I sang "When Witches Were Waltzing" in school, too. Here are the lyrics. Hope it helps after all this time!


WHEN WITCHES WERE WALTZING

One night I went walking out into the wood,
And found I had wandered much more than I should,
For I came to a meadow, a magical spot,
When witches were waltzing, I never forgot
What a wild and weird and wonderful sight,
When witches were waltzing on Halloween Night!

I wanted to watch, so I hid in a tree.
I said to myself, "Can't believe what I see!"
It's a pumpkin polka, a goblin gavotte,
And witches were waltzing, I never forgot
What a wild and weird and wonderful sight,
When witches were waltzing on Halloween Night!

They waltzed in the wood by the light of the stars.
The scarecrows were strumming their ghostly guitars
For the skeleton samba, the monster minuet,
The pumpkin polka, the goblin gavotte
And witches were waltzing, I never forgot
What a wild and weird and wonderful sight,
When witches were waltzing on Halloween Night!

One day I'll wake up to a wandering mood;
The West wind will whisper, "Away to the wood!"
And if you will go with me, we might take a chance;
We'll dress all in black and we'll join in the dance!
And we'll all rock and roll while the jack-o-lanterns jitterbug,
The skeletons samba, the monsters minuet,
The pumpkin polka, the goblins gavotte.
I've been there before and I never forgot,
What a wild and weird and wonderful sight,
When witches were waltzing on Halloween Night!
