Halloween Flicker flicker shadow and light Our jack-o-lanterns brave the night Above the jittering sound Of chattering skulls The creaking sound of ghosts Rocking in their rocking chairs Six wild witches sweep the air With a whoosh and a swoosh Broomsticks fly across the moon Clattering and clanging like skeleton bones Rattling and ringing over our heads They're singing Clink clank they climb through space Like ghosts on clouds they glide and race With eeeks and squeaks Rat-faced black bats slide the night Wings sing and slip as they glide out of sight Black cats hump their backs And screech and scream It's Halloween! It's Halloween!
