Trick or Treat

Hereโ€™s another edition of theย Thursday Evening Post.ย ๐Ÿ‘ป

TOMORROW is HALLOWEEN! ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽƒ

Earlier this month, I wanted to learn a cover of a creepy folk song and share it with you for Halloween! ๐Ÿ–ค

Things got SO BUSYโ€”Oh life! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I asked myself, Instead of singing someone else’s song for Halloween, why don’t I make MY OWN song for Halloween? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I’d never done a parody before, but I had a lot of fun with this! ๐Ÿ˜„

Here’s my original song “Trick or Treat” to the tune of “Jingle Bells.”

Lyrics:
With my costume on
I walk across the lawn
Trying to get more candy
Before it’s all gone
With my pumpkin bucket heavy
I ring the bell with glee
But when the door opens up
A towering grim reaper I do see

Oh! Trick or treat!
I want sweets
Give me candy please
Although I appreciate your enthusiasm
Your costume gives me the creeps
Trick or Treat!
I want sweets
Give me candy please
Put it in my bucket thank you
So that I can leave

I walk away swiftly
And breathe a sigh of relief
Once I catch my breath
I’m ready for my candy
I approach the door
I knock not one time but there
With a big bowl of treats
A terrifying clown I do see

Oh! Trick or treat!
I want sweets
Give me candy please
Although I appreciate your enthusiasm
Your costume gives me the creeps
Trick or Treat!
I want sweets
Give me candy please
Put it in my bucket thank you
So that I can leave

Oh! Trick or treat!
I want sweets
Give me candy please
Although I appreciate your enthusiasm
Your costume gives me the creeps
Trick or Treat!
I want sweets
Give me candy please
Put it in my bucket thank you
So that I can leave

Put it in my bucket thank you
So that I can leave

Put it in my bucket thank you
So that I can leave

The dress that I’m wearing is actually from my high school winter formal! ๐Ÿคฃ

I often dress up as a princess when I hand out candy so that I don’t scare kids! ๐Ÿ˜†

This song was inspired by a neighbor!

Last year, one of my neighbors dressed up as a grim reaper and scared so many kids when he was giving out candy! ๐Ÿ˜ฎI even thought he was spooky! ๐Ÿคฃ

He reminded me of how when I was a kid I HATED when grown-ups would wear spooky costumes!

I just wanted the CANDY! I didn’t want to deal with anyone’s scariness! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Number one on the scary costume list is a clown! ๐Ÿคก

No, thank you! ๐Ÿ˜‹

I shared this song with one of my friends, and she told me that she also remembers being especially creeped out by people handing out candy while wearing clown costumes! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Were there any Halloween costumes that really creeped you out when you were a kid?

I hope this song made you smile! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’™

Happy Halloween! ๐Ÿฆ‡
