Pumpkin Carols
12 Days of Halloween |
Deck the Halls |
On the first day of Halloween | Deck the halls with poison ivy, |
My Swamp Thing gave to me | Fa la la la la, la la la la. |
A hoot owl in a dead tree. | Tis the season to be slimy, |
Fa la la la la, la la la la. | |
Two trick or treaters, | Don we now our strange apparel, |
Three black cats, | Fa la la, la la la, la la la. |
Four skeletons, | Troll the ancient Halloween carol, |
Five Snicker bars, | Fa la la la la, la la la la. |
Six goblins gobbling, | |
Seven pumpkins glowing, | See the goblins rise before us, |
Eight monsters shrieking, | Fa la la la la, la la la la. |
Nine ghosts a boo-ing, | As we sing the Halloween chorus, |
Ten ghouls a-groaning, | Fa la la la la, la la la la. |
Eleven masks a-leering, | Follow them as they ascend, |
Twelve bats a-flying, | Fa la la, la la la, la la la. |
Join with all your loony friends, | |
Trick or Treat ("Jingle Bells") | Fa la la la la, la la la la. |
Dashing through the streets, | |
Meeting goblins as we go, | Shivery Yells ("Silver Bells) |
Wearing contour sheets, | We're on sidewalks, we're on porches, |
Wishing it would snow. | Dressed in costumes to scare. |
Through the city we're ringing the doorbells. | |
Bells in doorways ring, | Trick or treating, candy eating, |
Making spirits bright, | Gooey stuff in our hair, |
What fun it is to come and sing | But the most fun is shrieking out loud, |
And get some food tonight. | "Shivery yells! Shivery yells!" |
That's the Halloween nitty-gritty. | |
Trick or treat, trick or treat, | Moan and groan, leave us alone. |
Trick or treat we say! | Halloween's just once a year. |
Try to get the treats before | |
The ghosts scare us away! | Spooky Night ("Silent Night") |
Trick or treat, trick or treat, | Spooky night, Halloween night, |
Trick or treat we say! | All is cold, nothing's right. |
If you don't have treats for us | Round yon pumpkin glowing away. |
We'll never go away! | People singing in the doorway. |
Sing in devilish glee-ee | |
The First Halloween | Sing in devilish glee. |
The first Halloween | |
The parents did scream | God Rest Ye Merry Spirits |
At the children in costumes | God rest ye merry spirits, |
Who stole all their treats. | Let nothing you dismay. |
Witches stirring bubbling cauldrons, | |
"Go away, go away!" | Smelling of decay. |
The spirits did say. | To save you all from Satan's Po'ers |
"You're taking our business, | Before your hair turns gray. |
So come back in May!" | Oh, tiding of horror and fright, |
Horror and fright! | |
We Three Ghosts | Oh, tidings of horror and fright. |
We three ghosts of Halloween are | |
Scaring kids who wander too far. | Spirit Wonderland |
Trick or treating, candy eating. | Screech owls hoot, are you listening? |
Watching the Halloween star. | 'Neath the moon, all is glistening, |
A real scary sight, we're happy tonight. | |
Oh...oh... | Waitin' in a spirit wonderland. |
Star of darkness, star of fright. | In the streets we're begging for some candy. |
Star of every gruesome sight. | We've been waiting for this night all year. |
West winds howling, cat's a -yowling, | We've tried to embarrass everybody, |
Let us play some tricks tonight! | And to make a costume filling you with fear. |
O Skeletons! | Later on, while we're eating |
O skeletons, O skeletons! | What we got, trick or treating. |
Rattle down my hallway! | We'll share all our sacks |
O skeletons, O skeletons! | Of Halloween snacks, |
Rattle in my attic. | Waitin' in a spirit wonderland. |
Let them know, the day is here, | Joy to the World |
When your spirit will appear. | Joy to the world, it's Halloween. |
O skeletons, O skeletons! | The night of fright has come! |
Rattle through your graveyard. | This time of year we wait. |
We hope he won't be late. | |
Humphrey the Blue Nosed Pumpkin | The Great Pumpkin will come. |
Humphrey the blue nosed pumpkin | The Great Pumpkin will come. |
Had a very obvious nose. | The Great ,the GREAT Pumpkin will come. |
And if you ever saw it, | |
You might even say it shows. | He rules the world, |
All of the other pumpkins, | On Hallow's Eve. |
Used to laugh and call him names. | He's coming here tonight. |
They never let poor Humphrey | Let's go into the pumpkin patch |
Play in any pumpkin games. | They'll put us in the booby hatch, |
But we will have such fun, | |
Then one foggy Halloween Eve, | But we will have such fun, |
The Great Pumpkin did say, | But we , but we will have such fun! |
"Humphrey, with your nose so blue, | |
You'll make all the ghosts say BOO!" | I'm Dreaming of the Great Pumpkin |
I'm dreaming of the great pumpkin | |
Then all the pumpkins loved him, | Just like I do this time each year |
And they shouted out with glee | When she brings nice toys |
Humphrey, the blue nosed pumpkin | To good girls and boys |
You'll go down in history! | Who wait for her to appear |
I'm dreaming of the great pumpkin | |
With ev'ry pumpkin card I write | |
May your jack-o-lantern burn bright | |
When the Great Pumpkin visits you tonight. |
