Tune: Sailor’s Alphabet

lyrics

H is for Halloween, the hauntingest time
We’ll all sing about it, and we’ll do it in rhyme.

A’s for the Alehouse, where the best spirits lie
Let us go now and meet there and drink the house dry.

Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song

L’s for the Lanterns, with glowing red eyes,
Just save us the insides for nice tasty pies

L’s for the Little ones, seek sweets by the pound
L’s also Loving wot brings little ones ‘round

Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song

O means ‘Ot Toddies, they warm you right up
I think I’ll have another, right ‘ere in me cup

W’s for Witches that fly on their brooms
W’s also for Whiskey, we’ll drink it down soon

Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song

E stands for Eerie, it’s that time of year
To the spirits that haunt us, raise a glass & say, ‘Cheers!’

E’s also for Excitement, you feel in the air
Libations & laughter with nary a care

Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song

N’s for November, wot’s coming up soon
In the meantime we’ll drink up, and howl at the moon!

Now we’re done singing, our letters all spelled
Let us raise up our glasses & spirits as well

Cheerily, Cheerily, at All Hallow’s Eve
For mortals on earth, it’s the spirits we seek
Make our pay, drink our pay, all the year long
Come all ye bold seamen, sing our Halloween song
