The Dark, Dark House
Traditional Chant

 

Mary Lou Colgin has compiled traditional children's chants in
One Potato, Two Potato, Three Potato, Four: 165 Chants for Children.

 

In a dark, dark wood, there was a dark, dark house.

And in that dark, dark house, there was a dark, dark room.

And in that dark, dark room, there was a dark, dark closet.

And in that dark, dark closet, there was a dark, dark shelf.

And in that dark, dark shelf, there was a dark, dark box.

And in that dark, dark box, there was a GHOST!
