Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate (hold up fingers for pumpkins)
The first once 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 and run and run."
The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Then ooooooh went the wind
And out when the lights (clap hands to the word "out")
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight. (roll arms)

Great Pumpkin is Coming to Town
Tune: Frosty the Snowman
You better not shriek, You better not groan,
You better not howl, You better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is comin' to town!
He's going to find out From folks that he meets
Who deserves tricks And who deserves treats,
Great Pumpkin is comin' to town!
He'll search in every pumpkin patch, Haunted houses far and near,
To see if you've been spreading gloom Or bringing lot's of cheer.
So you better not shriek, You better not groan,
You better not howl, You better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is comin' to town!
