                                  Bad Moon Rising
      
                              On a dark dreary night
      
                          The witches on broomsticks
      
                                  Make a scary sight
      
      
      
                             The cornfields are empty
      
                              The pumpkin fields too
      
                                It’s after the harvest
      
                             There is frost in the dew
      
      
      
      
                                Tonight of all nights
      
                                  We go out in fear
      
                                 Because of the evil
      
                             That seems to draw near
      
      
      
      
                                But in the beginning
      
                                    It just wasn’t so
      
                                  Tomorrow is Holy
      
                               For those in the know
      
      
      
      
                            We will honor the Godly
      
                           From way back in our past
      
                            The Saints in the heavens
      
                                   It surely will last
      
      
      
      
                                They set the example
      
                               We all should live by
      
                             Not riding a broomstick
      
                                Across the night sky
      
      
      
      
                             Do we take this seriously?
      
                                  Or is it just a joke
      
                                The demons are real
      
                              Not a dream or a bloke
      
      
      
      
                                So All Hallows Eve
      
                               Is what this should be
      
                                 Not something evil
      
                                  To lie and deceive
