Wish I was an Orange Jack-o-Lantern

To tune of: Oscar Meyer Weiner Song

Oh I wish I was an orange Jack-O-Lantern,

That is what I really want to be,

For if I was an orange Jack-O-Lantern,

Everyone would laugh and smile at me!

Boo! It's Halloween

To tune of: Pop Goes the Weasel

Sometimes I like to walk in the dark,

I like to shout and scream,

I walk up behind somebody I know,

BOO! It's Halloween!

Halloween is...

To tune of: Oh My Darling Clementine

Halloween is such a fun time,

It's not scary, not for me,

I pretend I'm someone different,

It's as fun as fun can be.

If You're a Ghost...

To tune of: If You're Happy...

If you're a ghost and you know it just say Boo,

Boo!

If you're a ghost and you know it just say Boo,

Boo!

If you're a ghost and you know it

and you really want to show it

If you're a ghost and you know it

just say Boo!

Boo!


Additional Verses:

If you're a bat and you know it flap your wings,

If you're a vampire and you know it show your fangs,

If you're a werewolf and you know it give a howl!

Three Black Cats

To tune of: Three Blind Mice

Three black cats,

Three black cats,

In black hats,

In black hats,

They all jumped into the halloween stew,

To tease the ghosts and the goblins, too

Have you ever seen such a hulla-bal-lew?

As three black cats,

Three black cats.

Once there was a skeleton,
And Bones was his name, oh!

And Bones was his name, oh!

Once there was a skeleton,
And Bones was his name, oh!

One Little Ghost

One little ghost flew down the street.
(Wave hand through the air.)

"I wonder," he said, "what I will meet--
(Place finger to temple, thinking.)

One hairy spider,
(Hold up one finger, then move hand like spider.)

Two black cats,
(Hold up two fingers, then put two fingers from each hand on head for cat ears.)

Three wild witches with pointy hats,
(Hold up three fingers, then place fingertips of hands together to form hat.)

Four old owls in a hollow tree,
(Hold up four fingers, then form an oval with both hands for eyes to look through.)

And five brother bats to fly with me!
(Hold up five fingers, then hook thumbs of both hands together and flap fingers for bat wings.)

Halloweeny Spider

 
The Halloweeny spider crawled in the witches house. 
(creep fingers forward)

In came the witch, and swept the spider out! 
(sweep dramatically with broom)

Out came the moon and she rode off on her broom, 
(arms make the moon and then swoop with arms)

And the Halloweeny spider crawled in her house again. 
(creep fingers forward)

Five Little Witches

Five little witches standing by the door. 
(hold up five fingers) 

One flew out and then there were four. 
(Flying motion with hand) 

Four little witches standing by a tree. 
(four fingers) 

One went to pick a pumpkin and then there were three. 
(picking motion with three fingers) 

Three little witches stirring their brew.
(stir) 

One fell in and then there were two. 
(two fingers) 

Two little witches went for a run. 
(run with fingers) 

One got lost and then there was one. 
(one finger) 

One little witch, yes, only one. 
(one finger) 

She cast a spell and now there are none.
(make motions as if to cast spell and then put hands in lap).

Flying Witches

(Sing to the tune of “When the Saints Come Marching In”)
 
Oh, when the witches
Come flying by.
Oh, when the witches come flying by,
It will be Halloween night,
When the witches come flying by.

Old Mother Witch

Old Mother Witch is coming to town
Coming to town, coming to town
Old Mother Witch is coming to town
So early in the morning. 

This is the way she rides her broom...
This is the way she wears her hat...
This is the way she stirs her brew...
This is the way she pets her black cat...
This is where she has her wart...
This is how she scares you BOO...
Old Mother Witch is going away...

If I were a Witch

If I was a witch I would climb on my broom
And fly away with a zoom zoom zoom

(Show the children walking fingers and say this is your witch. Next show the children their pointer finger and say this is a broom. Then have them put their witch on their broom and make her fly)

Nasty Witch

I saw a nasty witch last night,
Sailing through the pale moonlight.
She whooped and zooped among the leaves,
She caused a fuss among the trees!
She landed right before my feet
And shouted at me, TRICK OR TREAT!

October Time

October time is pumpkin time,
The nicest time of the year. 

When all the pumpkins light their eyes
(encircle eyes) 

And grin from ear to ear.
(big grin) 

Because they know at Halloween
They'll have lots of fun, 

Peeking through the windowpanes
(put hands over eyes and look) 

Watching children run!

One Dark and Stormy Night

Late one dark and stormy night,
(use spooky voice)

Three little witches were stirring a pot,
(pretend to stir a pot)

Two little ghosts say, How d'ye do?
(lower voice)

Go tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe
(say in a whisper)

Boooooooooo!
(very loud)

Once there was a Pumpkin

(make a circle of people on the floor)

Once there was a pumpkin
(bring fingers of hands together)

And it grew,

And grew,
(slowly seperate hands)

And grew.
(join hands)

Now it's a jack-o-lantern

And smiles at you
(with a smile point to each other)
and you,
and you.

Jack-O-Lantern

I am a pumpkin, big and round
(make huge circle with arms)

Once upon the time I grew on the ground
(point to ground)

Now I have a mouth, two eyes, and a nose.
(point to each)

What are they for, do you suppose?
(scratch head)

When I have a candle inside shining bright
(hold up right index finger)

I'll be a Jack-O-Lantern on Halloween Night
(bragging gesture)

Pumpkin, Pumpkin

Pumpkin, pumpkin

Sitting on a wall
(place a fist on top of one arm)

Pumpkin, pumpkin

tip and fall
(fist 'falls' off arm)

Pumpkin, pumpkin
rolling down the street
(roll fist over fist)

Pumpkin, pumpkin

Trick or Treat!
