Halloween Creatures Song – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Laaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!
What's that sound?
It's all around!
I see ten little witches
Dancing on the ground (((Let's count!)))
One, two, three, four, five
And they say, "Hee, hee, hee!"
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
And they say, "Hee, hee, hee!"
What's that sound?
It's all around!
I see ten little ghosts
Dancing on the ground (((Let's count!)))
One, two, three, four, five
And they say, "Boo!"
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
And they say, "Boo!"
What's that sound?
It's all around!
I see ten little monsters
Dancing on the ground (((Let's count!)))
One, two, three, four, five
And they say, "Ra, ra, ra!"
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
And they say, "Ra, ra, ra!"
What's that sound?
It's all around!
I see ten little vampires
Dancing on the ground (((Let's count!)))
One, two, three, four, five
And they say, "Ha, ha, ha!"
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
And they say, "Ha, ha, ha!"
What's that sound?
It's all around!
I see ten little werewolves
Dancing on the ground (((Let's count!)))
One, two, three, four, five
And they say, "Aroo!"
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
And they say, "Aroo!"
