Once ‘pon a time at end of October
My very good friend he decided to stop over
Off went we into the woods
To raise our spirits, to gather our foods
Laughing, talking as we were a-walking
Planing a happy, hip-hop Halloween
When suddenly our bewildered eyes
Met with a very great surprise
For right there in the woodland dell
Were creatures fresh from merry hell
Mincing and grincing, prancing and dancing
Having a really, hip-hop Halloween
Vampires, zombies, werewolves, all
Witches, too, were having a ball
Boogie-ing, woogie-ing, chanting and twisting
The corpses from the churchyard were misting
The slime was oozing, the toads a-boozing
Spirits carousing like you’ve never seen
Having a happy, hip-hop Halloween
Eyeballs in the cauldron bubbling
Ravens’s wings ‘gainst the church spire were hubbling
Rats and mice dancing in formation
Beetles, cockroaches, every insect in the nation
Slithering, wriggling, gobbling and gibbering
Having a truly hip-hop Halloween
The bowl went round the crowd assembled
The soup inside very well resembled
A mixture of muck and bones and grime
But the feasters all drank, they have a good time
Slurping, burping, crunching, licking
A very hip-hop Halloween
A hissing serpent in the trees
Caused us both to suddenly freeze
Come shake, rattle, roll said he
You’ll be in paradise and presently
Pleasure, bliss and ecstasy
In a hip-hop, happy Halloween
A sudden thought, a dreadful fright
Sent us both to sudden flight
Come back, come back, the serpent said
You’ll be sorry that from us you’ve fled
Crying and sighing with misery
And no happy, hip-hop Halloween
Listen to him we did not
But ran with all the might we’d got
Soon behind closed doors were we
Cooking our supper and presently
Tasting, supping, talking, laughing
Having a happy, tip-top Halloween
So, whoever you are, wherever you’ve been
Have a super-duper Halloween
