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
TRICK OR TREAT TRICK OR TREAT
Trick or treat At HALLOWEEN
OU OU TRICK OR TREAT
Trick or treat At HALLOWEEN
