{From The Addams Family series; Season One, episode 7: "Halloween With The Addams Family". Air Date: October 30, 1964 c.e.}



It was Halloween evening, and through the abode

Not a creature was stirring, not even a toad

Jack O' Lanterns are hung on the gallows with care

To guide sister Witch as she flies through the air

{"drawn by eight beautiful bats" ~ Gomez*}

And she calls out to them:



"Come flitter, come flutter, come flapper and flier

Come chitter, come chatter, come vicious vampire!"



[So under the moon they glide on a gale

With ghosties and beasties they let out a wail

On Halloween evening, Cousin Shy parts the veil

With a Happy Halloween, into the night they sail]
