Pumpkin Carols

It's time to clear your throats and try out these Peanuts Pumpkin Carols! It was a tradition in our family while I was growing up to carve pumpkins, eat doughnuts and apple juice and sing these fun carols with lyrics made just for Halloween and the melodies set to familiar Christmas tunes. I just wanted to share them with all in case you wanted to start your own tradition. Thanks Mom and Dad for making our holidays fun with these traditions!

DECK THE PATCH (Deck the Halls)

Deck the patch with orange and black,Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Take along your goody sack,Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Troll the ancient Pumpkin carol,Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the Great One rise before us,Fa la la la la, la la la la.
As we sing the Pumpkin chorus,Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow him as he ascends,Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Join with true Great Pumpkin friends,Fa la la la la, la la la la.

GREAT PUMPKIN IS COMING TO TOWN (Santa Clause Is Coming to Town)

Oh, you better not shriek,You better not groan,You better not howl,You better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is comin' to town!
He's going to find out,From folks that he meets,Who deserves tricks,And who deserves treats,
Great Pumpkin is comin' to town!
He'll search in every pumpkin patch,
Haunted houses far and near,
To see if you've been spreading gloom,
Or bringing lots of cheer.
So, you better not shriek,You better not groan,You better not howl,You better not moan,
Great Pumpkin is comin' to town!


I HEARD THE BELLS ON HALLOWEEN (I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day)

I heard the bells on Halloween,
Their old, familiar carols scream,
And wild and sweet the words repeat,
The Pumpkin season's here again.
Then pealed the bells more loud and strong,
Great Pumpkin comes before too long,
The good will get - the bad will fret.
The Pumpkin season's here again!

I'M DREAMING OF THE GREAT PUMPKIN (I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas)

I'm dreaming of the Great Pumpkin,
Just like I do this time each year.
When he brings nice toys,
To good girls and boys,
Who wait for him to appear.
I'm dreaming of the Great Pumpkin,
With every Pumpkin card I write.
May your jack-o-lanterns burn bright,
When the Great Pumpkin visits you tonight.

O PUMPKIN CARDS (Oh Christmas Tree)

O Pumpkin cards! O Pumpkin cards!
Carry greetings to my friends.
O Pumpkin cards! O Pumpkin cards!
Carry greetings to my friends.
And let them know the day is here.
When the Great Pumpkin will appear.
O Pumpkin cards! O Pumpkin cards!
Carry greetings to my friends.

PUMPKIN BELLS (Jingle Bells)

Dashing through the streets,
In our costumes bright and gay,
To each house we go,
Laughing all the way.
Halloween is here,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to trick-or-treat,
And sing Pumpkin carols tonight!
Oh, Pumpkin bells! Pumpkin bells!
Ringing loud and clear,
Oh what fun Great Pumpkin brings,
When Halloween is here!
Pumpkin bells! Pumpkin bells!
Ringing loud and clear,
Oh what fun Great Pumpkin brings,
When Halloween is here!


THE 12 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN (12 Days of Christmas)

On the twelfth day of Halloween my true love gave to me,
twelve bats a-flying,
eleven masks a-leering,
ten ghouls a-groaning,
nine ghosts a booing,
eight monsters shrieking,
seven pumpkins glowing,
six goblins gobbling,
five scarey spooks,
four skeletons,
three black cats,
two trick-or-treaters,
And an owl in an old, dead tree.


Shivery Yells (Silver Bells)

We're on sidewalks, we're on porches, dressed in costumes to scare;
Through the city we're ringing the doorbells.
Trick or treating, candy eating, gooey stuff in our hair,
But the most fun is shrieking out loud: SHIVERY YELLS, SHIVERY YELLS,
That's the Halloween nitty-gritty.
Moan and groan, leave us alone,
Halloween's just one night a year.


Up In The Pumpkin Patch (Up on the Rooftop)

Up in the pumpkin patch, witches pause,
Out jumps the Great One; hear the applause?
Down through the rows with goodies and toys
All for this follower's Halloween joys!
HAUNT! HAUNT! HAUNT! who wouldn't want..
HAUNT! HAUNT! HAUNT! who wouldn't want?
To be in a pumpkin patch CHEER! CHEER! CHEER!
Waiting for the Great One and being sincere.


Pumpkin Wonderland (Winter Wonderland)

Screech owls hoot. are you listen'in?
beneath the moon; all is glist'nin--
A real scarey sight; we're happy tonight.
Waitin' in a pumpkin wonderland!
In the patch, we're watching for Great Pumpkin;
We've been waiting for this night all year.
For we've tried to be nice to everybody,
And to grow a pumpkin patch that is sincere!!!
Later on, while we're eating; what we got trick-or-treating;
We'll share all our sacks of Halloween snacks;
waiting in a pumpkin wonderland!!
