Don't we all a friend or two of the opposite sex that is purely platonic? Jim and his brother Joel are my best friends forever. How many fun times over beer and poker and shenanigans. I love you both dearly.

Halloween Friends: tune; Mary had a little lamb.

I'm a little Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You can be a friend of mine, a friend of Frankenstein.

I'm a little belfry bat, belfry bat, belfry bat
If you find me in your hat, it's me the belfry bat.

I'm a scary skeleton, skeleton. skeleton
I can frighten anyone, a scary skeleton

I'm a goblin, I'm a ghost. goblin ghost goblin ghost
Guess who's going to scare you most
A goblin and a ghost

All together we're a sight, we're a sight
Out to give the folks a fright
On Halloween night!
