Joy to the world; it's Halloween.
The night of fright has come!
This time of year we wait.
We hope he won't be late.
The Great Pumpkin will come,
The Great Pumpkin will come,
The Great, The GREAT Pumpkin will come.
He rules the world, on Hallow's Eve.
He's coming here tonight.
Let's go into the pumpkin patch
They'll put us in the booby hatch,
But we will have such fun,
But we will have such fun,
But we, But we will have such fun.
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!
O skeletons! O skeletons!
Rattle in my closet.
O skeletons! O skeletons!
Rattle in my attic.
Let them know, the day is here,
When your spirit will appear.
O skeletons! O skeletons!
Rattle through the graveyard.
God rest ye merry spirits, let nothing you dismay.
Witches stirring bubbling cauldrons, smelling of decay.
To give you all to Satan's po'er
before the break of day.
Oh tidings of horror and fright,
Horror and fright!
Oh tidings of horror and fright.
God rest ye merry skeletons, let nothing you affright.
The spirits and the de-emons are coming out tonight!
To frolic in the witching hour before the morning's light.
O-oh omens of e-evil and blood,
Evil and blood!
O-oh o-omens of e-evil and blood.
Spooky Night, Halloween Night,
All is cold, nothing's right.
Round yon pumpkin's glowing display.
Singing songs to scare you away.
Sing in devilish glee-ee.
Singing in devilish glee.
The First Halloween
The spirits did scream
At the children in costumes
Who stole all the treats.
"Go away, go away!"
The spirits did say.
"You're taking our business,
So come back in May!"
We three ghosts of Halloween are
Scaring kids who wander too far.
Trick or treating, candy eating,
Watching the Halloween Star.
Oh...oh...
Star of darkness, star of fright.
Star of every gruesome sight.
West winds howling, cat's a-yowling,
Let us play some tricks tonight!
Dashing through the streets,
Meeting goblins as we go,
Wearing contour sheets,
Wishing it would snow.
Bells in doorways ring,
Filling you with fright,
What fun it is to come and sing
And get some food tonight.
Trick or treat, trick or treat, trick or treat we say!
Give us Snickers, Butterfingers, Twix and Milky Way!
Trick or treat, trick or treat, trick or treat we say!
If you don't have treats for us we'll never go away!
Ghosties we have heard on high,
Groaning horribly o'er the plains.
And the witches in reply,
Cacklin' their eerie strains:
[Chorus]
Boooooooooooooooooooooo
On this Halloween Night we cry:
Boooooooooooooooooooooo
On this Halloween Night we cry.
Spirits why this jubilee?
Why your ghastly tunes prolong.
What these gruesome tidings be,
Which inspire your evil song.
[Chorus]
See the goblins rise before us,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
As we sing the Halloween chorus,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow them as they ascend,
fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Join with all your loony friends,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
Oh, you better not shriek, you better not groan,
You better not howl, you better not moan.
The Grim Reaper is coming to town!
He's gonna find out from folks that he meets,
Who should have arsenic put in their treats.
Grim Reaper is coming to town!
He'll search in every graveyard,
Haunted houses far and near,
To see if you should stay alive,
Or die right here in fear!
So, you better not shriek, you better not groan,
You better not howl, you better not moan.
The Grim Reaper is coming to town!
On the First Day of Halloween, my Swamp Thing gave to me:
A hoot owl in a dead tree.
Two trick or treaters,
Three black cats,
Four skeletons,
Five Snickers bars,
Six goblins gobbling,
Seven pumpkins glowing,
Eight monsters shrieking,
Nine ghosts a-booing,
Ten ghouls a-groaning,
Eleven masks a-leering,
Twelve bats a-flying.
Screech owls hoot, are you listening?
'Neath the moon, all is glistening.
A real scary sight,
we're happy tonight.
Waitin' in a spirit wonderland.
In the streets, we're begging for some candy.
We've been waiting for this night all year.
We've tried to embarrass everybody,
And to make a costume filling you with fear.
Later on, while we're eating
What we got trick or treating.
We'll share all our sacks
Of Halloween snacks,
Waitin' in a spirit wonderland.
We're on sidewalks, we're on porches,
Dressed in costumes to scare.
Through the city we're ringing the doorbells.
Trick or treating, candy eating,
Gooey stuff in our hair,
But the most fun is shrieking out loud:
Shivery yells! Shivery yells!
It's Halloween; time for screaming.
Moan and Groan. Leave us alone.
Halloween's just once a year.
Oh little backyard pumpkin patch,
how still we see thee lie.
It's Halloween and we have seen
the Great Pu-u-mpkin go by.
While in the dark streets runneth
some trick-or-treating youth,
with bulging sacks of treats and snacks
from Twix to Baby Ruth.
Let's go trick-or-treating along the streets of town!
(But watch out for the werewolves that hunt when sun is down)
Fear and fun come to you, and to you good candy too
Just remember the other kids who went did not come back,
Just remember that they did not come back.
We are not normal carolers who sing on Christmas Eve
But we are friendly SWILfolk with songs you won't believe.
Give us Mounds-Snickers too-or we'll sing them all to you
And we wish you a frightening and happy Halloween
And we wish you a happy Halloween.
I saw three ghosts go sailing by
on Halloween, on Halloween.
I saw three ghosts go sailing by
on Halloween in the evening.
And they were holding skulls, all three....
on Halloween, on Halloween.
And they were holding skulls, all three....
on Halloween in the evening.
Three headless skeletons gave chase.....
on Halloween, on Halloween.
Three headless skeletons gave chase.....
on Halloween in the evening.
[slowly, grandly]
So let us all play trick-or-treat.....
on Halloween, on Halloween.
So let us all play trick-or-treat.....
on Halloween in the evening!
O come, all ye monsters
spirits, ghosts and goblins,
come to the pumpkin patch
on Ha-a-lloween.
Come and await him,
on this night of spookiness
O wait for the great pumpkin
O wait for the great pumpkin
O wait for the great pumpkin
Tri-ick or treat!
All Hallow's Eve, All Hallow's Eve,
Night of ghosts and goblins.
All Hallow's Eve, All Hallow's Eve,
Night of ghosts and goblins.
From door to door, we trick or treat
And then our candy we will eat
All Hallow's Eve, All Hallow's Eve,
How spooky are our costumes.
Witches cackling 'round an open fire.
Plague rats nibbling at your toes.
Banshee cries echo all through the mire
And folks dressed up in scary clothes.
Everybody knows
A pumpkin and some garlic cloves
Help to ward away the fright.
Tiny imps, with their eyes all aglow
will make it hard to sleep tonight.
They know there's undead on the way.
They multiply their number every time they slay.
And every mortal child is going to spy
To see if vampires really know how to fly.
And so we're offering this fearful phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although they've been killed many times, many ways
They're still looking for you
It's Halloween
ghosts can be seen
run through the street
shout "Trick or treat!"
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Doorbells will chime
...
one seems to hear
from everywhere
Voices of kids
screaming in fear
...
Music: Hark the Herald
Ooooh - the lurking werewolves howl,
warning us of fiends most fowl.
Music: The Dreidel Song
I have a Jack-o-lantern
I carved it yesterday
And when its smile is glowing
It scares people away
