I’m dressing up for Halloween.
Big tall hat and eyes so green.
I’m dressing up on Halloween.
Wrapped in a sheet I won’t be seen.
Owwwwww!!!
Owwwwww!!!
Ow Ow Owwww!!
I’m a Crazy Witch
I’m a Crazy Witch — what will you put in my brew? This is a fantastic song to sing with your imaginative kids — get them to suggest all sorts of ingredients to add to the potion. You can also do actions (mime putting on a witches’ hat, mime stirring the potion) as you sing. A great song to get you in the mood for Halloween.

I’m a crazy witch stirring up my brew.
What will you give me to put in my stew?
Verses:

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said “Oh my it’s getting late.”
The second one said “There are witches in the air.”
The third one said “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said “Let’s run and run and run.”
The fifth one said “I’m ready for some fun!”
OOOhh OOOhh went the wind
and out went the lights
and the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
Walking in the Night
It’s Halloween night, the scariest night of the year to go walking in the night! Enjoy this great Halloween Song from Howdytoons, a repeat-after-me singalong that your kids will love.
Lyrics: I Went Walking In The Night

1. I went walking in the night.
Then I saw such a scary sight –
I saw a witch standing there with a big black hat,
And at her feet was a scary black cat.
So I run and I run to get back to my house,
And I hide in my bed like a scared little mouse.
2. I went walking in the night.
Then I saw such a scary sight.
I saw an owl in a tree – it could see me too!
Then all it said was hoot hoot hoot!!
There were bats all around and a grey wolf howled,
And the sound he made was just like OWWWWW!!
3. I went walking in the night.
Then I saw such a scary sight.
I saw a ghost standing there, it shrieked and squealed.
But I’m not afraid ‘cause that ghost ain’t real!
It’s my friend with a sheet; I can be one too.
Now I am the ghost and I’ll scare you!!
Now I am the ghost and I’ll scare you!! Boo!!
Other fun songs that are great for Halloween!
Pumpkin Pumpkin
(Use the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for a pumpkin twist!)
Pumpkin, pumpkin big and round.
Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground.
With my finger, I will trace,
A smile upon your orange face.
Pumpkin, pumpkin big and round.
Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground.
I Shut the Door
I shut the door and I lock it tight.
Then I put the key right out of sight.
Then I take the key to unlock the door.
And I turn and I turn and I turn some more.
And then I open the door.
CREEEEEEEAAAAAK!
The Very Scary Spider
(The classic song Itsy Bitsy Spider becomes a Halloween treat! Words: Mike Whitla)
The very scary spider went up the water spout.
Down came the goo – it made me want to shout.
Then out came the moon and scared us all away.
The very scary spider will come another day.
