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!"
