Today's Songs

Deck the Halls with Poison Ivy
(sung to Deck the Halls)

Deck the halls with poison ivy,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
'Tis the season to be slimy,
fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our strange apparel,
fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Halloween carol,
fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the goblins rise before us,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
As we sing the Halloween chorus,
fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow them as they ascend,
fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Join with all your loony friends,
fa la la la la, la la la la.

 In the Graveyard
(sung to My Darling, Clementine)

In the graveyard,
In the graveyard
When the moon
Begins to shine
There's a doctor,
Crazy doctor
And his monster,
Frankenstein.

Oh, my monster,
Oh, my monster
Oh, my monster,
Frankenstein
You are very,
Very scary
Don't come near me,
Frankenstein.

  Halloweeny Spider
(sung to Eensy Weensy Spider)

The Halloweeny spider crawled in the witch's house.
In came the witch and swept the spider out.
Out came the moon and she rode off on her broom,
And the Halloweeny spider crawled in her house again.
