[Verse 1]
C#m
Chubby Little Pumpkin
G#7            C#m
Sat in a patch Waitin' breathlessly
C#m         E7
To see just who was gonna snatch him
A
He pumped himself up
G#7
He kept himself clean
G#7           F#7
'Cause it was just a few days
      D#m7  G#7
Until Hall-oween


[Verse 2]
C#m
A pretty little cutie
G#7
In a lavender dress
        C#m7
Saw our boy and picked him up
         E7
Then she began to caress him
    A
She hugged him and she squeezed
               G#7
'Til they were cheek to cheek
           C#m                C#
She almost dropped him on his bottom
        G#7        C#7
When he started to speak


[Pre-Chorus]
C#7
Could I make a small suggestion
        F#m7
Like to ask you just in case
          C7
You would remember this request
C7                       B7
When you're designing my face? He said


[Chorus]
E7
Please please please please
A7
Gimme a smile
E7
I'm only gonna be here
        A7
For the little-est while
E7
Don't wanna be the jack o' lantern
A7
Scarin' away
E7                 C#m7
Every candy-lovin' kid
            F#7         B7
Who's trick-or-treating today

Em7
No one wants a friend
E
Who only can frown
            A7
Turn up the ends of my mouth up
           C
Instead of turnin' 'em down
E              G#             D        C#
Lookin' like a monster really isn't my style
   C
So please make pretty please
B7      E
Gimme a smile

C B7 E


[Verse 3]
         C#m
He was a little bit worried
  D#m7      G#7
A little perplexed
               E
'Cause all his other orange friends
            E7
Were actin' tougher than the next guy
A
One put on a grimace
G#7
One wore a scowl
F#7
One even wore a sheet and
       D#m    G#7
Then began to howl


[Verse 4]
       C#m
He was oh so happy
          G#7
To be the little girl's choice
   C#m
He giggled and he stammered
      E7
In his shy little voice
        A
Then he whispered to her sweetly
         G#7
In their cozy embrace
  C#m
I want a pretty smile
              G#          C#
Just like the one on your face


[Pre Chorus]
         C#7
I'm only making one appearance
        F#m
In this fleeting pumpkin life
          C7
Could you grant my one desire
C7                                 B7
When you carve me with that knife?


[Chorus]
E7
Please please please please
A7
Gimme a smile
E7
I'm only gonna be here
        A7
For the little-est while
E7
Don't wanna be the jack o' lantern
A7
Scarin' away
E7                 C#m7
Every candy-lovin' kid
            F#7         B7
Who's trick-or-treating today

       E7
I'd be ever so grateful
       E
If you give me a grin
            A7
Let all the happy little children
        C
See the brightness within
      E        G#
Don't gimme no fangs
          D          C#7
Like that mean croco-dile
C
Please make pretty please
B7      E
Gimme a smile

Scarin' away
      E7
Every candy-lovin' kid
C#7            F#7      B7
Who's trick-or-treating today
        E7
Gimme a great big grin
E7
I'll be the happiest guy
            A
The evening after Halloween
            C
I'll be the tastiest pie
