Thread Name: Halloween Songs [1]
Subject: Lyr Add: CELERY STALKS AT MIDNIGHT
I listened to a radio show today whose theme was Halloween, and this song seemed particularly goofy, so I had to collect it:


CELERY STALKS AT MIDNIGHT
As recorded by Les Brown & His Orchestra, with vocalist Doris Day, 1941.

Celery stalks at midnight,
Lurking in the moonlight.
What's this funny nightmare all about?
Celery stalks at midnight,
Mounted on their broomsticks,
Sliding through the treetops in and out.
It's like a bad dream,
A crazy kind of mad dream.
Must have been something that I ate, no doubt.
Celery stalks at midnight,
Lurking in the moonlight.
What's this very funny nightmare all about?
