There's little children on the street ,

dressed up and having fun .


Someone is knocking on the door ,

its cold and winters come.


Can you spare a penny

for Halloween is here tonight .



School is finished for a while

and there's no lessons now to learn .


Everyone can sit around

and watch the bonfires burn .


The moon is rising higher

and the fires are burning bright .


Standing by the fire,

as the winter wind is howling,

cats are crying,

mice are screeching

and the dogs are growling .



As the little children close their eyes ,Halloween has fled .


Oh the fires are burning still

as the kids are now in bed .
