“It’s Halloween!” by Chappell Kingsland (Sept. 2006)

Jack-O'-Lantern grins a fiery grin
Icy wind sends chills right through your skin
Spiders spin their webs to catch you in
Hallow, Halloween
Put your costume on and come with me
Out into the night where we will see
Ghosts and witches roaming through the streets
Hallow, Halloween - Hallow, Halloween
Darkness comes on Hallow, Halloween
Bats fly past the moon and block the light
Shadows drag the world into the night
Do you think you're ready for a fright?
Hallow, Halloween
Have you met a goblin face to face?
Or have you been bitten by a snake?
How fast can you run? Could you escape
Hallow, Halloween - Hallow, Halloween
Darkness comes on - Hallow, Halloween, Halloween!
Skeletons are dancing in a circle in the middle of the forest
Where the witches brew their potions that will turn you to a toad
And make you croak and croak and croak and then you hop along the ground
And eat some creepy crawly bugs and you look up and see that
[repeat]
It's Hallow…een!
What is real and what is make-believe?
Who can tell if things are what they seem?
Knowledge side by side with mystery
Hallow, Halloween
Some believe that when the body dies
That is not the end - the spirit will
Rise and live inside a new disguise
Hallow, Halloween - Hallow, Halloween
Darkness comes on Hallow, Halloween
It's Hallow…een!
