You Are Invited to My Halloween Party!

 

Come to my Halloween party

Wear your vampire cape and sash

We'll eat little bat-shaped cookies

And do the Monster Mash

I'll make some fizzy green punch

That looks like a slimy swamp

We can pass out Groucho glasses

And dance the Zombie Stomp

We'll pull apart some cotton

Hang cobwebs everywhere

Put streamers on the ceiling

And pumpkins on the stair

It will be so very festive

An orange and black delight!

Please come to the lovely party

I'm having on Halloween night

Come dance at my Halloween party

I'm hiring a zombie band

They promise to behave themselves

And to not eat anyone's hand

The witches that live across from me

Have said they'll bring a cake

I'm pretty sure it won't have frogs

But we do live near a lake...

I had to invite the werewolves

If not, they'd raise a din

If you play any party games with them

You should probably let them win

Dracula's coming at midnight

Bringing his brides in pairs

The Invisible Man might show up, or not

(Depends on how much he wears)

Frankenstein's monster will be there

If he can get off of work

It's tiring getting chased around

By peasants with pitchforks!

He'll need a draught of fizzy punch

To chase away his gloom

He'll eat some bat-shaped cookies

And stagger 'round the room

So, come to my Halloween party

I think we'll have some fun

But to be safe, maybe you should buy

Silver bullets for your gun!

Bad Halloween for the Creature

The Creature from the Black Lagoon

Went out on Halloween

He had too much to drink, and soon

Was feeling pretty mean

He started, then, to growl and roar

And staggered from the bar

He broke the windows of a store

And vandalized a car

He left his slime on everything

And ran through people's yards

He smashed their jack-o'-lanterns

That they'd worked so hard to carve

He went around and scared some folks

Who were just trick-or-treat-ing

But to their rescue came some blokes

Who gave that fish a beating!

The Creature fled back to his lair

Beneath the waters deep

The people said, "You stay in there

And don't come back, you creep!"

The moral of this tale of mine

Is very plainly seen:

If you simply cannot hold your wine,

Stay home on Halloween!
