[Verse 1]
C#m
Chubby Little Pumpkin
G#7 C#m
Sat in a patch Waitin' breathlessly
C#m E7
To see just who was gonna snatch him
A
He pumped himself up
G#7
He kept himself clean
G#7 F#7
'Cause it was just a few days
D#m7 G#7
Until Hall-oween
[Verse 2]
C#m
A pretty little cutie
G#7
In a lavender dress
C#m7
Saw our boy and picked him up
E7
Then she began to caress him
A
She hugged him and she squeezed
G#7
'Til they were cheek to cheek
C#m C#
She almost dropped him on his bottom
G#7 C#7
When he started to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
C#7
Could I make a small suggestion
F#m7
Like to ask you just in case
C7
You would remember this request
C7 B7
When you're designing my face? He said
[Chorus]
E7
Please please please please
A7
Gimme a smile
E7
I'm only gonna be here
A7
For the little-est while
E7
Don't wanna be the jack o' lantern
A7
Scarin' away
E7 C#m7
Every candy-lovin' kid
F#7 B7
Who's trick-or-treating today
Em7
No one wants a friend
E
Who only can frown
A7
Turn up the ends of my mouth up
C
Instead of turnin' 'em down
E G# D C#
Lookin' like a monster really isn't my style
C
So please make pretty please
B7 E
Gimme a smile
C B7 E
[Verse 3]
C#m
He was a little bit worried
D#m7 G#7
A little perplexed
E
'Cause all his other orange friends
E7
Were actin' tougher than the next guy
A
One put on a grimace
G#7
One wore a scowl
F#7
One even wore a sheet and
D#m G#7
Then began to howl
[Verse 4]
C#m
He was oh so happy
G#7
To be the little girl's choice
C#m
He giggled and he stammered
E7
In his shy little voice
A
Then he whispered to her sweetly
G#7
In their cozy embrace
C#m
I want a pretty smile
G# C#
Just like the one on your face
[Pre Chorus]
C#7
I'm only making one appearance
F#m
In this fleeting pumpkin life
C7
Could you grant my one desire
C7 B7
When you carve me with that knife?
[Chorus]
E7
Please please please please
A7
Gimme a smile
E7
I'm only gonna be here
A7
For the little-est while
E7
Don't wanna be the jack o' lantern
A7
Scarin' away
E7 C#m7
Every candy-lovin' kid
F#7 B7
Who's trick-or-treating today
E7
I'd be ever so grateful
E
If you give me a grin
A7
Let all the happy little children
C
See the brightness within
E G#
Don't gimme no fangs
D C#7
Like that mean croco-dile
C
Please make pretty please

Who's trick-or-treating today

Gimme a great big grin

I'll be the happiest guy

The evening after Halloween

I'll be the tastiest pie
