Halloween Warning (Tune:
On Top Of Old Smoky)
On Halloween evening, one night
in the year,
When ancient graves open, all the ghosts then appear.
We flit through the shadows, we moan and we groan,
We pounce on the mortal, straying too far from home.
So humans be wary, stay safely within
Let a Halloween ghost, scares you out of your skin!
The Twelve Days Of
Halloween
On the first day of Halloween,
my true love gave to me
An owl in a dead oak tree.
On the second day of Halloween,
my true love gave to me
Two Trick-or-Treaters
And an owl in a dead oak tree.
Third day – Three black cats
Fourth day – Four skeletons
Fifth day – Five scary spooks
Sixth day – Six goblins gobbling
Seventh day – Seven pumpkins
glowing
Eighth day – Eight monsters
shrieking
Ninth day – Nine ghosts a-booing
Tenth day – Ten ghouls a-groaning
Eleventh day – Eleven masks
a-learing
Twelfth day – Twelve bats
a-flying
Three Little Witches (Tune: Three Little Indians)
One little,
two
little, three little witches,
Fly over haystacks, fly over ditches,
Slide down moon beams without any hitches,
Hey ho Halloween's here!
Horned owl's hooting, it's time to go
riding,
Deep in the shadows are black cats hiding,
With gay little goblins, sliding, gliding,
Hey ho Halloween's here!
Stand on your head with a lopsided
wiggle,
Tickle your little black cats till they giggle,
Swish through clouds with a higgedy, piggle,
Hey ho Halloween's here!
Bug Juice (Tune: On Top Of Old Smoky)
At camp with the Girl Guides, (or Brownies)
They gave us a drink,
We thought it was Kool-aid,
Because it was pink.
But the thing that they told us,
Would have grossed out a moose,
For that good tasking pink drink,
Was really bug juice.
It looked fresh and fruity,
Like tasty Kool-aid,
But the bugs that were in it,
Were murdered with Raid.
We drank by the gallons,
We drank by the tons,
But then the next morning,
We all had the runs.
Next time you drink bug juice,
And a fly drives you mad,
He’s just getting even,
‘Cause you swallowed his dad.'
Stir, stir,
stir the soup
Taste it with a spoon
Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy
Hope she'll be done soon.
Sniff, sniff, sniff the meat
Salt it like you should
Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty
Humans taste so good.
Slurp, slurp, slurp it down
Never get enough
Hope we trap more humans soon
We're crazy 'bout this stuff.
Whew, phew, burp, I'm full
Think I'm going to pop
Phooey, phooey, phooey, phooey
Guess I'll have to stop.
Gosh, darn,
golly gee
Wish it wasn't so
Oh, well, what the heck
Pass me one more toe.
Ghosts and Goblin’s
(Tune: Frere Jacques)
Ghosts and
Goblin’s
Ghosts and
Goblin’s
Witches too
Witches too
All out trick
or treating
All out trick
or treating
Can’t scare you
Can’t scare you
Great green
globs of
Greasy, grimy
gopher guts
Munched up
monkey meat
Little birdies’
dirty feet
French-fried
eyeballs
Swimming in a
pool of barf
And I forgot my
spoon
Great green
globs of
Greasy, grimy
gopher guts
Mutilated
monkey feet
Chopped up baby
parakeet
French-fried
eyeballs
Sailing in a
creamy puff
Oops! I forgot my
spoon
But there are
straws….
Everybody hates me!
Nobody likes me,
I'm going to the garden to eat
some worms.
Chorus (Repeat after each verse):
Big fat juicy ones
Long green slimy ones,
And itsy, bitsy, fuzzy, wuzzy worms.
Yum Yum.
First you get a bucket,
Then you get a shovel,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
Down goes the first one,
Down goes the second one,
Down goes the third little worm.
Round goes the first one
Round goes the second one
Round goes the third little worm.
Up comes the first one,
Up comes the second one,
Up comes the third little worm.
Everybody likes me,
Nobody hates me!
I'm going to the garden to eat
some worms
They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're altogether ooky,
The Addams Family.
Their house is a museum.
When people come to see 'em
They really are a screa-um.
The Addams Family.
Neat
Sweet
Petite
So get a witch's shawl on.
A broomstick you can crawl on.
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family.
In the Grave Yard (Tune:
Clementine)
In the grave
yard,
In the grave yard,
When the moon begins to shine,
There's a doctor, crazy doctor,
and his monster Frankenstein.
Oh, my monster,
oh, my monster,
oh, my monster Frankenstein,
you are very, very scary, don't come
near me Frankenstein.
Leader - Let me see your
funky chicken!
All - WHAT'S THAT YOU

All - WHAT'S THAT YOU
SAY? I said....
Chorus:

Ooo,
ah-ah-ah ooo, ah-ah-ah ooo, ah-ah-ah ooo,
One
more time, now!
Ooo,
ah-ah-ah ooo, ah-ah-ah ooo, ah-ah-ah ooo,

There once was a family a long
time ago that went on vacation. A mother,
father, brother, sister and last but not least a small baby. After a long day
of sightseeing and traveling the family decides to check into a local hotel.
They'd checked out all the surrounding areas and the hotels were all full.
Finally they come to the last one and are desperate! They enter in to find that
the hotel is full! Desperate, the father tells the clerk "We'll take
anything you have, anything!! Please Mr. don't you have a room for us?"
The clerk felt really bad for the family and told the father "Sir, we do
happen to have just one room left. We don't normally let people stay in it
though. It's haunted. Everyone that has stayed always disappears in the middle
of the night without so much as a goodbye or even paying their bill!" The
father says "Great!! We'll take it! You see, I don't believe in all that
ghost rubbish anyhow!" He takes the key and they go off into the old hotel
room. Seeing as how the family was so tired from their travel, the family
decided to order out for pizza. The pizza finally arrives and the mother gets
the pizza and sits it on the counter. The little baby was so hungry!! He
watched that pizza the whole time! Mom announced "Everyone it's time to
wash up for dinner!!" So off to the bathroom Mom goes to wash her hands
for dinner. She enters into the bathroom, turns on the sink and a horribly
scary voice can be heard...
"BLOOOOOODYYYYYYYY FINNNNNNNNGGGERRRRRR"
It scares the mom so badly that
she jumps out the bathroom window and
runs away! Never to be seen again!
After a few minutes the father starts to wonder where the mother is, so he
tells the kids he'll go find out so that they can take their turn in the
bathroom and then eat the pizza.
He goes into the bathroom, turns
on the sink and hears that same scary
voice "BLOOOOOOODYYYYYY FIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGERRRRR"
He gets so scared that he runs
to the window, jumps out never to be seen
again.
After a few minutes the brother starts to wonder where Mom and Dad went. He
goes into the bathroom to check on them. He walks over to the sink, turns on
the water and hears "BBBBLLLLLLOOOODDDDYYYY FIIINNNNNNGGGERRRRR"
(getting louder and louder each time it's said)
He runs to the window and jumps
out, never to be seen again.
The sister starts to wonder where everyone has gone to. She goes into the
bathroom to check things out. Once in the bathroom she decides to wash up. She
walks to the sink, turns on the water and hears a scary voice
"BBBBLLLLLLOOOODDDDYYYYY FFIIINNNNGGGGEEERRRRR" (getting louder each
time it's said)
She's so scared that she runs to
the bathroom window and jumps out,
never to be seen again.
Ok...so all that's left is the baby, he's pretty upset that everyone has left
him alone and he can't even reach that delicious pizza himself! He's going to
tell them exactly what he thinks about it too! JUST as soon as he can find
them. He crawls into the bathroom to see where everyone has gone. First he
opens the door...nothing...he crawls over to the sink...still nothing....."Hmm"
he thinks to himself...THEN he hears it! The scary, scary
voice..."BLLLLOOODDDDYYY FIIINNNNNGGERRRRR" The baby, frustrated,
looks around ..."BLLLLOOODDDDYYY FIIINNNNNGGERRRRR" (much louder this
time!) the baby just sits there,..."BLLLLOOODDDDYYY FIIINNNNNGGERRRRR
(VERY loud)
Finally the baby says just as loud
and very frustrated "AWWWW Stick
a BANDAID ON IT!" he shouts!
Stirring
and stirring and
stirring our brew. (Pretend
to stir.)
Wooooooo! Woooooo!... (Cup
hands by mouth.)
Stirring and stirring and stirring our brew... (Stir.)
Wooooooo! Wooooo! (Cup
hands by mouth.)
Tip-toe. Tip-toe. BOO! (Pretend
to tip-toe.)
Dem Bones (Gonna Rise Again)
– Negro Spiritual
The Lord He thought He'd make a man
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
So he took a little water and he took a little sand
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
Chorus:
I know it know it,
indeed I know it brother
I know it - whee! -
dem bones are gonna rise again
Now Adam he was terribly blue
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
He didn't know exactly what to do
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
So the lord took a rib from Adam’s side
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And He made Miss Eve to be his bride
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
He put them in a garden fair
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
He thought they'd be most happy there
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
Apples, peaches, pears and such
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
But of this tree you must not touch
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
Now Eve took a walk by the tree one day
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And a serpent popped up in her way
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"Now, Eve, this fruit tastes mighty fine"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"Just take one, the lord won't mind"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
So Eve took a pick and then took a pull
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And then she filled her apron full
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
Now Adam and Eve they tried to hide
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
But the lord looked down, and them he spied
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"Now Adam you must leave this place"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
"And earn your livin' by the sweat of your face"
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
So Adam took a pick
and then took a plow
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
And that's why we're all workin' now!
(Dem bones are gonna rise again)
A Chilling Poem – Author Unknown
I'm not afraid of
snakes, or toads, or bugs, or worms, or mice,
The things that girls are scared of, I think are awful nice.
I'm pretty brave, I guess; And yet I hate to go to bed,
For, when I'm tucked up warm and snug and when my prayers are said,
Mother tells me "Happy dreams!" and takes away the light,
And leaves me lying all alone and seeing things at night.
Sometimes they're in
the corner, sometimes they're by the door,
Sometimes they all just creep and crawl across the bedroom floor;
Sometimes they come when I'm asleep, sometimes when I'm awake
So softly and so silently, they make me scream and shake.
Sometimes they are as black as ink, and other times they're white
But colour makes no difference when you're seeing things at night.
Once, Mother caught
me being bad, fighting in the street,
And Father sent me up to bed without a bite to eat.
I heard some noises in the dark and up my ears did prick
Those things were gathered all around and planning something sick.
I was so very scared that time, I got an awful fright
It's always when I'm bad that I start seeing things at night.
Lucky thing I'm not a
girl, or I'd be scared to death.
Since I'm a boy, I duck my head and then I hold my breath.
When I hear something horrible, crawling up the stairs
I promise to be better and I always say my prayers.
I'm certain that's the only way that I can make it right
When I've been very wicked and start things at night!
And so, when other
evil kids tempt and coax me into sin,
I try to squash the devil's voice that urges me within.
At night the things creep closer and they aren't very nice,
They want to eat me up without even thinking twice!
Eventually these evil things will drag me out of sight
I hope I don't keep doing wrong, and seeing things at night!
Chorus:
All night, all day
Angels watching over
me my Lord
All night, all day
Angels watching over
me
As I lay me down to
sleep
Angels watching over
me my Lord
Pray the lord my soul
to keep
Angels watching over
me
If I die before I wake
Angels watching over
me my Lord
Pray the Lord my soul
to take
Angels watching over
me
Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lake,
From the hill,
From the stars.
All is well,
Safely rests,
God is nigh.
