Halloween Songs
Ghoul Days, Ghoul Days
Ghoul Days, Ghoul Days, Goody goody ghoul days.
Ringing the bell of your neighbor’s place,
Hearing him yell at your funny face.
You were the greatest ghost I’ve seen;
I was the witch whose hair was green
And we haunted the house on Halloween
When we were a couple of ghouls.
There is a Haunted House in Town
There is a haunted house in town (in the town)
Where all the walls are tumbling down, (tumbling down)
Where the cobwebs hang and the window shutters bang,
And all the creatures gather ‘round.
Oh, the bats and cats and witches keep the skeletons in stitches as they
sip their spider cider in the haunted house.
They’re there, they’re there, they’re really there, (really there)
Watch out! Be careful and beware, (oh! Beware)
Don’t you trick or treat or you’re the one they’ll eat
When the moon shines on the haunted house.
EEK! CREAK!! SQUEAK!! SHRIEK!!!
Twinkle, Twinkle Candlelight
Twinkle, twinkle, candlelight, Make the Jack O’ Lantern bright,
Make it smile and make it glow, As from place to place we go,
Twinkle, twinkle, candlelight, Make the Jack O’ Lantern bright.
Twinkle, twinkle, candlelight, Make the Jack O’ Lantern bright,
Make it cheerful, make it beam, Fill it with a friendly gleam,
Twinkle, twinkle, candlelight, Make the Jack O’ Lantern bright.
It’s a Good Old Halloween
It’s a good old Halloween, It’s a good old Halloween,
All dressed up to have a ball, the tall and short and lean,
A funny face is every place, a ha! Ha! Holiday scene,
It certainly turned out to be a Good Old Halloween.
The Pumpkin on the Vine
The pumpkin on the vine, the pumpkin on the vine,
I picked the one that weighed a ton and that’s the one that’s mine.
I made two funny eyes, a mouth that’s oversize,
the other gook my mother took for baking pumpkin pies.
The pumpkin on the vine, the pumpkin on the vine,
Is now a Jack O’ Lantern and you ought to see him shine!
That Jack O’ Lantern of mine!
I’ve Been Working on my Costume
(Chorus)
I’ve been working on my costume, all the livelong day.
I’ve been working on my costume, Watch out! I’m on my way.
When you see me at your doorbell You’ll know what I mean—
I’ve been working on my costume, ‘Cause it’s Halloween.
Verse 1: Little bit of this, little bit of that,
itty bitty pillow to make me fat!
Wig upon my head, sheet from off my bed, All because it’s Halloween.
Verse 2: Crazy kind of nose, crazy kind of beard,
Don’t know what I am but I look weird! Paint is on my face,
Powder everyplace, All because it’s Halloween.
Verse 3: Aunt Matilda’s hat, Uncle Louie’s vest,
No one’s gonna know me from the rest!
Red pajama top, Mother’s kitchen mop, All because it’s Halloween.
Pumpkin Wonderland
Screech owls hoot, Are you list’nin? Beneath the moon,
all is glist’nin, A real scarry sight, we’re happy tonight,
Waitin’ in a pumpkin wonderland!
In the patch, we’re watching for Great Pumpkin, We’ve been waiting
for this night all year. For we’ve tried to be nice to everybody,
And to grow a pumpkin patch that is sincere!
Later on, while we’re eating, what we got, trick-or-treating,
we’ll share all our sacks, of Halloween snacks,
Waiting in a Pumpkin Wonderland!
The Great Pumpkin is Comin’ to Town
Oh, you better not shriek, You better not groan,
You better not howl, and You better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is comin’ to town!
He’s going to find out, from folks that he meets,
Who deserves tricks, and who deserves treats,
Great Pumpkin is comin’ to town!
He’ll search in every pumpkin patch, Haunted houses far and near,
To see if you’ve been spreading gloom or bringing lots of cheer.
So, you better not shriek, you better not groan,
you better not howl, you better not maon,
Great Pumpkin is comin’ to town!
The Halloween Song
Chester’s roaming in an open patch, Jack is stepping on his toes;
We’re all waiting for Great Pumpkin to come,
And we’ve dressed up in goblin clothes.
Everybody knows the goodies that Great Pumpkin brings,
Helps to make our “spirits” bright, Pumpkin followers with their
flashlights aglow, Will keep their watch all through the night.
They know that Great Pumpkin’s coming back.
He’ll bring a lot of toys and goodies in his sack.
And all the kids will gather in a batch,
When the Great Pumpkin rises out of the patch!
And so I’m offering this wise advice—
“You’re gonna grin from ear to ear,
On Halloween night when the Great One returns,
If your pumpkin patch is sincere!”
I’m Dreaming of the Great Pumpkin
I’m dreaming of the Great Pumpkin,
Just like I do this time each year.
When he brings nice toys, to good girls and boys,
Who wait for him to appear.
I’m dreaming of the Great Pumpkin,
With every pumpkin card I write.
May your Jack O’ Lanterns burn bright,
When the Great Pumpkin visits you tonight.
Shivery Yells
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, that’s the Halloween nitty-gritty,
moans and groans, leave us alone, Halloween’s just one night a year.
O Pumpkin Cards
O Pumpkin cards! O Pumpkin cards!
Carry greetings to my friends.
Let them know the day is here,
When the Great Pumpkin will appear.
O Pumpkin cards! O Pumpkin cards!
Carry greetings to my friends.
The Twelve Days of Halloween
On the first day of Halloween my true love gave to me,
An owl in a dead tree.
Two trick or treaters
Three black cats
Four skeletons
Five scary spooks
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.
Up in the Pumpkin Patch
Up in the pumpkin patch, witches pause.
Out jumps the great one; hear the applause?!
Down through the row, with goodies and toys,
All for his followers’, Halloween joys!
Haunt! Haunt! Haunt! Who wouldn’t want. Haunt! Haunt! Haunt!
Who wouldn’t want, to be in the pumpkin patch cheer, cheer, cheer!
Waiting for the great one and being sincere!
I Heard the Bells on Halloween
I heard the bells on Halloween, their old, familiar carols scream,
and wild and sweet the words repeat,
the pumpkin season’s here again.
Then peeled the bells more loud and strong,
Great Pumpkin comes before too long.
That good will get, the bad will fret,
the pumpkin season’s here again!
Deck the Patch
Deck the patch with orange and black, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Take along your goody sack, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, fa la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient pumpkin carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the great one rise before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
As we sing the pumpkin chorus, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow him as he ascends, Fa la la, fa la la, la la la.
Join with true great pumpkin friends, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Pumpkin Bells
Dashing through the streets, in our costumes bright and gay,
to each house we go, laughing all the way.
Halloween is here, making spirits bright, what fun it is to trick-or-treat
and sing pumpkin carols tonight: Oh, pumpkin bells! Pumpkin bells!
Ringing loud and clear.
Oh what fun Great Pumpkin brings when Halloween is here!
My Witches’ Brew
Witches, cats, and pumpkins too.
Stir them in my witches’ brew.
I’ve got MAGIC
Alakazam-kazoo OOOOO--My Witches’ brew OOOOO--What’s she gonna do to you! Booo!!
Spooky Spat
Spooky Spat all dressed in green, out for fun on Halloween
When the night owl called out “Who?”
Got so scared that he turned BLUE
Spooky Spat, Spooky Spat, Spooky is a fraidy cat!
I’m Not Scared
There’s something moaning in the old oak tree.
There’s something groaning in the old oak tree.
But I’m not scared for I’m safe inside,
I’m not scared, but I think I’ll hide.
There’s something sitting on the porch out there.
There’s something grinning on the porch out there.
But I’m not scared for I’m safe inside,
I’m not scared, but I think I’ll hide.
There’s something howling on the fence out there.
There’s something yowling on the fence out there.
But I’m not scared for I’m safe inside,
I’m not scared, but I think I’ll hide.
There’s something flying through the air.
On a broomstick gliding through the air.
But I’m not scared for I’m safe inside,
I’m not scared, but I think I’ll hide.
Oh My Darling Frankenstein
Oh my darling, oh my darling, Oh my darling Frankenstein.
You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Frankenstein.
I was working with my test tubes in my laboratory fine.
When one day I broke my glasses and I made poor Frankenstein.
He was charming, he was handsome, and I nailed his head on tight.
Oh his teeth were made of thumb tacks, and his eyes came out at night.
Frankenstein was in the kitchen, He was baking raisin cake.
When he fell into the mixer, and got mixed up by mistake.
Oh the cake, it was delicious, and the raisins tasted fine.
But those lumps weren’t really raisins, dreadful sorry Frankenstein.
