6 Little Bats Halloween Songs For Kids

Six little bats on Halloween night,

Out with their friends to give you a fright!

One little bat got stuck in a tree,

And 5 little bats came down to spook me!

Five little bats on Halloween night,

Got scared by a ghost all dressed in white,

One little bat flew straight back home,

Then the four little bats went off on their own.

Four little bats on Halloween night, Bumped

Into a witch! Oh what a big fright!

She cast a spell and one disappeared,

Then there were three, well, wasn’t that weird?

Three little bats on Halloween night,

Out in the dark – Oh what a big fright!

One little bat got chased by a cat,

Then there were two – well fancy that!

Two little bats on Halloween night,

Flew passed a skeleton – what a big fright!!

They went to hide out in a cave,

But one little bat just wouldn’t behave!

One little bat on Halloween night,

All alone – Oh what a big fright!!

Called on his neighbour to trick or treat,

Then they took their sweeties home to eat!!

(sing to the same tune as 5 Little Ducks)
