In a Music lesson we had great fun making a lot of noise using percussion instruments. We created sound effects to accompany the words of a Hallowe’en rap called ‘The haunted House’. We created sounds for freezing winds, rickety roofs, rotting floorboards, bumbling bats, creaking doors, warty witches in pointy hats, a rattling skeleton banging his bones, a gibbering ghost moaning and groaning, (he had a bad back!) and a horrible cat crying in the wind!! We are really looking forward to Hallowe’en!
horrible house on Haunted Hill! Wooo-eee!
The freezing winds blow cold and chill! Brrrrrrrr-rrrrrrrr!
The rickety roof has sprung a leak! Drip, drop, drip, drop!
The rotting floorboards groan and creak! Creee – eeeeek!
And bumbling bats fly through the air!, Flap – pet – ty flap, flap- pet – ty flap,
The doors go bang and there’s no one there! Bang! Bang!
A warty witch in a pointy hat! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Lives up there with a sinister cat! Me – ow, ptht!
A rattling skeleton bangs his bones! Click – et – ty clack!
A gibbering ghost just groans and groans! “Oooooh! – Me back!”
And now I’ve said all I can say, I hope you’re going to stay away
From the horrible house! Wooo-eee!
And the horrible winds! Brrrrrrrr-rrrrrrrr!
And the horrible roof! Drop!
And the horrible boards! Creee – eeeeek!
The horrible bats! Flap – pet – ty flap,
The horrible doors! Bang!
The horrible witch! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
The Meow –ptht!
The horrible skeleton! Click – et – ty clack!
And the horrible ghost! “Oooooh! – Me back!”
The horrible house on Haunted Hill was haunted then and it’s haunted still!
