The jack -o’lantern chuckled<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then winked his funny eye,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“I would rather be a pumpkin-face<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Than be inside a pie!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jolly wolly pumpkin face<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You’re happy tell us why.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’d rather be a pumpkin face<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And not a pumpkin pie!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
