Trick or Treat, Say Thank You

Piko knocks at the very first door and forgets what to say! With Mama Frog right beside him, he practises 'Trick or treat!' and a big 'Thank you!'. A friendly, not-scary Halloween manners song for ages 2–5.

Actions: Chorus: knock three times in the air on 'Knock, knock, knock', hold your hands out like a treat bag on 'Trick or treat!', then give a little bow on 'Say thank you!' and hold your grown-up's hand on 'Stay with your grown-up'. Chant: your grown-up sings 'Knock-knock!' and you sing it right back, then everyone sings a big happy 'THANK YOU!'. Verse 1: knock, then put your hands on your cheeks: oh! what do we say? Verse 2: say 'Trick or treat!' back to Mama Frog. Bridge: cup your hand by your ear on 'What do we say?' and answer 'Thank you!'. Verse 3: walk on the spot, hand in hand. Practise again at home before trick-or-treating, and stay with your grown-up the whole way.

Chorus

Porch light on? Knock, knock, knock!
Trick or treat! Then wait right there.
Get a treat? Say thank you!
Stay with your grown-up everywhere!
Knock-knock! Knock-knock!
Treat-a-treat! Treat-a-treat!
Knock-knock, treat-a-treat... THANK YOU!

Verse 1

Piko's at the very first door,
Pumpkin costume, big and round.
Knock, knock... oh! What do we say?
Piko's words cannot be found!

Verse 2

Mama Frog says, say it with me:
Trick or treat! Trick or treat!
Granny Hedgehog smiles and gives
Piko one bright sticker treat.

Chorus

Bridge

What do we say? Thank you!
What do we say? Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, every time,
Wave goodbye and walk a while.

Verse 3

On the sidewalk, hand in hand,
Only doors where lights are on.
Stay outside, right on the step,
Then we wave and walk along.

Chorus

Outro

Knock-knock, treat-a-treat...
Thank you... THANK YOU!
