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.
