Oh Jack O'Lantern
With chains, blindfold, and handcuffs galore
Helpless you'll be as we go for the gore -
Put you on a table with a knife in our hand
Then we'll start on a carving fast as we can
We'll cut off your head
And scoop out your brain,
We'll gouge out your eyeballs,
But you'll feel no pain
As we place a candle to light within
And perch you outside upon your chin.
The ghosts and goblins will dance all round
Tomorrow Jack you'll be thrown to the ground
But for tonight you're the center of attention
Lots better than to be stuck with coachmen
Not just a footnote in fairytale buzz
You'll be the star minus most of your fuzz
Oh Jack O' Lantern burning bright
In the misty pale moonlight,
Don't you have a lovely twin brother?
A matching pair just needs one other.
Come on Jack show us the way
To find another just for today
If it isn't your mate, he'll wonder why
You let him end up just a pumpkin pie
Jim 1996
