Five Little Pumpkins

Words & Music:

Five little pumpkins sittin' on a gate.

The first one said, "Oh, my!  It's getting late!"

The second one said, "There are witches in the air!"

The third one said, "But, we don't care!"

The fourth one said, "Let's run!  Let's run!"

the fifth one said, "Isn't Hallowe'en fun?"

Ooooo!  Went the wind, and out went the light.

And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
