HALLOWEEN DAY
Lets listen to a song!

Do you know about a day

Thats not so very far away?
Everywhere theres orange and black,
And chills are running up your back.
Jack-o-lanterns, ghosts and bats.
Witches and goblins and big black cats.
Spooky spooks come out to play,
On the thirty-first, Halloween Day.
So lets pick a costume we can wear,
And all the neighbours, we will scare.
When at their door we trick-or-treat.
And they will give us something sweet.
Jack-o-lanterns, ghosts and bats.
Witches and goblins and big black cats.
Spooky spooks come out to play,
On the thirty-first, Halloween Day.
