Gimme A Smile (The Pumpkin Song)

A chubby little pumpkin

Sat in a patch

Waiting breathlessly to see just who was gonna snatch him

He pumped himself up

He kept himself clean

'Cause it was just a few days until Halloween

A pretty little cutie

In a lavender dress

Saw our boy and picked him up

Then she began to caress him

She hugged him and she squeezed

Till they were cheek to cheek

She almost dropped him on his bottom

When he started to speak

Could I make a small suggestion?

Like to ask you just in case

You would remember this request

When you're designing my face

He said, please, please, please

Please, give me a smile

I'm only gonna be here for the littlest while

Don't wanna be the Jack-o'-lantern scaring away

Every candy loving kid

Who's trick or treating today

No one wants a friend who only can frown

Turn up the ends of my mouth

Instead of turning 'em down

Looking like a monster really isn't my style

So please make me, pretty please

Give me a smile

He was a little bit worried

A little perplexed

'Cause all his other orange friends

Were acting tougher than the next guy

One put on a grimace

One wore a scowl

One even wore a sheet and then began to howl

He was, oh, so happy to be the little girl's choice

He giggled and he stammered in his shy little voice

Then he whispered to her sweetly in their cozy embrace

I want a pretty smile

Just like the one on your face

I'm only making one appearance

In this fleeting pumpkin life

Could you grant my one desire

When you carve me with that knife?

Please, please, please

Please, give me a smile

I'm only gonna be here for the littlest while

Don't wanna be the Jack-o'-lantern scaring away

Every candy loving kid

Who's trick or treating today

I'd be ever so grateful

If you give me a grin

Let all the happy little children

See the brightness within

Don't gimme no fangs like that mean crocodile

Please make me, pretty please

Give me a smile

Please, please, give me a smile

I'm only gonna be here

For the littlest while

I don't wanna be the Jack-o'-lantern scaring away

Every candy loving kid

Who's trick or treating today

Give me a great big grin

I'll be the happiest guy

The evening after Halloween

I'll be the tastiest pie

Well, if I gotta go

Let me be going in style

Oh, please, please, pretty please

Give me a smile

Come on, give me a smile
