'There were three ravens sat on a tree'

There were three ravens sat on a tree
Down-a-down, Hey! Down-a-down,
And they were black as they might be, with a down
The one of them said to his mate:
"What shall we for our breakfast take?"
With a down, derry derry derry down, down

'Five Little Pumpkins'

Five little pumpkins sat on a gate

The first one said, 'My it's getting late!'

The second one said, 'There are witches in the air!'

The third one said, 'But we don't care!'

The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run!'

The fifth one said, 'That's Halloween fun!'

Then whooosh went the wind and out went the lights

And five little pumpkins rolled out of site!

'Itsy Bitsy Spider'

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again!
