Halloween - Uk
[In the UK, Halloween was, by and large, overlooked or
ignored… until E.T. came to town. Then it went bonkers!]
*
Back in the day the dead didn’t cry
Around about then the dead didn’t sigh
Nobody knew that the dead could be sly
In those days October just kinda passed by
It used to be so that the one reason why
A pumpkin was grown would be (yum?) pumpkin pie
And if there were bats that were passing on by
They were four inches long and were up in the sky
The sheets on the line would remain until dry
With no cut out eyes or enshrouding some guy
Cadavers would lie where cadavers should lie
And it was the norm to lay down when you die
This Halloween custom, we gave it a try
After the bicycles flew upon high
It’s now here to stay and do you know why
It’s all cos of ET and that Spielberg guy
