Subject: Lyr Add: THE WOBBLIN' GOBLIN WITH THE BROKEN BROOM
Hi- I found a very faded piece of paper in my Halloween stuf.. circa 1974 or so. A handwritten page, very faded with all of the Lyrics to the Wobblin Goblin!



THE WOBBLIN’ GOBLIN WITH THE BROKEN BROOM
Words and music by Gerald Marks and Milton Pascal.
As recorded by Rosemary Clooney, 1950.

There once was a sad little goblin
Who had a broken broom.
When he went anywhere, it would wobble in the air
And his heart would fill with gloom.
He tried so hard to fix it ev’ry night
But he just couldn’t get it working right.

The wobblin’ goblin with the broken broom
Could never fly too high,
For right at the takeoff,
Another piece would break off
And soon he would be danglin’ in the sky.

Each evenin’ just as he would leave the ground,
His radio would say:
“Control tower to goblin:
Your broomstick is wobblin’.
You’d better make a landing right away.”

It soon got so he could only ride
When the witches took him piggyback;
Until at last he used his brain
And bought himself an aeroplane.

So if you look for him on Halloween,
You’ll see him zip and zoom.
No harm can befall him.
No longer can they call him
The wobblin’ goblin with the broken broom.
