Seven days away
And it's Halloween
Monsters and ghosts
That night will be seen
Candy to give out
By the neighbours
And candy to receive
The kids will eat later
Different parties thrown
The guests all dress up
They drink alcohol
Some until they throw up
An occasion for the kids
And adults take their part
Some say they're too old
But they're kids-at-heart
Chocolate bars and toffee
Get all kinds of sweet stuff
Until their bag is full , then
Go when they have enough
Take all the treats home
And sift through the lot
Eat all their favorites first
Ones they think are top notch
They'll be snacking for weeks
Candy bars and the sweets
They may skip a few dinners
From the treats they overeat
Then they will fall asleep
And wake up so happy
One night of travelling to
Get months worth of candy
