Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
First one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
Second one said "There are witches in the air,"
Third one said, "but we don't care!"
Fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
Fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooo ooo went the wind, and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
