[Em] “The jack-o-[D6]lantern’s in your [Cmaj7] head”, she said to [B7] me,
[Em] “The carving is [D6] easy if you [Am7] simply let it [B7-2] be.
[Em] I’d like to [D6] help you in your [Cmaj7] pumpking-carving [B7] spree.
There must be, [Em] fifty [Am] ways to carve a [Em] pumpkin.” [NC]
[Em] She said: “It’s [D6] really not my [Cmaj7] habit to in-[B7]trude,
But I [Em] saw you staring [D6] at that gourd and [Am7] looking quite con-[B7-2]fused,
[Em] It’s really [D6] not so diffi- [Cmaj7]cult you silly [B7] dude.
There must be, [Em] fifty [Am] ways to carve a [Em] pumpkin, [NC]
[Em] Fifty [Am] ways to carve a [Em] pumpkin.”
Just chop off the [G] lid, Cyd, scoop out the [Bb] seeds, Reid,
You don’t need a [C] plan, Ann, just listen to [G] me.
Hack out the [G] teeth, Keith, gouge out an [Bb] eye, Guy,
Toss in a [C] light, Dwight, and set your art [G] free.
Ooh, chop off the [G] lid, Cyd, scoop out the [Bb] seeds, Reid,
You don’t need a [C] plan, Ann, just let yourself [G] be.
Hack out the [G] teeth, Keith, gouge out an [Bb] eye, Guy,
Toss in a [C] light, Dwight, and set your art [G] free.
[Em] I said: “O- [D6] kay, but I don’t [Cmaj7] know where to be- [B7]gin.
[Em] Should I [D6] shape a nose, or [Am7] make a goofy [B7-2] grin?
[Em] And do I [D6] use a knife or a [Cmaj7] piece of jagged [B7] tin?
There must be, [Em] fifty [Am] ways to carve a [Em] pumpkin.” [NC]
[Em] She said: [D6] Use a knife or [Cmaj7] stab it with an [B7] awl,
You can [Em] use a rusty [D6] axe, a sword, [Am7] or even a chain-[B7-2]saw.
[Em] It’s not the [D6] tool, you fool, don’t [Cmaj7] be so ration-[B7]al,
There must be, [Em] fifty [Am] ways to carve a [Em] pumpkin, [NC]
[Em] Fifty [Am] ways to carve a [Em] pumpkin.”
