Scarecrow by Teresa Jennings, Music K-8, Volume 2, Number1 © Plank Road Publishing Used with permission. All rights reserved. PowerPoint by Camille Page

Once in a year, when the cold wind blows,

There’s a man of straw and he’s scaring the crows.

Up on a pole near the pumpkin patch.

Only thing he fears is a lighted match.

Ghosts and goblins rule the night,

Witches all around try to give us a fright.

Only time it happens is Halloween night,

That’s when the scarecrow comes to life,

Scarecrow.

What kind of sound does a scarecrow make?

When the moon is full, does he shimmy and shake?

What kind of noise does a scarecrow do?

Does he moan and groan? Does he just say “boo?”

Ghosts and goblins rule the night,

Witches all around try to give us a fright.

Only time it happens is Halloween night,

That’s when the scarecrow comes to life,

Scarecrow.

Scarecrow!
