NY Halloween Parade 2000
American Traditional Folksongs

This year's NY Halloween Parade was viewed live by telecast on the Sci-Fi Channel and USA Network. By chance, did anyone see the six foot running vagina?

Old Witch, Old Witch
Chicken my chicken my creamy crow, I went to the well to wash my toe. When I got there the water was low, What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it Old Witch?

Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch, and combs her hair with a hickory switch. She lives on nails and snails and flies, and if you go near, she'll wobble her eyes. Oh, she'll wobble her eyes. Oh, she'll wobble her eyes.

Chicken my chicken my creamy cran, I went to the well to wash my hand, When I got there the water was sand. What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it Old Witch?

Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch, And combs her hair with a hickory switch. She's fat as a feather but tight in the middle, and when she talks she sounds like a fiddle. Oh, she sounds like a fiddle! Oh, she sounds like a fiddle!

Chicken, my chicken, my creamy crase, I went to the well to wash my face, but, when I got there the water was lace, What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it Old Witch?

Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch, and combs her hair with a hickory switch. She sleeps on a bed with straw and corn, and when she snores she sounds like a horn. Oh, she sounds like a horn! Oh, she sounds like a horn!

Chicken, my chicken, my creamy cregs, I went to the well to wash my legs, and when I got there the water was dregs, What time is it, Old Witch, Old Witch? What time is it Old Witch?

Old Witch, Old Witch, she lives in a ditch, and combs her hair with a hickory switch, and as I said she's very fat, and when she walks, she jumps like a cat. Oh, she jumps like a cat! Oh, she jumps like a cat!

The Halloween Parade
Come, join the Halloween parade! March in the Halloween parade! Hear the people clap and the cameras snap as we walk in the Halloween Parade!

Witches and goblins lead the way! All kinds of ghosts are out today. It’s a spooky day, but we’re not afraid as we walk in the Halloween Parade!

Halloween Party Food
Cracker-jack, cookies and candy corn, apple juice in your cup; Halloween party food looks so good, you can’t wait to gobble it up!

Sugary doughnuts and cupcakes too; til it’s all ready, don’t touch! Halloween party food looks so good, you know you’ll be eating too much!

Halloween
You should know it’s the time of year when the goblins and ghosts appear. They come at night when there’s no more light; Halloween is almost here. If you look very carefully, there’s a goblin behind that tree, but I must say, don’t you run away, cause it might be me!

Pick a Pumpkin
Pick a pick a pumpkin from the pile. We can make his eyes and a great big smile. Pick a pick a pumpkin round and clean, then we’ll be ready for Halloween! Halloween, Halloween, then we’ll be ready for Halloween!
