| All posted by Di (Snowflake) to GuidingUK Deck the Halls (Halloween version) 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. HALLOWEEN WONDERLAND tune: Winter Wonderland Doorbells ring, are you listenin'? Ding dong ding, are you listenin'? The lights are all out. There's no one about. Things aren't working out the way we planned. Last year they were giving out real money, Caramel apples, popcorn balls and gum. Are they gone or are they merely sleeping? Let's just keep on ringing till they come. Kids run by, we're still waiting. This is so aggravating. With no one in sight, We've wasted the night. Next time we'll just go where lights are on. DRESS YOURSELF SO YOU LOOK SCARY tune: Deck the Halls Dress yourself so you look scary, Fa la la la la la la la la Be something weird or something hairy, Fa la la la la la la la la Don we now our ghostly sheets, Fa la la la la la la la la Now it's time to eat our treats-- Fa la la la la la la la Aaaaaaugh!

The Grim Reaper 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 graveyeard, Haunted houses far and near, To see if you should stay alive, Or die right here in fear! So, you better not shriek, you better not groan, You better not howl, you better not moan. The Grim Reaper is coming to town! Spooky Night (to the tune of 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-ee. Singing in devilish glee. Shivery Yells (tune: Silver Bells) 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. "Moan and Groan. Leave us alone. Halloween's just one night a year." JOY TO THE WORLD (Halloween version.) Joy to the world, 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 rules the world, 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! OH HAUNTED HOUSE (tune: O Christmas Tree) Oh, haunted house, oh, haunted house The mansion stands so proudly. Oh, haunted house, oh, haunted house Its shutters bang so loudly. Its wooden staircase groans and creaks Its doors have lots of eerie squeaks Oh, haunted house, oh, haunted house The mansion stands so proudly. UP IN THE GRAVEYARD (tune: Up on the Housetop) Up in the graveyard on the hill, We get such a horrible chill. In such a spooky atmosphere, Waiting till goblins and ghosts appear. Moan, moan, moan Who wouldn't groan? Moan, moan, moan, Who wouldn't groan? Up in the graveyard on the hill If the ghosts don't getcha Then the goblins will!! Spirit Wonderland (to the tune of Winter Wonderland) Screech owls hoot, are you listening? 'Neath the moon, all is glistening. 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 eating What we got trick or treating. We'll share all our sacks Of Halloween snacks, Waitin' in a spirit wonderland. We Three Ghosts (to the tune of We Three Kings) We three ghosts of Halloween are Scaring kids who wander too far. Trick or treating, candy eating, Wandering in the Halloween Sky. Oh...oh... Sky of darkness, sky of fright. Sky of every gruesome sight. West winds howling, cat's a-yowling, Let us play some tricks tonight! Trick-or-Treat (to the tune of Jingle Bells) Dashing through the streets In our costumes bright and gay To each house we go Laughing all the way Halloween is here Filled with lots of cheer What fun it is to trick-or-treat And sing these songs each year 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! Dashing through the streets, Meeting goblins as we go, Wearing our bed sheets, Flashlights all a-glow! Bells in doorways ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to come and sing And get some sweets 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! |
