Here's a brand new scary song for-Halloween. It's called Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. My recording friend Paul Opalach and I had lots of fun playing the instruments and putting in the wolves, witches, toads and chains. Check out the lyric.

The second song is There’s a Skeleton In My Closet off of my On My Dad's Shoulders CD. Both songs are available for downloads. Enjoy!

Verse 1
Never say yes to a vampire when he’s selling scarves
Here let me help this one is you
It’s a lovely red with a bit of blue
He’ll move up close -does it fit alright?
And then he’ll take a bite - Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

Verse 2
Never say yes to a skeleton when he’s selling graves
This one is nice, cozy and deep
Perfect for a good nights sleep
He’ll rattle on ‘bout coffin cushions
Push you in when you’re not lookin’-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

Chorus

Ha, Ha, Ha! Ha, Ha, Ha!,Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
Ha, Ha, Ha!Ha, Ha, Ha!, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

Verse 3
Never say yes to a werewolf when he’s selling combs
This one has teeth strong and fine
It even works on hair like mine
He’ll drool and say let’s make a deal
Howl as he eats his meal-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

Verse 4
Never say yes to a wicked witch when she’s selling hats
Here my pretty this one’s your size
Whoops it covers up your eyes
Then from her wand a spell explodes
And RIBBIT you’re a toad-Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

There’s a Skeleton In My Closet

Verse 1
There’s a skeleton in my closet keeping me up tonight
Needing sleep I toss and turn trembling with fright
Rattling bones and ghastly moans make awful company
It’s like he has a bone to pick - a bone to pick with me
Verse 2
Why just the other night when I was entering my room
He poked his fleshless head out of his closet tomb
A boney finger pointed, he gasped a graveyard laugh
And threatened to tell my mother that I had skipped my bath
Bridge 1
“Remember,” he creaked, “the cookies that you stole ?
When your parents know, woe is you, for you the bell will toll!
Oh, hey, about the homework that you didn’t do...
Why they’ll mince, chop and fricassee you into a kid stew!”
Bridge 2
Like the wind I slammed the closet door and bones went flying ‘round
Tell on me you rattletrap? Get back in the ground!
I hammered boards across the door for security
Then locked it with a click (click!) and threw away the key
Verse 3
But I could still hear his voice laughing like a loon
“Confess, confess, confess” he screamed - ooh, that raving goon
I stuffed my ears with pillow but couldn’t drown his voice
Louder, louder, louder Aaah! till I had no choice
Verse 4
There’s a skeleton in my closet! I confessed to mom and dad
Homework, cookies and the bath - I’ve been a little bad.
They told me to try harder - liked my honesty
And said, tell the truth and skeletons couldn’t bother me
But he’s back tonight, I heard him laugh - that’s why I awoke
You don’t suppose that skeleton knows about the lamp I broke?
Repeat verse 1
