Canzone delle 7 streghe


Vieni, vieni in mezzo al bosco,
sette streghe io conosco
vivono in una casina
tutta zucchero e farina.

Vieni non aver paura,
Se la notte è scura, scura
Ci rischiarerà il cammino
Una lucciola col lanternino.

Vieni mano nella mano,
camminiamo piano, piano
troveremo una casina
tutta zucchero e farina.

C'è una strega grassa, grassa,
rompe tutto quando passa;
ce n'è una senza denti,
quando mangia non la senti.

Ritornello:
Ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella,
ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella.

Ce n'è una vanitosa
Che sta tutto il giorno in posa;
Ce n'è una molto bella
Che prepara la ciambella.

Ritornello:
Ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella,
ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella.

Ce n'è una molto vecchia
Porta l'acqua nella secchia;
Ce n'è una che con gli aghi
Fa le calze per i maghi.

Ritornello:
Ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella,
ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella.

Ce n'è una magrolina
Che si alza la mattina
Per svegliar le sue sorelle
Con un piatto di frittelle!

Ritornello:
Ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella,
ma la strega Pimpinella
Si nasconde nella scodella.


 


 

 




Le streghe


Danzan le streghe
la danza con i maghi,
fanno i filtri magici
per spaventare i draghi.
Gira, gira il pentolon
tira su il coperchio;
fuoco, fuoco notte e dì
le streghe fan così!

Zampe di rana,
occhi di serpente,
quattro pipistrelli e
un ragno senza un dente.
Gira, gira il pentolon
tira su il coperchio;
fuoco, fuoco notte e dì
le streghe fan così!
 

 

 



Black Shadows


The night is dark, the wind is high,
Now the Black Shadows come creeping by!
Making a strange, dreadful moaning cry!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

A witch, perhaps, will pull your hair,
Maybe a ghost will give you a scare!
But of the Shadows you must beware!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

A Jack-o'Lantern stares at you,
Around the corner, you hear a "Boo!"
Will those Black Shadows come after you?
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

Now if a Shadow deep and black,
Should try to grab you and then attack,
You must run quickly, and don't look back!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

The night is dark, the wind is high,
Now the Black Shadows come creeping by!
Making a strange, dreadful moaning cry!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
BOOOOOO!

 



Dark Hallowe'en


'Twas very dark on Hallowe'en,
With not a speck of light;
The clouds had just passed o'er the moon,
And silent was the night.
The clouds had just passed o'er the moon,
And silent was the night.

We waited in a lonely grove
And then a ghost went by;
We were too scared to run away,
And much too old to cry;
We were too scared to run away,
And much too old to cry.

It had a wide and flaming mouth,
Its eyes were glowing too;
If you had seen it, I am sure,
It would have frightened you!
If you had seen it, I am sure,
It would have frightened you!

But then the glowing light went dim,
And ev'rybody said
That it was only Christopher
With such a pumpkin head!
That it was only Christopher,
With such a pumpkin head!


 



Funny Hallowe'en


Hallowe'en! Hallowe'en!
Oh, what funny things are seen!
Witches' hats, coal black cats,
Broomstick riders, bats and rats!

Hallowe'en! Hallowe'en!
Jack-o-Lanterns light the scene.
Costumes queer, shrieks of fear,
Strangest night in all the year!

 




Ghosties


The woman stood at the churchyard door,
Woo-oo-oo-oo, Woo-oo-oo,

She had not been there before,
Woo-oo-oo-oo, Woo-oo-oo,

Six ghoulish ghosties floated by,
Woo-oo-oo-oo, Woo-oo-oo,

They scared the woman and made her cry,
Woo-oo-oo-oo, Woo-oo-oo,

The woman to the ghosties said,
Woo-oo-oo-oo, Woo-oo-oo,

"Will I be like you when I am dead?"
Woo-oo-oo-oo, Woo-oo-oo,

The ghosties to the woman said,
"Yaaaaaaaaa!"

 



Great Pumpkin is Coming to Town


Oh, you'd better not shriek,
You'd better not groan,
You'd better not howl,
You'd better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!

He's gonna find out
From folks that he meets
Who deserves tricks
And who deserves treats.
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!

He'll search in every pumpkin patch,
Haunted houses far and near
To see if you've been spreading gloom,
Or bringing lots of cheer.

Oh, you'd better not shriek,
You'd better not groan,
You'd better not howl,
You'd better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is coming to town!

 



Hallowe'en is coming soon


Hallowe'en is coming soon,
Pumpkins we must buy.
Make a Jack-o'Lantern,
Bake a pumpkin pie.

Hallowe'en is coming soon,
Feel it in the air.
Witches ride on broomsticks,
Ghosts hide ev'rywhere.

Hallowe'en is coming soon,
Goblins chasing you!
As you round the corner,
One of them says, "Boo!"
