Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Pumpkin, pumpkin, what do you see?
I see a Jack-o-lantern looking at me.

Jack-o-lantern, Jack-o-lantern, what do you see?
I see a purple bat looking at me.
Purple bat, purple bat, what do you see?
I see a black cat looking at me.
Black cat, black cat, what do you see?
I see a white ghost looking at me.

WhooooooOOOOOO!

The Ghost in the House
(Tune: Wheels on the bus)

The ghosts in the house goes boo, boo, boo!
 Boo, boo, boo! Boo, boo, boo!
The ghosts in the house goes boo, boo, boo! on Halloween

The steps in the house go creak, creak, creak…
The cats in the house go mieow, mieow, mieow…
The mice in the house go squeak, squeak, squeak…
The witches in the house go ha, ha, ha
The bats in the house go ee, ee, ee
The monsters in the house go rawr, rawr, rawr
The people in the house go eek, eek, eek… 

If You're A Skeleton and You Know It
(Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)
If you're a skeleton and you know it, Wiggle your bones (shake your body)
If you're a skeleton and you know it, Wiggle your bones 
If you're a skeleton and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you’re a skeleton and you know it
Wiggle your bones

If you're a ghost and you know it, Just say Boo
If you're a black cat and you know it Just say Meow …
