The pumpkin shed his skin
for the pie that was within
He jumped and hollered
for soon he would be swall’ard
The scarecrow by his side
was ready to run and hide
Knowing Halloween was true
his day went from sunny to blue
Now don’t be scared to Trick or Treat
getting candy that’s free is really neat
And, don’t be shy -
cause I’ll tell you why
All spooky things will leave the turf
for tomorrow is November the 1st!
