Pumpkin Bells
(Sung to Jingle 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 October brings,
When Halloween is here!
Pumpkin bells! Pumpkin bells!
Ringing loud and clear.
Oh, what fun October brings,
When Halloween is here!
The Halloween Party
(Sung to Mary Had a Little Lamb)
Pumpkins have such happy grins, happy grins, happy grins.
Pumpkins have such happy grins. It’s Halloween at last.
Cats have come with long, black tails, long, black tails, long, black tails.
Cats have come with long, black tails. It’s Halloween at last.
Ghosts have come to play today, play today, play today.
Ghosts have come to play today. It’s Halloween at last.
Witches have their witches’ brooms, witches’ brooms, witches’ brooms.
Witches have their witches’ brooms. It’s Halloween at last.
Shivery Yells
(Sung to Silver Bells)
We’re on sidewalks, we’re on porches,
Dressed in costumes to scare.
Through the city we’re ringing your 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.
Moan and groan leave us alone.
Halloween’s just once a year.
Ghosties We Have Heard on High
(Sung to Angels We Have Heard on High)
Ghosties we have heard on high,
Groaning horribly o’er the plains.
And the witches in reply,
Cacklin’ their own eerie strains:
Boooooooooooooooooooooo
Listen to our cry –
Boooooooooooooooooooooo
On this Halloween night we cry.
Spirits why this jubilee?
Why your ghostly tunes prolong?
What these gruesome tidings be,
Which inspire your ghastly song?
Repeat chorus.
