Pumpkin Song
(Tune: Mary had a Little Lamb)

Twinkle, Twinkle Candlelight
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Hi Ho for Halloween
(Tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

A goblin in the dell,
A goblin in the dell,
Hi Ho for Halloween
A goblin in the dell!
The goblin takes a witch…
The witch takes a cat…
The cat takes the bat…
The bat takes the owl…
The owl takes the ghost…
They’re all in the dell…
The ghost stands alone…

Halloween is All Around
(Tune: London Bridge)

Halloween is all around,
All around, all around.
Once a year it’s always found
All around us!
Underneath a harvest moon,
Harvest moon, harvest moon.
Cats are crooning out of tune.
All around us!
Witches boil their bubbly brew,
Bubbly brew, bubbly brew.
Making mischief as they do.
All around us.
Owls are blinking in the breeze,
In the breeze, in the breeze.
Hooting from the tallest trees,
All around us!
All in all it’s quite a sight,
Quite a sight, quite a sight.
‘Cause it’s Halloween tonight,
All around us.

Deck the Halls
(Tune: Deck the Halls)

Deck the halls with poison ivy,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be slimy,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our strange apparel,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Troll the ancient Halloween carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
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.

Over the Graveyard
(Tune: Over the River)

Over the graveyard and through the tombs,
To the haunted house we go.
The ghosts are a fright,
This spooky night
So come and join the show.
Over the graveyard and through the tombs,
Just hear the dreadful cries,
The banshees howl,
The black cats yowl,
Their shrieking fills the skies.
Over the graveyard and through the tombs,
Where all the goblins meet,
Witches and ghouls
They are no fools,
They all yell "Trick or Treat!"
Over the graveyard and through the tombs,
The jack-o-lanterns gleam.
Bats fill the skies,
With glowing eyes,
Hooray! It’s Halloween!

Shivery Yells
(Tune: 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!"

SILVER PUMPKINS
(Silver Bells)

Silver Pumpkins, Orangy Pumpkins,
Dressed in Halloween style,
In the air there's a feeling of Halloween
Witches passing, goblins laughing
It's the night of Good News
And on every street corner your hear:
O Great Pumpkin, O Great Pumpkin,
It's Halloween in the city.
See Him come, He's the one
Soon it will be Halloween.

We Three Ghosts
(Tune: We Three Kings)

We three ghosts of Halloween are
Scaring kids who wander too far.
Trick or treating, candy eating,
Beware the Halloween star.
Oh……oh……..
Star of darkness, star of fright.
Star of every gruesome sight.
West winds howling, cats-a yowling,
Let us play some tricks tonight!

Spooky Night
(Tune: Silent Night)

Spooky night, Halloween night,
All is cold, nothing’s right.
Round yon pumpkin glowing away.
People singing in the doorway.
Sing in devilish glee-eee.
Singing in devilish glee.

This Old Ghost:
(Tune: This Old Man)

This old ghost, he played one,
He played peek-a-boo on the run.
With a Boo! Boo! Boo! And a clap, clap, snap!
This old ghost is a friendly chap.
This old ghost, he played two,
He played peek-a-boo in a shoe.
With a Boo! Boo! Boo! And a clap, clap, snap!
This old ghost is a friendly chap.
This old ghost, he played three,
He played peek-a-boo behind a tree.
With a Boo! Boo! Boo! And a clap, clap, snap!
This old ghost is a friendly chap.

Riding Witches
(Tune: Yankee Doodle)

A witch went riding on a broom
On a cold October evening.
She met a ghost and a big black cat,
And down her neck they were breathing.
"Jump up on my broom," she said,
"Let’s come out of hiding."
"Jump up on my broom," she said,
"And let’s all go a-riding!"

I Heard the Bells on Halloween
(Tune: I Heard the Bells on Christmas Eve)

I heard the bells on Halloween,
Their old familiar carols scream.
And wild and sweet
The world repeat
"The pumpkin season’s here again."
Then pealed the bells
More loud and strong:
"Great Pumpkin comes before too long,
The good will get,
The bad will fret,
The pumpkin season’s here."

I HEARD THE CHAINS ON HALLOWEEN
(I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day)

I heard the chains on Halloween
Their old familiar carols scream,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
The pumpkin season's here again.
Then peeled the chains more loud and strong
Great Pumpkin comes before too long.
The good will get
The bad will fret
The pumpkin season's here again.

The Twelve Days of Halloween
(Tune: The Twelve Days of Christmas)

On the first day of Halloween,
My swamp thing gave to me…
A owl in a dead tree.
Two trick-or-treaters.
Three black cats.
Four skeletons.
Five Snicker 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.

She’ll Be Riding on A Broomstick
(Tune: She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain)

She’ll be riding on a broomstick when she comes.
She’ll be riding on a broomstick when she comes.
She’ll be riding on a broomstick,
She’ll be riding on a broomstick,
She’ll be riding on a broom stick when she comes.
We will warm up the big black kettle when she comes.
We will warm up the big black kettle when she comes.
We will warm up the big black kettle,
We will warm up the big black kettle,
We will warm up the big black kettle when she comes.
She will cook small toads and spiders when she comes.
She will cook small toads and spiders when she comes.
She will cook small toads and spiders,
She will cook small toads and spiders,
She will cook small toads and spiders when she comes.
We will feed all the ghosts and goblins when she comes.
We will feed all the ghosts and goblins when she comes.
We will feed all the ghosts and goblins,
We will feed all the ghosts and goblins,
We will feed all the ghosts and goblins when she comes.

It’s October
(Tune: She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain)

It’s October and it’s time to have some fun, yee hah!
It’s October and it’s time to have some fun, yee hah!
Pickin’ apples up so high
For a fresh baked apple pie
It’s October and it’s time to have some fun, yee hah!
Oh, it’s time to head out to the pumpkin patch, yee hah!
Oh, it’s time to head out to the pumpkin patch, yee hah!
To the patch to choose a pumpkin
Dressed up like a country bumpkin
Oh, it’s time to head out to the pumpkin patch, yee hah!
We will all go trick or treatin’, yee hah!
We will all go trick or treatin’, yee hah!
Saying "Boo!" to those we meet
Getting lots of things to eat,
We will all go trick or treatin’ yee hah!

Trick or Treat
(Tune: Jingle Bells)

Dashing through the streets,
Meeting goblins as we go,
Wearing contour sheets,
Wishing it would snow.
Bells in doorways ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to come and sing,
And get some food tonight.
Trick or treat, trick or treat,
Trick or treat we say!
Try to get the treats before
The ghost takes us away!
Trick or treat, trick or treat,
Trick or treat we say!
If you don’t have treats for us—
We’ll never go away!

Rufus Jack-o-Lantern
(Tune: Frosty the Snowman)

Rufus Jack-o-Lantern
Was a very scarey sight,
With triangle eyes, a twisted mouth,
And a huge hole for a nose.
Rufus Jack-o-Lantern
Is a ghost tale so they say,
But the children know how the story goes,
How he came to scare them one day.
There must have been some magic
In the candle mom put in him,
For when they struck a match to it,
He began to laugh at them.
Rufus Jack-o-Lantern
Was alive as he could be.
And the children say he could scream all day
Just like any banshee.

When I am Trick-or-Treating
(Tune: Sing a Song of Sixpence)

Up in the Pumpkin Patch

HARK! THE MIGHT PUMPKIN COMES!

Hark! The Mighty Pumpkin comes! With his bag of bubble gum,
Screams on earth, and torture mild, men and pumpkins reconciled.
Joyful, all ye goblins rise, Join the witches of the skies,
With mysterious voice proclaim, Pumpkin comes tonight again.
Hark the Mighty Pumpkin comes! With his bag of bubble gum.

Ten Little Witches
(Tune: Ten little Indians)

One little, two little, three little witches
Fly over haystacks, flyover ditches,
Slide down the moon without any hitches,
Hi-ho, Halloween's here!
Black cats fighting, time to go riding
Deep in the shadows black bats are hiding,
Giggling goblins sliding, gliding
Hi-ho, Halloween's here!
Stand on your head with a lopsided wiggle,
Tickle the black cats 'til they giggle,
Swish through the clouds with a "higgledy-piggle,"
Hi-ho, Halloween's here!

Another pumpkin carol
( sung to tune of Oscar Meyer Jingle)

Oh, I wish I were an orange jack-o'-lantern
That is what I'd really like to be
For it I were an orange jack-o'-lantern
Then all the kids would point and look at me

I just became an orange jack-o'-lantern
And now I am as happy as can be
'Cause now that I'm an orange jack-o'-lantern
Everyone looks and laughs at me

I wish I weren't an orange jack-o'-lantern
Oh why'd I ever want a thing like this?
'Cause now I'm not an orange jack-o'-lantern
I'm just an orange smashed up giant mess

I’ve Been Working on My Costume
(Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad)

Boo!
(Tune: Are You Sleeping?)

Spirit Wonderland
(Tune: Winter Wonderland)

Screech owls hoot, are you listening?
‘Neath the moon, all is glistening.
A real scary night, we’re happy tonight.
Waitin’ in a spirit wonderland.
Black cats yowl, can you hear ‘em?
Ghosties howl, don’t you fear ‘em?
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 eatin’
What we got trick or treatin’
We’ll share all our sacks
Of our Halloween snacks,
Waitin’ in a spirit wonderland.
(Repeat last two verses)

The Ghost
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Silent creeps the ghost
All around the house.
Moaning and moaning and moaning and moaning…
Creeping like a mouse!

Boo! Boo! Boo! What Will We Do?
(Tune: Up on the Housetop)

All through the town floats monsters’ breath,
Scrams of horror, hints of death.
Down all the streets come the girls and boys
All dressed up for their haunting joys.
Boo! Boo! Boo! What will we do?
Boo! Boo! Boo! What will we do?
Try to enjoy this scary scene
And just relax, ‘cause it’s Halloween!
Witches and goblins now fill the air,
Spider crawl across your hair!
And everyplace that you try to hide,
Soon there’s a ghostie there by your side.
Boo! Boo! Boo! What will we do?
Boo! Boo! Boo! What will we do?
Try to enjoy this scary scene
And just relax, ‘cause it’s Halloween!
There is a chill about this night
Your head starts ting-a-ling with fright.
In jack-o-lanterns’ eerie glow
The vampires now start swooping low!
Boo! Boo! Boo! What will we do?
Boo! Boo! Boo! What will we do?
Try to enjoy this scary scene
And just relax, ‘cause it’s Halloween!

God Rest Ye Merry Sprits
(Tune: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)

God rest ye merry spirits, let nothing you dismay.
Witches stirring bubbling cauldrons,
smelling of decay.
To save you all from Satan’s po’er
before your hair turns gray.
Oh tidings of horror and fright,
Horror and fright.
Oh tidings of horror and fright!

O Skeletons!
(Tune: O Tannenbaum)

O skeletons! O skeletons! Rattle down my hallway!
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 your graveyard

O PUMPKIN CARDS
(Tune: O Tannenbaum)

O Pumpkin Cards! O Pumpkin Cards! Carry greetings to my friends.
O Pumpkin Cards! O Pumpkin Cards! Carry greetings to my friends.
Let them know the day is here, When Great Pumpkin will appear.
O Pumpkin Cards! O Pumpkin Cards! Carry greetings to my friends.

Now Sing We All
(Tune: Joy to the World)

Now sing we all
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 comes each year,
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.
Now sing we all,
It’s Halloween.

JOY TO THE PATCH
(Joy to the World)

Joy to the Patch! Great Pumpkin comes!
Let earth receive her treat.
Let every heart, prepare him room
And spooks and goblins sing,
And spooks and goblins sing,
And spooks and spooks and goblins sing.
Joy to the Patch! Great Pumpkin reigns!
Let ghosts their shrieks employ;
While fields and woods, shocks, leaves and corn,
Repeat the sounding screams,
Repeat the sounding screams,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding screams.

I’m a Little Spider
(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)

I’m a little spider,
Watch me spin.
If you’ll be my dinner,
I’ll let you come in.
Then I’ll spin my web to hold you tight,
And gobble you up in one big bite!

I’m Dreaming of the Great Pumpkin
(Tune: I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas)

I’m dreaming of the Great Pumpkin,
Just like I do this time of 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-lantern’s burn bright,
When the Great Pumpkin visits you tonight.

Humphrey the Blue-Nosed Pumpkin
(Tune: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

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!"

The Grim Reaper is Coming to Town
(Tune: Santa Claus is Coming to Town)

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!
You better not shriek, you better not groan,
You better not howl, you better not moan.
The Grim Reaper is coming to town!

In the Graveyard
(Tune: Clementine)

In the graveyard, in the graveyard,
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 looking very scary,
Sweet old monster, Frankenstein!

Ghosties We Have Heard On High
(Tune: 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:
Booooooooooooooooooooooo
Listen to our cry—
Booooooooooooooooooooooo
On this Halloween Night we cry.
Sprits why this jubilee?
Why your ghostly tunes prolong?
What these gruesome tidings be,
Which inspire your ghastly song?
Booooooooooooooooooooooo
Listen to our cry—
Booooooooooooooooooooooo
On this Halloween Night we cry.
(Repeat last verse and chorus)

I’m a Little Pumpkin
(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)

I’m a little pumpkin orange and round (hold arms in a circle)
Here is my stem (place fist on head)
Here is the ground (point down)
When I get all cut up (cut palm with opposite hand)
Don’t you shout! (shake head and point finger)
Just open me up (open top of head)
And scoop me out! (scoop out tummy)

13 Days of Halloween
(Tune: 12 Day of Christmas)

On the first day of Halloween
My postman brought to me…
A gho-o-oul in a dead tree.
Two walking muummies,
Three black cats,
Four spooky ghosts,
Five witches riding brooms,
Six hooting owls,
Seven scary pumpkins,
Eight freaky Franks,
Nine reapers reaping,
Ten skulls a-smoking,
Eleven coffins creaking,
Twelve skeletons a-dancing…

Before this could happen…

Yes, we’ll have a good time on Halloween night!

THE HALLOWEEN SONG
(Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)

Chester's roaming in an open patch;
Jack is stepping on his toes;
We're all waiting for Great Pumpkin to come
And we're dressed up in goblin clothes.
Everybody knows the goodies that Great Pumpkin brings
Help to make our "spirits" bright.
Pumpkin followers with flashlights aglow
Will keep their watch all through the night.
They know 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 our 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 patch is sincere!"
