01

Special Occasions

"Trick or Treat"

Double, double, toil and trouble,
Ghosts and goblins, watch out for trouble,
Knock on doors and yell "trick or treat,"
Halloween is here, time to be sweet.

02

Special Occasions

"The Witching Hour"

When the moon is full and the stars are bright,
And the bats come out to fly at night,
That's when the witches come out to play,
In their pointy hats and robes of grey.

03

Special Occasions

"Who's That Ghost?"

A ghostly figure floating by,
Whispering sounds and a mournful cry,
It's just a prank, so don't you fret,
A Halloween ghost, you won't forget.

04

Special Occasions

"Pumpkin Patch"

In the pumpkin patch, by the light of the moon,
We search for the best pumpkins to cut and hew,
We'll carve them up with ghoulish glee,
Making funny faces for all to see.

Special Occasions

Trick or Treat

Trick or treat, smell my feet
Give me something good to eat
If you don't, I don't care
I'll just play a trick, beware!

Ghosts and goblins, witches too
All come out to spook you
Halloween is so much fun
Let's play until the day is done

Candy, chocolate, lollipops
Fill up my bag, don't stop
Every house, every street
Trick or treat, smell my feet!

Special Occasions

The Halloween Night

The Halloween night is dark and still
As creatures roam with a strange thrill
In the moonlight, eerie and bright
It's time to put on your spooky fright

Skeletons rattle, mummies groan
Vampires lurk, they're not alone
Jack-o'-lanterns grin and flicker
As a witch swoops by with a cackle and snicker

It's the night when the dead come alive
And from their graves they begin to rise
But don't be afraid, just join the fun
Until the Halloween night is done

Special Occasions

Trick or Treat Tonight

Trick or treat tonight,
Ghosts and goblins in sight,
Creeping and crawling in the moonlight,
Making spooky sounds, what a fright!

Pumpkins glowing with eerie light,
Witches' hats and black cats in sight,
Vampires lurking in the shadows,
Skeletons dancing on the meadows.

Children dressed in costumes galore,
Knocking on doors, asking for more,
Candy and sweets, all kinds of treats,
Halloween is the best of feats.

Bats flying, owls hooting,
Monsters growling, mummies scooting,
Spiders hanging from the ceiling,
All of this, the night is revealing.

Trick or treat tonight,
Let's have some fun, it's alright,
As long as we stay safe and bright,
Happy Halloween to all, good night!
