Had a wife and couldn’t keep her
Put her in a pumpkin shell
There he kept her very well.

Orange and round,orange and round.

Pumpkin on the Vine

Tune: Farmer in the Dell
The pumpkin on the vine,
The pumpkin on the vine,
I picked the one that weighed a ton,
And that’s the one that’s mine.
I made two funny eyes,
A mouth that’s oversize
The other goo my mother used,
For baking pumpkin pies.
(Repeat first stanza)

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Pumpkin, pumpkin, orange and round
Sitting quietly on the ground.
Once you were a seed so small
Now you are a great orange ball
Pumpkin, pumpkin, orange and round
Rolling, rolling on the ground.
Floppy Pumpkin

The Floppy, floppy scarecrow
Guards his pumpkin patch all day.
He waves his floppy, floppy hands
To scare the crows away!
Feet…arms…belly

Elevator Song

Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low
Oh, the city is great and the city is grand
There are lots of tall buildings
On a little piece of land
We live way up on the fifty-seventh floor
And this is what we do
When we go out the door!
Take the elevator up, take the elevator down (3 x)
Then we turn around!
