It is the night of Hallowe'en
When all the witches may be seen
Some are fat
Some are lean
And some are as tall as a castor bean!
I'm a mean old witch with a hat.
I ride on my broom with my cat.
My shoes are pointed and my chin is too.
You had better watch out or I might scare you...
Witch, Witch
Witch witch, where do you fly?
Under the clouds and over the sky.
Witch, witch, what do you eat?
Little black apples from Hurricane Street.
Witch, witch, what do you drink?
Vinegar and good red ink.
Witch, witch, where do you sleep?
Up in the clouds where the pillows are cheap.
Owl
An owl sat watching in a tree,
Just as wise as he could be,
Watching tricksters from door to door run,
Trick or treating and having fun.
After he had watched the whole scene,
He said, "Whoo, it's Owl-o-ween!"
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 Hallowe'en.
What Witches Do
The witches don their pointed hats,
The witches croak and croon,
The witches ride their broomsticks,
Away beyond the moon.
The witches don their flowing cloaks,
The witches stir their brew.
The witches chant their magic spells,
All the dark hours through.
The witches stroke their big black cats,
They comb their locks of gray,
Yet when the first faint daylight comes.
The witches hide away.
Skin and Bones
There was an old woman all skin and bones,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She lived down by the old graveyard,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
One night she thought she'd take a walk,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She walked down by the old graveyard,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She say the bones a-lying around,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She went to the closet to get a broom,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She opened the door and -------
BOO!!!
Trick or Treat
Witches, ghosts, and goblins.
Stealing down the street,
Knock on every door way,
Trick or treat!
When your door is opened,
This is what you meet,
Scary creatures shouting,
Trick or treat!
Hallowe'en Parade
Five white ghosts and seven goblins,
Go parading down the street,
Boys and girls with funny faces,
Asking for a treat.
If a goblin rings my doorbell,
I will say "I'm not afraid!"
I will light my jack-o'lantern,
For the Hallowe'en parade.
I will give these scary people,
Apples, candy, cakes to eat;
Then I'll wave goodbye and watch them
As they march off down the street.
Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins
Sitting on a gate.
The first one said,
"Oh, my it's getting late!"
The second one said,
"There are witches in the air!"
The third one said,
"Well, I don't care!"
The fourth one said,
"Let's run and run and run!"
The fifth one said,
"I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooooo went the wind
And out went the lights
And the five little pumpkins
Rolled out of sight.
Pumpkin Head
We bought a pumpkin big and round
that lived the summer through
without an eye to look at things...
and now it looks through two.
It used to be all dark inside
when growing on the vine,
but now it has a toothy smile
and face that's full of shine.
Out in the fields where the cornstalks lie,
Some pumpkins are sleeping, but by and by
We'll pick them and bring them one by one
Into the house for Halloween fun.
We'll scoop out the middle and cut a hat,
Make 2 eyes and a nose, what do you think of that?
Put in a candle to shine right through,
Now they're Jack-o-lanterns, BOO!
Pumpkin
We bought a fat orange pumpkin
The plumpest sort they sell.
We neatly scooped the inside out
And only left the shell.
We carved a funny funny-face
Of silly shape and size,
A pointy nose, a jagged mouth
And two enormous eyes.
We set it in a window
And we put a candle in,
Then lit it up for all to see
Our jack-o'lantern grin.
What a funny seed I found,
I wondered what would grow?
So I planted it in the ground,
And now I know!
Little leaves were first to sprout,
Growing in a line,
Then golden blossoms opened out
Along the vine.
And then something grew-and grew and grew!
The biggest ever seen!
And now I have a pumpkin-
Just in time for HALLOWEEN!
I'm a Mean Old Witch With a Hat!
I'm a mean old witch with a hat!
And I ride on a broom with my cat!
And my shoes are pointed,
And my chin is too.
And you better watch OUT!....
'cause I might scare you.
I'm a mean old witch with a hat!
PUMPKIN
After its lid
Is cut, the slick
Seeds and stuck
Wet strings.
The scooped out
Walls scraped
Dry and white,
Face carved, candle
Fixed and lit,
Light creeps
Into the thick
Rind: giving
That dead orange
Vegetable skull
Warm skin, making
A live head
To hold its
Sharp gold grin
HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN
Carve your pumpkin with a face really mean.
Set it outside in a place it'll 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!
Hallowe'en
Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en --
Strangest sights I've ever seen,
Witches hat, coal-black cats
Ghosts and gobblins,
Mice and rats.
Countdown
One full moon.
Two wicked witches.
Three boney skeletons.
Four hooting owls.
Five meowing cats.
Six glowing jack-0-lanterns.
Seven spooky ghosts.
Eight creepy spiders.
Nine green goblins.
Ten black bats.
Hinx, Minx, the Old Witch Winks
Hinx Minx, the old witch winks,
The fat begins to fry.
Nobody at home but jumping Joan,
Father, mother and I.
Stick, stock, stone dead,
Blind man can't see;
Every knave will have a slave,
You and I must be he.
The Witch from Rodmell
I once met a witch from Rodmell,
Who screamed like a bat out of hell.
She jumped on to her broom,
And flew out of the room -
I only asked her how to spell!
Hay-ho for Hallowe'en!
Hay-ho for Hallowe'en!
And the witches to be seen,
Some black, and some green,
Hay-ho for Hallwe'en!
Charm Against an Egg-boat
You must break the shell to bits, for fear
The witches should make it a boat, my dear:
For over the sea, away from home,
Far by night the witches roam
THE NIGHT OF HALLOWEEN
The house looks empty,
There's no one around,
There isn't a sight,
There isn't a sound.
In the darkness each ear,
I feel the same shame,
having eaten the treats...
Before the kids came!
Black
Black is the night
And a witch's cat
Black is licorice
And that witch's cat!
Old mother witch
Couldn't sew a stitch
Picked up a penny
And thought she was rich.
IF I WAS A WITCH
If I was a witch I would climb on my broom
And fly away with a zoom zoom zoom
Three Wee Witchies
Not last night, but the night before
Three wee witchies came knocking at my door
One played the fiddle
One played the drum
And one had a pancake
STUCK TO HER BUM!
Boiling Hot!
Boiling hot, boiling hot
What will we put in the witch's pot?
Boiling hot, boiling hot
We'll put some spiders in the witch's pot
On Halloween
On Halloween just take a peek
Wee brownies creep when we are asleep.
Elves and pixies dance and leap.
Witches ride upon a broom.
And fuzzy bats dart past me-zoom!
Five Little Witches
Five little witches standing by the door.
One flew out and then there were four.
Four little witches standing by a tree.
One went to pick a pumpkin and then there were three.
Three little witches stirring their brew.
One fell in and then there were two.
Two little witches went for a run.
One got lost and then there was one.
One little witch, yes, only one.
She cast a spell and now there are none
Halloween has come today
all the little pumpkins say
we will laugh and dance and play
Halloween's the pumpkin's day.
THE SMALLEST WITCH
The smallest witch you ever did see
just peeked through the window and looked at me
I waved once or twice but very soon,
she jumped three times and flew to the moon
A Little Witch
A little witch in a pointed cap
On my door went rap, rap, rap.
When I went to open it,
She was not there.
She was riding on her broomstick
High up in the air!
LITTLE WITCH BUMPKIN
Little Witch Bumpkin
Sat on her pumpkin
Eating three meals a day.
When down came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Witch Bumpkin away!
There was a small witch on a Halloween night
Who wanted to see if her hat was on right
She looked in the mirror and gave a loud scream
For she really looked like a very bad dream.
Jack'olantern...jackolantern
You are such a funny sight
As you sit by the window
looking out at the night
You were once an orange pumpkin
growing on a slender vine
Now you are a jackolantern
see the candle light shine.
Mary had a little lamb;
you've heard this tale before.
But did you know she passed her plate
and had a little more??
A ghoul stood on the moonlit bank
his bones were all aquiver...
He gave a cough
his leg fell off
and floated down the river!
Southern Folk Rhyme
Bat! Bat! Come un'er my hat,
But don't bring none yo' ole bedbugs,
If yo' don' want to git fersaken.
More soon!
