"Five Little Pumpkins"

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,

The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"

The second one said, "There's a chill in the air."

The third one said, "But we don't care!"

The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run."

Oooooooo went the wind

And out went the lights!

And the five little pumpkins

Rolled out of sight!
