Creepy pair of underwear! by Aaron Reynolds

 

FIVE LITTLE GHOSTS

                Five little ghosts on a dark night flew

                One got scared and took off with a booooo

                She wailed and moaned and took off like a kite

                How many ghosts are left tonight? [count down until all the ghosts are gone]

 

The little old lady who was not afraid of anything by Linda Williams

 

SWISH SWISH WENT THE WITCH ON THE BROOM (inspired by jbrary)

     Swish swish went the witch on the broom one day

     Swish swish went the witch on the broom

     Swish swish went the witch on the broom one day

     And they all went swish swish swish

     But…

     We know a witch goes [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]

     [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]

     [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]

     We know a witch goes [clap] la de la de la [wavey arms]

     They don’t go swish swish swish

     Flap flap went the little brown bat one day

     Flap flap went the little brown bat

     Flap flap went the little brown bat one day

     And they all went flap flap flap

     But…

     We know bats go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]

     [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]

     [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]

     We know bats go [clap] rub a dub a dub [running arms]

     They don’t go flap flap flap
