Edgar the Scarecrow
(tune: Frosty the Snowman)
Edgar the Scarecrow was an itchy, scratchy guy
With a flannel shirt and torn blue jeans,
And feedsack with one eye.
Edgar the Scarecrow is a folklore tale, I heard.
He was full of straw, but, I was told,
He couldn’t chase a bird.
It was Halloween when he suddenly jumped down --
He could not get back up on his pole,
So instead, he went to town.
Oh, Edgar the Scarecrow, was as lost as he could be,
For the kids that day in costumed array
Looked just as strange as he.
Stumbily bump stump, bumpily bump stump,
Edgar walked so slow.
Stumbily bump stump, bumpily bump stump,
Edgar knew not where to go.
Edgar the Scarecrow lost some straw with every step.
The kids said “Come with us”, so without a bit more fuss,
After them he did schlep.
He followed them, house to house, and at each door,
Folks with surprise so loved his disguise,
They filled his bag with more.
The trail of straw behind, Edgar saw, as it grew and grew;
In only a few moments, his adventure would be through.
So Edgar the Scarecrow went back to his cornfield,
And farmers tell where his candy fell
Improved twofold that year’s yield.
Loot the Houses
(tune: Deck the Halls)
Lock the doors, get out the sherry,
Bwah ha ha, Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha!
‘Tis the season things turn scary,
Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha, bwah ha ha!
Don they now their weird apparel,
Bwah ha ha, Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha!
Tonight kids have all gone feral,
Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha, bwah ha ha!
See the begging grins before us,
Bwah ha ha, Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha!
Shut the lights, they may ignore us,
Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha, bwah ha ha!
“Gave to us your sweetest treasure,
Bwah ha ha, Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha!
Or you will feel our displeasure,
Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha, bwah ha ha!”
Fast they pass from door to door,
Bwah ha ha, Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha!
Bags all ready to hold more,
Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha, bwah ha ha!
They will come in any weather,
Bwah ha ha, Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha!
On Halloween they loot together,
Bwah ha ha, ha ha ha, Bwah Ha Ha!
