There lived a merchant in the days of old
|
who is remembered for the things he sold.
|
No silly trinkets silver, bronze or gold.
|
So I'm told, so I'm told.
|
|
He made a most delicious pumpkin pie,
|
which he presented to the passersby.
|
Before the sun set he'd be all but dry.
|
Folks would buy the whole supply.
|
|
He lived alone (he lived alone)
|
and every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.
|
I do not know his name (he'd never say his name).
|
He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie.
|
|
Before you knew it he was in full swing.
|
His pumpkin pies became the next big thing.
|
Soon he was called upon to feed the King.
|
And they'd sing, feed the King
|
|
The pie of pumpkin filled the King with glee.
|
He offered a castle for the recipe, but...
|
the merchant wouldn't even give it up for three.
|
No not he, no not he.
|
|
He lived alone (he lived alone)
|
and every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.
|
I do not know his name (he'd never say his name).
|
He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie.
|
|
The King was angry and he came unwound.
|
He called his men, and soon the merchant found
|
himself in a torture chamber underground.
|
Tied and bound, he sighed and frowned.
|
|
And so they tortured him for night and day.
|
They made him scream so much his hair turned gray, but--
|
as for the recipe, he would not say.
|
They could not flay his pride away.
|
|
He lived alone (he lived alone)
|
and every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.
|
I do not know his name (he'd never say his name).
|
He never wanted all the pain that came with pumpkin pie.
