On Halloween Eve
On hallow's eve, the hinges groan
The floorboards creakand trapdoors crack.

The ancient spirits wail and moan, ...

Tonight Is The Night

When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky,
When elf and sprite

Just be prepared,
For tonight is ...

When witches go riding
When witches go riding,
and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween ...
