SAMHAIN HALLOWEEN SONG

I bet you're looking forward to Halloween Do you know, what it means?

Hallowed is saint and een means eve Has ancient roots, we believe

It dates way back, to Samhain A festival, meaning summers end

The Celts lit fires, costumes worn To ward of ghosts, never to return

Now It's all pumpkins, and what you can eat And how you can scare, who you meet

Carving lanterns and having fun It's a really great night for everyone

TRICK OR TREAT TRICK OR TREAT

Trick or treat At HALLOWEEN

Superstitions, there are plenty of these Some of them will give you trembling knees

Black cats, witches, broomsticks, bats Cauldrons, spiders, stepping on cracks

Now It's all pumpkins, and what you can eat And how you can scare, who you meet

Carving lanterns and having fun It's a really great night for everyone

TRICK OR TREAT TRICK OR TREAT

Trick or treat At HALLOWEEN

GHOSTS AND GHOULS EVERYWHERE ALL THEY EVER DO IS SCARE

YOU COULD BE THEIR NEXT FEAST You Better run from that BEAST

Now It's all pumpkins, and what you can eat And how you can scare, who you meet

Carving lanterns and having fun It's a really great night for everyone

TRICK OR TREAT TRICK OR TREAT

Trick or treat At HALLOWEEN

Ancient customs, sometimes fun Apple bobbing is just one

Did you, get, the first bite?

It could be your wedding night

Now It's all pumpkins, and what you can eat And how you can scare, who you meet

Carving lanterns and having fun It's a really great night for everyone
