Halloween

Away in the night on All Hallow Eve we thought we saw the shadow of a thief. Away in the night I saw a black cat being some trouble, being a brat. Away in the dark, there flew a witch flying away on her long broom stick. Away in the dark there was a skull looking very much like a deathly doll. Did you hear the sound of a skeleton? I thought I heard the sound of a gun. Did you hear the chink of bones? Or was it a skeleton making groans? Did you see the white flight ghost? Was it being entertaining, being a good host? Away in the dark I heard a scrape. The sound of the great Halloween escape. Away in the dark stood a glowing pumpkin showing for all its big toothy grin. Away in the night that haunts us still we felt a very cold October chill. Away in the night of Halloween we really needed to have a scream.
