SONGS:

We're Not Afraid
Sung to: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"

Ghosts and goblins, cats and bats,
We're not afraid of this or that.
They are only make-believe,
Funny costumes on Halloween.
Ghosts and goblins, cats and bats,
We're not afraid of this or that.

Halloween Surprise
Sung to: Sing a Song of Sixpence

First you take a pumpkin
Big and fat and round
Then you cut the top off
That will make a hat
Then you hollow out the
Nose and mouth and eyes
Now you have a Jack-O-Lantern
Halloween Surprise!

Oh, you'd better not shriek,
You'd better not groan,
You'd better not howl,
You'd better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!

He's gonna find out
From folks that he meets
Who deserves tricks
And who deserves treats.
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!

He'll search in every pumpkin patch,
Haunted houses far and near
To see if you've been spreading gloom,
Or bringing lots of cheer.

Oh, you'd better not shriek,
You'd better not groan,
You'd better not howl,
You'd better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!

My true love gave to me
An owl in a rotten oak tree

On the second day of Hallowe'en
My true love gave to me
Two trick or treaters
And an owl in a rotten oak tree

On the third day of Hallowe'en
My true love gave to me
Three black cats
Two trick or treaters
And an owl in a rotten oak tree

On the fourth day of Hallowe'en
My true love gave to me
Four skeletons
Three black cats
Two trick or treaters
And an owl in a rotten oak tree

Lyrics The Addams Family 

They're creepy and they're kooky, Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky, The Addams Family.
Their house is a museum Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream--The Addams Family.
(Neat) (Sweet) (Petite)
So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on The Addams Family.

tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How'd you get so big and round
Planted as a seed so small
Now you are a great big ball
Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How'd you get so big and round

Lyrics - Monster Mash 

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

CHORUS - (change pronouns (he, they, she) as needed)
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

REPEAT CHORUS HERE

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

REPEAT CHORUS

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

REPEAT CHORUS

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

REPEAT CHORUS
