The Halloween Song
By Al Dana

It's almost Halloween
When ghosts and goblins scream
They fly about
And moan and shout
It's really quite a scene
They come into your home
All around they roam
They pass through doors
and walls and floors
They love when you're alone
Halloween
Halloween
Spooks and spirits are gathering
Trick or Treat
Down the street
But beware
It's Halloween
If you go outside
There's no where you can hide
From witches who
cast spells on you
While on their brooms they ride
So when the moon is high
Don't look up in the sky
For if you do
They'll come to you
Til Halloween's gone by
Halloween
Halloween
Spooks and spirits are gathering
Trick or Treat
Down the street
But beware...
It's Halloween

This song is very obscure. In 1998, I borrowed a cassette tape from the library entitled Halloween Fun. It looked kind of juvenile, but I thought I'd take a listen to it anyway. There were three songs on it that I liked a lot: Scary Scary Halloween, Tonight Is Halloween, and The Halloween Song. The Halloween Song was a real gem...it has a very sad, nostalgic melody that sometimes even makes me a little teary.
A few years ago, I decided to make my own Halloween compilation cd with my favorite songs on them. I looked for the cd of the Halloween Fun album everywhere online and I couldn't find it. I was very disappointed.
Then one day my sister, who knew nothing of my search, came home from the library and said she had come across a Halloween cd I might enjoy. Lo and behold, it was the Halloween Fun cd!
I added the three songs to my compilation cd, and they've become as much of a Halloween song tradition as the Monster Mash.
9/2005 - Hmm, I guess I'll leave my little story up, because it shows what a fascinating person I am, right? *crickets chirping*
Anywho, since I very much doubt a midi will be coming my way anytime soon, I have uploaded a low quality sample wav.
I strongly urge you to buy the cd Halloween Fun if you enjoy this song :)
