The Pumpkin and the Ladybug
The pumpkin and the ladybug
were drifting on the sea.
The pumpkin brought the biscuit tin,
the ladybug the tea.
The pumpkin said " I love you, dear
I hope that you love me,
I hope,
I hope,
I hope that you love me."
The pumpkin and the ladybug
set down upon some land,
and talked while strolling down the beach
in moonlight on the sand.
The pumpkin said "Please marry me.
Oh won't you take my hand?
oh won't
oh won't
oh won't you take my hand?"
The ladybug declared her love
and poured them cups of tea.
They smiled and ate their biscuits
as they sat beneath a tree.
The pumpkin sang a silly song
of love beside the sea,
of love,
of love,
of love beside the sea.
The pumpkin and the ladybug
were happy as could be.
They bought a charming cottage
on a hilltop by the sea.
They planted little pumpkin seeds
and raised a family,
and raised,
and raised,
and raised a family.
So this is where we leave them
in their cottage on a hill.
And if you look you'll find them
living happily there still..
the pumpkin loves the ladybug
and yes, he always will,
and yes,
and yes.
and yes, he always will.
