In the Spirit of Halloween

My favorite Halloween "carol"

There is a haunted house in town (in the town)
Where all the ghosties gather round (gather round)
Where the bats and cats and witches
keep the skeletons in stitches
as they sip their spider cider
in the haunted house
Beware, beware, beware, beware OH BEWARE
Watch out, be careful and take care, oh beware
'Cause the skeletons will get ya
and the witches they will keep you
if you dare to stay to long inside their haunted house!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! Splendid haunting to you all!!! :)

Here are other lyrics that I remember...

There is a haunted house in town (in the town)
Where ghosts and goblins can be found (can be found)
Oh don't you trick or treat
Or you're the one they'll eat
When the moon shines on the haunted house.

Oh the bats and cats and witches
Keep the skeletons in stitches
As they sip their spider cider
In the haunted house.

Here is a variation we used to sing...

There is a haunted house in town (in the town)
WHere all the walls are tumbling down (tumbling down)
Oh don't you trick or treat
Or you're the one they'll eat
When the moon shines on the haunted house.

Oh the bats and cats and witches
Keep the skeletons in stitches
As they sip their spider cider
In the haunted house.

Our version was:

Oh the bats and cats and witches

Keep the skeletons in stitches

As they sip their spider cider in the haunted house.

They're there, they're there, they're really there...really there.

Watch out, becareful and beware...oh beware.

Don't you trick or treat or you're the one they'll eat.

When the moon shines on the haunted house.

Eeeeeek!

Creeeeeeek!

So I look up Halloween songs in May...
This is what we sang in TX...
Thanks, Ms Newhouse (our music teacher)!

There is a haunted house in town (in the town)
Where all the walls are tumbling down (tumbling down)
Where the cobwebs hang
And the window shutters bang
And all the creatures gather round (gather round)

Where the cats and bats and witches
Keep the skeletons in stitches
As they sip their spider cider
In the haunted house.

They're there, they're there,
They're really there (really there)
Watch out, be careful
And beware (oh beware)
Don't you trick or treat
Or you're the one they'll eat
When the moon shines
On the haunted house (haunted house)!
