Gimme A Smile
Chubby little pun'kin sat in the patch
Waitin' breathlessly to see just who was gonna snatch him
He plucked himself up,
He kept himself clean 'cause it was just a few days 'til 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 you just in case you would remember this request when you're designin' 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-treatin' 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 worries, a little perplexed
'Cause all his orange friends were actin' tougher than the next guy
One put on a grimace, one more a scowl
One even wore a sheet and then be-gan 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 makin' one appearance in this fleetin' 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-treatin' today!
I'd be ever so grateful
If you'd gimme 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 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-treatin' today!
Give me a great big grin, I'll be the happiest guy!
The evenin' 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!
