Does anyone remember singing Halloween songs at school?

[SnuggleBuggles]

If so, can you remember one of them? I know that we sang some Halloween songs when I was little but my dh thinks I am nuts.

nak
we totally sang halloween songs!

to the tune of where is thumbkin

jack o'lantern, jack o' lantern
halloween, halloween
see the witches flying, hear the wind sighing
ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo


---------------------------------

witches, ghosts and goblins
walking down the street
knock on every doorway
trick or treat!
when your door is open,
this is what you'll see
scary creatures shouting
trick or treat!

---------------------------------

five little pumpkins sitting on the gate
the first one said oh my it's getting late
the second one said there are witches in the air
the third one said but we don't care
the fourth one said let's run and run and run
the fifth one said get ready for some fun
then ooooooooooo went the wind
and out went the light
and the five little pumpkins went rolling out of sight

--------------------------------------
black cat, black cat
looking for a witch
black cat, black cat,
night as dark as pitch
you can see me cause your eyes are green
black cat, black cat
this is HALLOWEEN (boo!)

Jack o' lantern, jack o' lantern
You are such a funny sight
As you sit there in the window
Looking out at the night.

You were once a yellow pumpking
Growing on a sturdy vine
Now you are a jack o' lantern
Look at how your light shines.

--------------------------------
Punkey punkey was a happy punkey
And do you know why
Because he was a jack o' lantern
and not a pumpkin pie.

(A little morbid I know, but DD doesn't "understand" and likes it a lot! LOL!)

I remember a short one! Lyrics were:

Stirring and stirring and stirring my brew
Oooooooooo oooo
oooooooooo oooo
repeat above

tip toe tip toe tip toe BOO!

Here is a link to one of my favorites. It has an audio clip with it as well. It has a long intro, but I remembered loving that part as a kid.

We used to sing this one too.

Raffi has several on his various albums.

Sarah tells me they have been singing The Goblin's Got the Blues and Pick a Pick a Pick a Pumpkin. Neither of which I know and which vexes her greatly.

Wasn't there one about a witch flying over haystacks or something?...

I know it's not much to go on, but that is going to bug me!

eta: I remember! something like:
1 little, 2 little 3 little witches
flying over haystacks, jumping over ditches
flew to the moon and tore their britches
Hi-Ho Halloween's here...

Or something like that!

Yes!!! I loved that one. I can't remember any other lyrics to it, either.

We also sang:
There was an old woman all skin and bones
Wooooh, ooooh, oooh oooh

She lived down by the old graveyard
Wooooh, ooooh, oooh oooh

One night she thought she'd take a walk
Wooooh, ooooh, oooh oooh

She went down by the old graveyard
Wooooh, ooooh, oooh oooh

She saw the bones a layin' around
Wooooh, ooooh, oooh oooh

She went to her closet to get a broom
Wooooh, ooooh, oooh oooh

She opened the door and BOO!
