The Pixie Stole My Pumpkin

Lyrics

[Intro] At the edge of the garden, where the tall corn leans, A pumpkin sat smiling in the silver-leafed greens. [Verse 1] I painted it freckles and a crooked grin, Set it by the gate when the dusk blew in. Then a flutter of wings and a twinkle of blue— Now the pumpkin is gone, and my scoop’s missing too! [Pre-Chorus] There’s a tiny gold footprint on the garden wall, And a giggle that goes, “You’ll never find it at all!” [Chorus] The pixie stole my pumpkin, took it flying through the night! She’s got my grinning jack-o’-lantern tucked away from sight. I’ll follow every sparkle, every leaf that spins and sways— The pixie stole my pumpkin, but I’ll find it before the day! [Verse 2] Past the old stone fountain, through the marigolds, I heard a merry humming by the garden gnome. There she sat on a mushroom with my pumpkin for a throne, Making silly little faces as she polished its nose. [Pre-Chorus] She said, “I only borrowed it to lead the bats back home,” Then she handed me a candle and a cinnamon cone. [Chorus] The pixie stole my pumpkin, took it flying through the night! She’s got my grinning jack-o’-lantern tucked away from sight. We’ll light it by the doorway, let its funny face amaze— The pixie stole my pumpkin, now we’ll share it through the haze! [Bridge] We set it on the doorstep, with a candle burning bright, The bats came swooping safely to the barn across the night. She waved goodbye at sunrise; I gave one last small cheer— “Next Halloween, dear pixie, you can borrow it—come near!” [Final Chorus] The pixie stole my pumpkin, took it flying through the night! But now it guards the doorway with its crooked grin alight. We’ll tell the tale each October, when the autumn leaves are gold— The pixie stole my pumpkin… and brought it back, I’m told! [Outro] A flutter by the window, a giggle in the air— My pumpkin’s on the porch… I think she’s still out there!
