![]() When the moon is full and the jack o' lanterns glare Heeds a warning to beware When witches on switches cackle and scream That's how you know when its Halloween When out of darkness eyes appear And you cant shake a feeling- that's queer When shadows tell ---of things foreseen That's how you know when its Halloween When a black cat leaps at you, in the dead of night Sending shivers and quivers-- up your spine in fright When things that go bump, cant be seen That's how you know when its Halloween When the banshees yell, awakes the dead And the sliver of the moon, drips blood red On the night when two worlds-- are in between That's how you know when its Halloween When the dead arise out of their tombs And witches fly into the night on brooms And the werewolves howl, is a deafening scream That's how you know when its Halloween When the night wind whispers a mournful moan And spirits and ghosts are free to roam When things dont appear to be, as they seem This my friend, is Halloween (c)copyright 2006 all rights reserved.
