Gimme A Smile Lyrics - Halloween Howls - Andrew Gold

Chubby little pun'kin sat in the patch 

Waitin' breathlessly to see just who was gonna snatch him 

He plucked himself up, 

He kept himself clean 'cause it was just a few days 'til Halloween 

A pretty little cutie in a lavender dress 

Saw our boy and picked him up 

Then she began to caress him 

She hugged him and she squeezed till they were cheek to cheek 

She almost dropped him on his bottom when he started to speak! 

Could I make a small suggestion? 

Like to ask you you just in case you would remember this request when you're designin' my face 

He said: 

Please, please, please, please gimme a smile! 

I'm only gonna be here for the littlest while 

Don't wanna be the jack-o-lantern scarin' away 

Every candy-lovin' kid who's trick-or-treatin' today! 

No one wants a friend who only can frown- 

Turn up the ends of my mouth instead of turnin' 'em down! 

Lookin' like a monster really isn't my style 

So please, make me, pretty please! 

Gimme a smile! 

He was a little bit worries, a little perplexed 

'Cause all his orange friends were actin' tougher than the next guy 

One put on a grimace, one more a scowl 

One even wore a sheet and then be-gan to howl! 

He was oh so happy to be the little girl's choice 

He giggled and he stammered in his shy little voice 

Then he whispered to her sweetly, 

In their cozy embrace 

"I want a pretty smile, just like the one on your face!" 

"I'm only makin' one appearance in this fleetin' pumpkin life!" 

"Could you grant my one desire when you carve me with that knife?" 

Please, please, please, please gimme a smile! 

I'm only gonna be here for the littlest while... 

Don't wanna be the jack-o-lantern scarin' away 

Every candy lovin' kid who's trick-or-treatin' today! 

I'd be ever so grateful 

If you'd gimme a grin 

Let all the happy little children see the brightness within! 

Don't gimme no fangs like that mean crocodile! 

Please, make me, pretty please, 

Gimme a smile! 

Please! Please! Gimme a smile? 

I'm only gonna be here for the littlest while! 

I don't wanna be the jack-o-lantern scarin' away 

Every candy lovin' kid who's trick-or-treatin' today! 

Give me a great big grin, I'll be the happiest guy! 

The evenin' after Halloween I'll be the tastiest pie! 

Well, if I gotta go, let me be goin' in style! 

Oh please, please, pretty please! 

Gimme a smile! 

C'mon! Gimme a smile!
