Two Eyed Pointy Teeth

Grinning Orange People Eater

 

 

Halloween curse on all who venture into the maze

Of Jack-O-Lantern alley off Darkness Street

Better move quickly and don’t look it in the eye

Run don’t walk, you better move those feet

 

 

I’ve come back this night to tell the tale

Listen to my warning or moan and wail

The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops!

 

 

It all began last All Hallows Eve

I ventured into this alley without any fear

I walked surefooted without a care

I’ve been dead now a whole full year

 

 

I’ve come back this night to tell the tale

Listen to my warning or moan and wail

The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops!

 

 

They tried to warn as I warn you now

Jack-O-Lanterns aren’t friendly at all

Smile their wicked smiles, warning beware

Everyone who hears me heed my call

 

 

I’ve come back this night to tell the tale

Listen to my warning or moan and wail

The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops!

 

 

Don’t look back if you’ve entered the maze

Keep pushing forward until you get through

Don’t stop to admire all the unique designs

One will catch you and complete its coup

 

 

I’ve come back this night to tell the tale

Listen to my warning or moan and wail

The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops!

 

 

A glint in its eye and a smile across its face

Those smiles are fascinating, yes it’s true

That’s what lures us in and snuffs out our lives

Beware run fast, it is coming after you

 

 

I’ve come back this night to tell the tale

Listen to my warning or moan and wail

The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops!

 

 

Now don’t turn that corner from Darkness Street

Into the alley where Jack-O-Lanterns are seen

My warning you have heard and you must heed

Or be next year’s ghost on Halloween

 

 

I’ve come back this night to tell the tale

Listen to my warning or moan and wail

The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops!

 

 

My scary Halloween tale is almost done

You listened and the color drained from your face

Do you hear them laughing at you tonight

Jack-O-Lanterns and I have set the pace

 

 

I’ve come back this night to tell the tale

Listen to my warning or moan and wail

The pumpkin ate me and I died … Oops!

 

 

I’m hiding in the shadows laughing too

I’m alive, oh yes and you are the fool

Pumpkins can’t eat; they’re empty inside

You believed every word; now isn’t that cool

 

 

I’ve fooled you my friend on All Hallows Eve

It was easy as pie, to my words you did cleave

A pumpkin didn’t eat me, the jokes on you … Oops!

 

 

It was a two Eyed Pointy Teeth Grinning Orange People Eater

Ha ha he he ho ho
