Cutesy Halloween Songs for Kids

I'm gradually starting to get in the mood for Halloween. It could be the falling leaves and the cooler weather. It could be the fun decorations I'm seeing in stores. It could also just be the candy corn I've been eating.

Christmas hasn't taken a backseat, however. I'm still ho ho ho-ing around. Uh, maybe that was a poor choice in words...

Ahem. Anyway, I came across these fun little songs in a really old children's song book that I thought I'd share, they'd be great for a children's party or just to sing while you're out trick or treating!

OH MY MONSTER, FRANKENSTEIN

(sung to "Oh, My Darling Clementine")

In a castle, by the mountains

Near the dark and murky Rhine

Dwelt a doctor, the conconctor

Of the monster, Frankenstein

Chorus: Oh my monster, oh my monster

Oh my monster, Frankenstein

You were built to last forever,

Dreadful scary Frankenstein

In a graveyard, near the castle

Where the moon refused to shine

He dug for noses and for toeses

For his monster, Frankenstein

Repeat Chorus

The Pumpkin on the Vine

(sung to "The Farmer in the Dell")

The pumpkin on the vine

The pumpkin on the vine

I picked the one that weighed a ton

And that's the one that's mine

I made two funny eyes

A mouth that's over sized

The other gook my Mother took

For baking pumpkin pies

The pumpkin on the vine

The pumpkin on the vine

He's now a jack-o'-lantern

And you ought to see him shine.

That jack-o'-lantern of mine!

Too cute, eh? Hmmm... need to make one up using "Row Row Row Your Boat!" Any suggestions?
