It's Halloween by Jack Prelutsky on Local

It's Halloween

 * It's Halloween! It's Halloween
 * The moon is full and bright
 * And we shall see that can't be seen
 * On any other night:
 * Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,
 * Grinning goblins fighting duels,
 * Werewolves rising from their tombs,
 * Witches on their magic brooms
 * In masks and gowns
 * we haunt the street
 * And knock on doors
 * for trick or treat.
 * Tonight we are
 * the king and queen,
 * For oh tonight
 * it's Halloween!

Skeleton Parade

 * The skeleton are out tonight,
 * They march about the street
 * With bony bodies, bony heads
 * And bony hands and feet.
 * Bony bony bony bones
 * with nothing in between,
 * Up and down and all around
 * They march on Halloween.

The Tricksters

 * Three Halloween tricksters are we--
 * My sister, my brother and me.
 * We roam through the streets
 * Playing tricks, getting treats--
 * Three Halloween tricksters are we.
 * Sister's a witch dressed in black,
 * Brother wears bones front and back,
 * I'm a ghost with no face
 * In an old pillowcase--
 * Three Halloween tricksters are we.
 * We are scary as scary can be--
 * My sister, my brother and me.
 * We frighten each other,
 * We even scare mother--
 * Three Halloween tricksters are we.

Pumpkin

 * We bought a fat orange pumpkin,
 * The plumpest sort they sell.
 * We neatly scooped the inside out
 * And only left the shell.
 * We carved a funny funny-face
 * Of silly shape and size,
 * A pointy nose, a jagged mouth
 * And two enormous eyes.
 * We set it in a window
 * And we put a candle in,
 * Then lit it up for all to see
 * Our jack-o'-lantern grin.

Countdown

 * There are ten ghosts in the pantry,
 * There are nine upon the stairs,
 * There are eight ghosts in the sttic,
 * There are seven on the chairs,
 * There are six within the kitchen,
 * There are five along the hall,
 * There are four upon the ceiling,
 * There are three upon the wall,
 * There are two ghosts on the carpet,
 * Doing things that ghosts will do,
 * There is one ghost right behind me
 * Who is oh so quiet...
 * BOO!

The Goblin

 * There's a goblin as green
 * As a goblin can be
 * who is sitting outside
 * and is waiting for me.
 * When he knocked on my door
 * And said softly, "Come play!"
 * I answered, "No thank you,
 * Now please, go away!"
 * But the goblin as green
 * As a goblin can be
 * Is still sitting outside
 * And is waiting for me

Treat

 * Tirck or treat,
 * trick or treat,
 * give us something
 * good to eat.
 * Give us candy,
 * give us cake,
 * give us something
 * sweet to take.
 * Give us cookies.
 * fruit and gum,
 * Hurry up and
 * give us some.
 * You had better
 * do it quick
 * or we'll surely
 * plsy a trick.
 * Trick or treat,
 * trick or treat,
 * give us something
 * good to eat.

Bobbing for Apples

 * Watch us bobbing for an apple,
 * For an apple apple apple,
 * But no apple apple apple,
 * Not an apple can I get.
 * Oh I cannot catch an apple,
 * Not one apple apple apple.
 * Though my sister got an apple,
 * All I got was soaking wet.

Haunted House

 * There's a house upon the hilltop
 * We  will not so inside
 * For that is where the witches live,
 * Where ghosts and goblins hide.
 * Tonight they have their party,
 * All the lights are burning bright,
 * But oh we will not go inside
 * The haunted house tonight.
 * The demons there are whirling
 * And the spirits swril about.
 * They sing their songs to Halloween.
 * "Come join the fun," they shout
 * But we do not want to go there
 * So we run with all our might
 * And oh we will not go inside
 * The haunted house tonight.

Black Cat

 * A cat as black
 * As blackest coal
 * Is out upon
 * His midnight stroll.
 * His steps are soft,
 * His walk are soft,
 * His eyes are gold,
 * They flash and glow.
 * And so I run
 * And so I duck
 * I do not need
 * His black-cat luck.

Ghost

 * I saw a ghost
 * that stared and stared
 * And I stood still
 * and acted scared.
 * But that was just
 * a big pretend.
 * I knew that ghost...
 * ...it was my friend!

Happy Halloween

 * It's late and we are sleepy,
 * The air is cold and still.
 * Out Jack-o'-lantern grins at us
 * Upon the window sill.
 * We're stuffed with cake and candy
 * and we've had a lot of fun,
 * But now it's time to go to bed
 * And dream of all we've done.
 * We'll dream of ghosts and goblins
 * And of witchs that we've seen,
 * And we'll dream of trick-or-treatinf
 * On this happy Halloween.
