            -song –
(tune: “Did You Ever See a Lassie?”)
Did you ever see a pumpkin, a pumpkin, a pumpkin?
Did you ever see a pumpkin way down in the patch?
There are big ones and little ones.
There are bumpy ones and flat ones.
Did you ever see a pumpkin way down in the patch?

Did you ever see a pumpkin, a pumpkin, a pumpkin?

There are tall ones and short ones.
There are yellow ones and orange ones.
Did you ever see a pumpkin way down in the patch?
