That Hallowe'en Dance
At Eagle Hall on Hallowe’en
From nine till half-past one.
A dance of ghosts there’ll be
Who back to earth have come,
By Invitation of the Witch.
For one night in the year;
Again to walk for mortal man
Who for them show no fear.
We wish all to attend this dance.
And meet these spectres face to
face.
And ghostly garments you will wear
Such as sheet 8"d pillow case.
And join us in our revelries
And form a fitting scene,
A spectral party, gay but weird,
To celebrate this Hallowe’en.
