Punky Pumpkin
I’ve got a friend who’s big and round
and all so golly gee whiz
lend me your ear and you will hear
just who this fellow is.
Punky Pumpkin the happy pumpkin
happy all the day
And his great big smile
will scare your cares away
Punky Pumpkin the happy pumpkin
never wears a frown
you can see that he’s cut out to be a clown
The candle light inside of him
makes his eyes light up and gleam
they shine right through the window at you
for a hap hap happy Halloween
Punky Pumpkin is a happy pumpkin
and do you know why?
Because he’s a jack o lantern
instead of being a pumpkin pie.
Found on “The White Cat†on the 16 August 1952 “Let’s Pretend†radio show. You can listen to it here. Look for the “White Cat” program and after you download it, the song is at the end of the program.
