Once upon a time in a small village lived an old woman named Mrs. Witchalong. She was known for her mysterious ways and peculiar appearance. With her long gray hair and tattered black robe, she seemed to blend in with the shadows of the night. Mrs. Witchalong lived in a small cottage at the edge of the village, surrounded by overgrown gardens filled with herbs and mystical plants.
At the fifth house on Halloween my neighbor gave to me…
5 POPCORN BALLS.
4 peppermints,
3 sticks of gum,
2 lollipops and.
A large piece of chocolate taffy.

Preschool Witch Song | I’m A Mean Old Witch with A Hat | Song for Halloween
Years ago, when I was teaching in a preschool in NYC, Halloween Week meant, like, 8 Halloween parties and two parades! And LOTS of treats!
So – that is NOT the case this year for many of us! But….we are still gonna celebrate as best as we can. Right?
Attitude is everything! And although I would rather not be in a Global Pandemic AT ALL, we’re gonna make the best of it, right?
One way for sure to get in the Halloween Spirit is — Halloween songs! And no better Halloween song than a Witch song!
I learned this one just over the weekend and HAD to make a video for it. It’s called “I’m A Mean Old Witch In A Hat.” It’s got easy motions to move to and the melody/chords have a VERY Halloween-y feel.
And then, because the little ones aren’t always fans of “mean old” anythings….we do a version called “I’m a NICE old Witch in a Hat” – which pairs nicely with books, like, Room On The Broom!
I teach the motions and the lyrics are in the video! But I’ll paste them below, too:
LYRICS:
I’m a Mean Old Witch With A Hat (and I’m a Nice Old Witch with a Hat)
I’m a Mean Old Witch With A Hat
I ride on my broom with my cat.
My nose is pointy and my chin is too.
You better be careful or I might scare you.
I’m a mean old witch with a hat – BOO!
I’m a NICE Old Witch With A Hat
I ride on my broom with my cat.
My nose is pointy and my chin is too.
But don’t you worry, I won’t scare you.
I’m a NICE Old Witch With A Hat – HELOOOO!
