Pumpkin Poems and Songs

Pumpkin Song

(tune: Have you ever seen a lassie?)
Have you ever seen a pumpkin, a pumpkin a pumpkin?
Have you ever seen a pumpkin, that grows on a vine?
A round one, a tall one, a bumpy one, a squashed one.
Have you ever seen a pumpkin, that grows on a vine?

Pumpkin, Pumpkin

Pumpkin, pumpkin
sitting on a wall
Pumpkin, pumpkin
tip and fall
pumpkin, pumpkin
rolling down the street
Pumpkin, pumpkin
Good to eat!

A Pumpkin Seed

A pumpkin seed’s a little thing
When it’s planted in the spring
But, oh, the fun it can bring.

At Halloween it turns into
A pumpkin pie for me and you
Or jack-l-lantern that says
BOO!

Pumpkin Song

(tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a little pumpkin
Orange and round
Here is my stem
There is the ground
When I get all cut up,
Don’t you shout!
Just open me up
And scoop me out!

We are Pumpkins

(tune: Mary had a little lamb)
We are pumpkins, big and round
big and round, big and round
We are pumpkins, big and round
Seated on the ground.

Mr. Pumpkin

(tune: Where is thumbkin)
Mr. Pumpkin, Mr. Pumpkin
Round and fat
Round and fat.
Harvest time is coming
Harvest time is coming
Yum, yum, yum.
That is that!

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
First one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late!”
Second one said, “There are witches in the air!”
Third one said, “But we don’t care!”
Fourth one said,” Let’s run and run and run!”
Fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”
Ooooooooooh went the wind
Out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
