HELLO! Recently I asked librarians, teachers and parents what would make a great Halloween CD, and this was the result. 12 original (mostly upbeat) catchy pop rock songs. Some are short and simple, great for small children. Others are ideal for older kids and families too. Nothing is too scary and there are several songs that can be used that DO NOT MENTION HALLOWEEN AT ALL! This is the most HIGHLY USEABLE CD I've ever had the pleasure or recording for you. I hope you enjoy it and tell your friends. Award winning singer songwriter, Mr. Billy Lyrics to all songs: On Halloween Did you ever see a ghost eating buttered toast on Halloween? Did you ever see a vampire sitting by a campfire on Halloween? Did you ever see a mummy filling up his tummy on Halloween? What’s the spookiest, kookiest? Scariest, goofiest, thing you’ve ever seen? On Halloween On Halloween On Halloween Did you ever see a mouse in a haunted house on Halloween? Did you ever see a creature try to hug a teacher on Halloween? Did you ever see a black cat dancing with a big bat on Halloween? What’s the spookiest, kookiest? Scariest, goofiest, thing you’ve ever seen? On Halloween On Halloween On Halloween Did you ever see a spider drinking apple cider on Halloween? Did you ever see Frankenstein playing with a porcupine on Halloween? Did you ever see your candy corn trying to play a French horn on Halloween? What’s the spookiest, kookiest? Scariest, goofiest, thing you’ve ever seen?
