THE HALLOWEEN
SONG
Chester’s
roaming in an open patch;
Jack is stepping
on his toes;
We’re all
waiting for Great Pumpkin to come
And we’re
dressed up in goblin clothes.
Everybody knows
the goodies that Great Pumpkin brings
Help to make our
“spirits” bright.
Pumpkin
followers with flashlights aglow
Will keep their
watch all through the night.
They know Great
Pumpkin’s coming back.
He’ll bring a
lot of toys and goodies in his sack.
And all the kids
will gather in a batch
When the Great
Pumpkin rises out of the patch!
And so I’m
offering this wise advice –
“You’re gonna
grin from ear to ear
On Halloween
night when the Great One returns
If your patch is
sincere!”
From The Peanuts Book of Pumpkin Carols
a Hallmark “Peanuts
Gallery” booklet, 1960s
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Thanks for the words! I sang them in my head. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy pumpkin day!
I'm so glad that I could have little part in awakening the good spirit of Halloween in you. Have a spicy drink.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy - it makes me feel better just reading!
ReplyDeleteAnd NOW we can all start decorating for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYes, you can start decorating for Christmas. I'm going to put away Halloween and get out my Pilgrims and my Thanksgiving house. BUT -- Thanksgiving is late this year and that will take some careful Christmas organizing.
