Gimme A Smile (The Pumpkin Song) - Andrew Gold

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


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


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 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 little-est 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 pretty


Please gimme a smile

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


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


Gimme a smile
