Does anyone remember singing Halloween songs at school?

[mytwosons]

Along with some of the other songs already posted, I remember singing:

It's Halloween and it's spooky out tonight.
Please be very careful or you'll give yourself a fright!
It's Halloween and it's spooky out tonight.

[SnuggleBuggles]

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!

Yes!!! This is one I remember! I used to love that one!!

I remember the whole school singing Halloween songs during an assembly. The only one I remember is:

The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle
On your snout

I think I remember it because I thought it sounded gross!

The link that I posted previously is for the song I think you guys are thinking of.

Is this it?

“H - A - double L – O – W - double E – N” spells Halloween,

“H - A - double L – O – W - double E – N” spells Halloween!

Halloween means ghosts & goblins,

Skeletons, monsters, & howling cats,

Spooky masks & jack-o-lanterns,

Witches & devils & big, black bats!

“H - A - double L – O – W - double E – N” spells Halloween,

“H - A - double L – O – W - double E – N” spells Halloween!

Halloween means ringing doorbells,

Scaring the people who open the door.

“Trick or treat” gets you candy and apples,

Then go to the next house and get some more.

“H - A - double L – O – W - double E – N” spells Halloween,

“H - A - double L – O – W - double E – N” spells Halloween!

The link is really cool because it has the spooky intro. Here it is again:

I can't remember what we sang in school, but I listen to the Wee Sing for Halloween cd in the car with my kids *all* the time. It's really not bad and my kids looooove it. It's got something like 50 Halloween songs on it, some very short.

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!

our version was similar, but the 4th line went:

slidin' down the moon without any britches
oh-oh Halloween's here

[Carrots]

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!

I am so happy this thread was started. We used to sing this song in elementary school and we all LOVED it! Our music teacher would draw a picture of the house and the graveyard (he also worked the woods and a set of railroad tracks into the song). I have been trying to remember the lyrics to the song! Thanks so much for posting! It brings back some fun memories.

I loved the Pumpkins song too.

Yes, that must be it! The lyrics still aren't ringing any bells for me, but since it was nearly 30 years ago, I guess it's not that surprising.

Thanks for the link- I'm definitely going to play it for DS. He'll be thrilled!

I am with your DH on this. I can't think of a single Halloween Song from my childhood.

I totally remember singing a song called "Witch's Brew".

And then last week, my daughter came home singing it.

She couldn't believe I knew the song!!
