5 Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

Five brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Four brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Three brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Two brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

One brave knight
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Five Little Ghosts

Five little ghosts flying out the door,
One flew away and then there were four.

Four little ghosts playing happily,
One flew away and then there were three.

Three little ghosts yelling boo! boo! boo!,
One flew away and then there were two.

Two little ghosts having spooky fun,
One flew away and then there was one.

One little ghost caught sight of the sun,
Flew back home and that left none.

Five Little Witches

Five little witches sitting on a gate.
The first one said, “I’m glad it’s getting late.”
The second one said, “There are spiders in my hair!”
The third one said, “Well, I declare!”
The fourth one said, “Trick or treating would be fun!”
The fifth one said, “Let’s run and run and run!”

So, Wooo oooo went the wind.
And out went the light!
And the five the little witches flew out of sight!
