(song)
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you,
but when the leaves hang trembling down
The wind is passing throough.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I,
But when the trees bow down their heads
the wind is passing by.
(verse)
Oh, a witch, she loves the wind,
as it carries her through the sky.
On her broomstick she rides
with bats by her side.
Such a sight on Halloween night!
On Halloween night, if we listen long
We may hear an impish goblin’s song.
(song)
Ala mala mink monk, tink tonk toozy
Oozy voozey aggardy, ah! vah! vack!
(verse)
Oh, goblins, they love to dance;
They laugh, they wriggle, they scream!
Then they stand quite still
and wait for a chill
in the air on Halloween.
Now we’ve seen our goblins and witches
Let’s return to our cozy home,
Where something sits on the window,
With its face all aglow.
My face is round
I make no sound
My light shines bright
On Halloween night
Who am I? (A Jack-O-Lantern!)
(song)
Jack-o-lantern, jack-o-lantern, how your light it does shine
Sitting up, up on the window, and your light it is mine.
You were once an orange pumpkin growing on a pumpkin vine
Now you are my jack-o-lantern, let your little light shine.
(verse)
Even witches and goblins they need their rest
Bats, rats, and cats all sleep
Though when darkness clings all around our beds
In our hearts, a light we keep
(song)
On tip-toe comes the gentle dark
Hmm-hmm, to help the children sleep
And silently on silver paths, Hmm-hmm
The slumber fairies creep
