Jack-O'-Lantern Song

Jack-O'-Lantern Song

Upon on wilde and windy night—
Woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo—
We Jacks our lanterns all did light;
The wind—it surely knew—FOR—

Whistle and whistle—and whist! Now list!
Woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo—
Whirling and twirling, with turn and twist,
The wind—it softly blew.

It was the creepiest, scariest night—
Woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo—
We held our breath, then lost it quite;
The wind—it surely knew—FOR—

Whistle and whistle—and whist! Now list!
Woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo—
Whirling and twirling, with turn and twist,
The wind—it softly blew.

It rose in all its main and might
Woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo—
It blew out every single light;
The Wind—it surely knew—FOR—

Whistle and whistle—and whist! Now list!
Woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo—
Whirling and twirling, with turn and twist,
That wind—it laughed—Ho-oh!
