Four Little Bats<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Four little bats as happy as can be.
\nOne flew away and then there are three.<\/p>\n

Three little bats are swooping towards you.
\nOne flew away and that leaves two.<\/p>\n

Two little bats having lots of fun.
\nOne flew away and that leaves one.<\/p>\n

One little bat and we\u2019re almost done!
\nHe flew away and then there were none.<\/p>\n

Who’s That Knocking?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(Tune: Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush)<\/p>\n

Who’s that knocking at my door?
\nAt my door, at my door?
\nWho’s that knocking at my door?
\nWho can it be?<\/p>\n

Knock, knock! Who’s There?
\nIt’s… a pirate! (or superman, or bumblebee)<\/p>\n

Pirate’s saying “Trick or treat,
\nTrick or treat, trick or treat!”
\nHere’s a treat for you to eat–
\nHappy Halloween!<\/p>\n
