Thread: I'm new here, looking for title and lyrics to old halloween song

Tweet

I think they mean, "This is Halloween". The internet is a wonderful thing, but one of the problems is that there is a wealth of misinformation out there, along with the good information of course. I looked for a couple of hours tonight, and even with the new information I can't find anything. Maybe someone will read this and then listen to a midi and remember the words ? Here's hoping...........................

Yeah. It's funny as many people online who seem to remember the song that htere is no reference to the lyrics or correct title of it anywhere.

It's the night of Halloween

On October thirty-one
When the sun, Goes to Rest
It's the night of Halloween
When Fun is at its best.

Black cats and ghosts and princess fair
Holding hands everywhere,
It's the night of Halloween
There's Magic in the air.

Witch's shadow on the moon,
Casting spells, flying her broom,
It's the night of Halloween
Quick! Change to your costume!


Is it this you guys are thinking of?

Looks like the right one yes. Thanks.

My cousin was just asking me the very same thing!
I had no idea what she was talking about, but gave searching a shot!
After I found it, I stumbled across this thread and just thought I'd share.
I have yet to find it in song format, just lyrics or the music separately - would be nice to find it being performed.....

I've recently been looking for this song too to play for my 3 yo who's really getting into Halloween this year. I remember as a kid (between 5 & 7 yrs old c.1962-1965) playing this (repeatedly!) on a 45 record. It was the last tune of one side on the 45 and had (I'm guessing) 8-10 tunes on each side. What the Title of the record was or the other songs on it were is lost to me. The song was sung to the theme from “In The Hall of the Mountain King” from the Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Grieg. I also remember there were additional lyrics to it, but again (at my age I suffer from CRS - can't remember stuff) they're lost to me. I really wish I could find a copy of the original 45. I'll have to contact my older sibling to see if they still have possession of it. If I can get it I'll try to do an mp3 of it.
