Casper at Earlham Way

Lirik

[Intro] At Earlham Way, the porch is dressed in fright, The Earlham boys are keeping watch tonight. [Verse 1] Dommy Bandit checks the latch twice over, Joshy guards the bowl of candy by the sofa. Cliffy peeks behind a sheet, Jonny minds the door, Then something clanks inside the heating vent once more. [Pre-Chorus] A cold gust curls beneath the hall, A pale shape drifts across the wall. [Chorus] Casper came through the heating vent, The boys all froze, then paid the rent— In courage, candy, one brave grin, While little boots came up the walk again. Will they knock, and will they stay? No one knows at Earlham Way. [Verse 2] The doorbell rings; the hallway holds its breath, A tiny witch says, “Trick or treat!”—the bravest test. Joshy lifts the bowl, Dommy takes one step, Cliffy and Jonny watch the ghost drift overhead. [Bridge] A rattle in the vent, a whisper by the stairs, A pumpkin tips its hat as if it owns the place. The boys look at each other; the children count to three— Then Casper floats down gently, asking for a sweet. [Final Chorus] Casper came through the heating vent, The boys all laughed at how the night was spent. The little trick-or-treaters cheer and stay, And candy fills the bowl at Earlham Way. Will they survive? Well, now we know— They left with sweets and a ghost in tow! [Outro] At Earlham Way, the porch light sways, The Earlham boys will tell this tale for days.
