Gimme a Smile (The Pumpkin Song)
A chubby little pumpkin
Sat in a patch
Waitin' 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
'Til 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
Gimme a smile
I'm only gonna be here
For the littlest while
Don't wanna be the jack o' lantern
Scarin' away every candy-lovin' 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 turnin' 'em down
Lookin' like a monster really isn't my style
So please make me pretty, please
Gimme a smile
He was a little bit worried
A little perplexed
'Cause all his other orange friends
Were actin' 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
Gimme a smile
I'm only gonna be here
For the littlest while
Don't wanna be the jack o' lantern
Scarin' away every candy-lovin' 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
Gimme me a smile
Please, please
Gimme a smile
I'm only gonna be here
For the littlest while
I don't wanna be the jack o' lantern
Scarin' away every candy-lovin' kid
Who's trick-or-treating today
Gimme 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 goin' in style
Oh please, please, pretty please
Gimme a smile
C'mon, gimme a smile
Sat in a patch
Waitin' breathlessly
To see just who was gonna snatch him
He pumped himself up
He kept himself clean
'Cause it was just a few days
