| I'm a very friendly ghost | Point to yourself. |
| And I can scare you too | Point to your baby. |
| I cover my face with my hands | Cover face with hands. |
| And then say BOO to you. | Uncover face and say, "Boo!" |
Toddlers
| Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate | Hold up one hand. |
| The first one says, "My, it's getting late." | Point to thumb. |
| The second one says, "There are witches in the air." | Point to pointer finger. |
| The third one says, "But we don't care." | Point to middle finger. |
| The fourth on says, "Let's run and run and run!" | Point to ring finger. |
| The fifth one says, "We're ready for some fun!" | Point to little finger. |
| Ooooooooooo went the wind | Hold hands beside mouth. |
| And out went the light | Clap hands. |
| And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight | Roll hands around each other in a circle. |
