A Song for Halloween Day

Greetings, and happy Halloween! Because it is a special day, Friday Faves has been postponed until next week (sorry!). You probably know by now that this isn't exactly my favorite "holiday," but that hasn't stopped me yet from writing and sharing my collection of sometimes spooky but mostly silly Halloween songs. Today's song leans a little bit more towards the spooky side, but don't worry - it is appropriate for all ages and stages of development.



Do you know about a day
That’s not so very far away
Everywhere there’s orange and black
And chills are running up your back.

Jack-o-lanterns and ghosts and bats,
Witches and goblins and big black cats
Spooky spooks come out to play
On the thirty-first, Halloween Day.

Let’s pick a costume we can wear
And all the neighbors, we will scare
When at their door we trick or treat
And they will give us something sweet.

Jack-o-lanterns and ghosts and bats,
Witches and goblins and big black cats
Spooky spooks come out to play
On the thirty-first, Halloween Day.

Today is a super busy day at school, but in between trick-or-treating throughout the building, visiting the "haunted hallway" complete with a "graveyard", and celebrating at a huge party in the gym this afternoon, we'll find some time to squeeze in music therapy.

Though my feelings toward Halloween are lukewarm at best, I am trying my best to get into the spirit for the sake of those who enjoy this spooktacular day. Tonight, Zach (my husband) and I are going to attend a Halloween party dressed as a certain singing duo...any guesses?? (Hint: if only I had an autoharp, my costume would be perfect.)

I hope you enjoyed today's installment of Listen & Learn Music. Have a great day, and I'll see you this weekend as we kick off November in style. Byebye!
