Time of Year (Halloween Song)

You know it’s the time of year,

when the witches and ghosts appear.

They come at night when there’s no more light.

Halloween is almost here!

If you look very carefully,

there’s a goblin behind that tree.

But, I must say don’t you run away,

’cause it might be me!

Mrs. Gendron’s Music class
