"Bubble hiccup"
Hi!
Please, can you explain me the meaning of the following sentences? I found the meaning of each word, but putting them together, I didn't understand very well. The sentences come from a halloween song:
"The slime goes slurp pop splat"
"The ooze goes bubble hiccup"
Also,what's the idea of the underlined part:
"Skletons may dance about by Jack 'O lanterns light ?
Thank you very much,
David
