It's Halloween, when vampire queen, |
| All Hallows Read |
Ghoul and sprite rule the night
And Pit-Pat, the witch's cat
Slips outdoors on velvet paws
To go wandering, wandering, silently wandering
Under the moonlit sky.
Past churchyard gate, where spirits wait
Longingly for company;
There Pit-Pat, the witch's cat,
Stops a while to nod and smile
Before wandering, wandering, jauntily wandering
Under the moonlit sky.
Within the tower, at midnight hour,
The ghost intones its mournful moans
But Pit-Pat, the witch's cat,
Bows her head to the vision dread
And goes wandering, wandering, fearlessly wandering
Under the moonlit sky.
Through forest glade,in every shade
Pit-Pat spies hungry eyes.
But Pit-Pat, the witch's cat,
Tail held high, saunters by
And goes wandering, wandering, heedlessly wandering
Under the moonlit sky.
On hilltop bare, in the pale moon's glare,
Cats come here from far and near.
And Pit-Pat, the witch's cat
Sings along with the joyful throng.
Wailing a tune to the silver moon,
They go yowling and howling and prancing and dancing
And tripping and skipping and whirling and twirling
And reeling and wheeling and creeping and leaping
Under the moonlit sky.
