A Gothling's Gathering of Gabbling Ghouls

by The Gabbling Ghouls

Perfect little soul Snuggled to my breast Listen to my beating heart Guide you to your rest As the moonbeams shine And the stars align May angels wrap you in their wings As you dream of many wondrous things Perfect little soul Close your weary eyes Wake again another day begins And the shadows hide
2.
There are bats in the walls And a wolf at the door And a voice in the cupboard cries, "get out" But try as you might In this moonlit night Your feet won't get you past the couch Howling, growling, yowling, squeak Rustle, rattle, flutter, creak Bumping, thumping, slumping, sneak Cackle, hackle, shackle, shriek Cobwebs crossing here and there Spiders on your hair A trick of light and shadow shows A ghost atop the stairs A creature gurgles in the sink They come from everywhere And down the hall a mummy moans You'd best be aware It's Halloween It's Halloween It's Halloween It's Halloween You can hide if you will Under the covers so still Safe from night and its chill Hold you close until It's Halloween It's Halloween It's Halloween It's Halloween

Who's that lurking in the distance? Who's that rustling in the trees? Who's that moving in the shadows? Who's that standing next to me? And the wolf cries howl. howl, howl And the owl questions who, who who? And the bat shrieks eee, eee, eee It's a perfect night for Halloween Who's that lurking in the distance? Who's that rustling in the trees? Who's that moving in the shadows? Who's that standing next to me? And the wolf cries howl. howl, howl And the owl questions who, who who? And the bat shrieks eee, eee, eee It's a perfect night for Halloween It's a perfect night for Halloween

Rose Mary's garden holds a secret One she'll never let you tell Rose Mary's garden grows so slowly, so strangely The flowers sleep under a spell Behind the wall you see a ghost planting poppies in the air And of the left-hand side you see a fanged cat also glare Underneath the garden gate you see a hidden stair O round and round your mind it spins fast as flight who knows where Rose Mary's garden's so enticing Voices call out like a bell Rose Mary's garden is locked so tightly, so frightly And on the lock's a grinning skull Behind the wall you see a ghost planting poppies in the air And of the left-hand side you see a fanged cat also glare Underneath the garden gate you see a hidden stair O round and round your mind it spins fast as flight who knows where Rose Mary's garden opens widely Inviting as if all inside is well Rose Mary's garden holds a treasure, surely Forever in the walls it must dwell Behind the wall you see a ghost planting poppies in the air And of the left-hand side you see a fanged cat also glare Underneath the garden gate you see a hidden stair O round and round your mind it spins fast as flight who knows where Something's missing from the garden Something's loose upon the world Something's missing from the garden Something's loose upon the world

Hush-a-bye, my little dragon Don't you cry, my little dragon Momma's here To wipe away your tears We'll fly through pillow skies Count your scales and horns I'll sing you lullabies Tuck under my wing Hush-a-bye, my little dragon Don't you cry, my little dragon Momma's here To take away your fears I'll make the village scream Ti lull you fast asleep And as the fires die I'll bring you sweet, soft sheep Hush-a-bye, little dragon Close your eyes And goodnight
