On A Wild Halloween
Based On A Short Tune Found In "Heigh-Ho For Halloween!"
By Elizabeth Hough Sechrist (circa 1936)
New Music And Lyrics By Grant Raymond Barrett
Witches and goblins with jack-o-lanterns bright. Creep through
the town on a cold, October night. You hear the sound of running feet
where nothing can be seen, and the strangest things can happen on a
wild Halloween!
Out
in the street, merry children run about. Masks on their faces, they go
with noisy shout. They rap at every window pane where people may be
seen, and the strangest things can happen on a wild Halloween!
Halloween!
Halloween! Forget not your bag and broom. Halloween! Halloween! Venture
out into the gloom. Venture out into the gloom!
Ghosts,
in the darkness, have waited for this night. Longing to scare you and
fill you all with fright. They drag their chains and scream and howl.
Their eyes are glowing green, and the strangest things can happen on a
wild Halloween!
Werewolves
are hungry, their teeth are sharp and white. Claws clutching children.
Beware, they surely bite! They scratch at every wooden door to get
their Autumn treat, and the strangest things can happen on a wild
Halloween!
Halloween!
Halloween! Creeping, crawling from your tomb. Halloween! Halloween!
Turn the lights out in your room! Turn the lights out in your room!
Vampires
rising from coffins on this night. Looking for others to turn away from
light. The fangs that lust for something sweet. Be wary whom you greet,
and the strangest things can happen on a wild Halloween!
Devils
and demons, on pathways lurk around. Tempting and taunting the lone
ones they have found. They reach and grab without a sound, just like a
beast unbound, and the strangest things can happen on a wild Halloween!
Halloween!
Halloween! Look, and see the blood-red moon! Halloween! Halloween! Now,
the time, this night is through! Now, the time, this night is through!
