“Time was the feilds at night were a place for a kid
one kid would count off while the rest went and hid
not one to just watch it being done
I jumped into it, it was a lot of fun
the one doing the counting would try to peek
but gone now are those nights of hide and seek
it was a night like that the story of The Great Pumpkin` was told to me
on the withching hour of all hallow`s ween The Great Pumpkin breaks free
everything has to be just right on that special night, but there`s a catch
seems the moon has to shine before The great Pumpkin` can leave the patch
kids used to play out the better part of the night, but not any more
The Great Pumpkin` has a taste for sweets and he`ll show up at your door
nothing is sweeter than little children and that is what he eats
so be in early and don`t open the door when The Great Pumpkin` Tricker or Treats
now that`s how I remember hearing the story so, don`t get caught out late
that, or I could be still dreaming, maybe it`s just all of that candy I ate”
