Halloween Grinch

Another Halloween approaches Kids all up in my face, the roaches! They're running up to my house Candy is what it's all about about Maybe I should keep them guessing No candy till we say a blessing For all those rotted teeth forthcoming Sugar messing up their plumbing Grabbing handfuls from my candy dish Put mousetraps in there? Oh how I wish I can almost hear them whisper What a rotten trick there mister. I would smile and only say Its the tricks that make my day treats are for the few you see who do not come to bother me I'll send it to them in the mail They love to get it without fail. They'll ask their parents where it came from Who'll answer from the old mean one The one who lives across the street The one who hates Halloween He wants all the kids to stay away We know just how to make him pay. When Halloween next it comes We'll all gather every one and keep ringing his old doorbell Until his eardrums start to swell Then we'll take all those mousetraps Throw them in his waiting lap and whatever they happen to latch upon Won't matter to us we'll be gone At the hospital when they ask him who did this deed on just a whim He'll say it was for Halloween His trick sure was a special treat.
