The Lying Witch In the Wardrobe
Eager for candy they roam door to door
They’ve got quite a lot but they’d like a lot more
Dan rang the bell at house number twenty
His dad says it’s home to a lady who’s ‘friendly’
Inside, the sound of feet rushing up stairs
And a man screaming like he’s had too many scares
A lady’s voice asking who’s out in the street
And Dan and his friends shouted out ‘trick or treat’
When the door opened the lady seemed nice
Come in my dears, you look cold as ice
I thought you might be my last visitor’s wife
He’s hiding upstairs in fear of his life
But now that we know it’s you kids trick or treating
Nip up and tell him he’s saved from a beating
And as he was scratching my Halloween itch
Don’t be surprised if he’s dressed as a witch
Dan shrieked when the door knocked as loud as a drum
I‘m meant to stay in so I bet that's my mum
And if it is her, then we’re all in a bind
For Bob and Jed’s mothers will be close behind
The lady said seems like you’ve done nothing wrong
So nip up the stairs until they are gone
Hide under the bed she said, and so they did
But Dan found a wardrobe and that's where he hid
’twas ever so dark but the voice rang some bells
I’m just an old witch and I’m looking for spells
Dan said, I'm a kid but I’m not going mad
But mum will be livid, won’t she Dad?
