The Basement

Spiders, snakes, bats, and rats
Too the basement we must go
For that’s where the candies at

                                                                          
Spiders, snakes, bats, and rats
Now that were on our way
There’s no turning back

Spiders, snakes, bats, and rats
All four like to bite kids
That’s a natural fact

Spiders, snakes, bats, and rats
Stick close together
And they will not attack
    
Spiders, snakes, bats, and rats
Err,… excuse me!,
But there’s something crawling in your hair
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?

An incantation I recite when I accompany my two nieces, 6 & 8 to the basement.  They're almost as scared to venture there, as I am.
