Pumpkins scowl from doorways,
Candles illuminate the night.
It's All Hallow's Eve,
Time for a good fright!
Witches walk with Princesses
Hero's stride with ghosts.
Dash from house to house,
See who can get the most.
Bright costumes and fake swords,
Morbidly delighted laughter.
Great big bowls of candy ensure
A sugar hang-over the day after.
It's getting late,
Time to head for bed.
Snuggle with teddy while
Visions of candy dance in their heads.
It's the Witching Hour
And all mortals are home.
Time for the creatures of the night
To have a party of their own.
