Great Pumpkin
ttto "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane

One house gives you cookies,
And one house, popcorn balls,
But it seems that there are kids who
Don't see any sweets at all;
Go ask Charlie,
With his Bit-O-Walls.

And if you go sit with pumpkins,
'Cause you hope one's gonna call,
Tell 'em your patch is the sincerest one
Or Sally's gonna squall
And maul Linus,
When all her hopes fall.

When you've dueled with the Baron,
And machine guns have brought you low,
And your focus is drowning sorrow,
To which quaff, then, do you go?
Go ask Snoopy;
I think he'll know.

When parties all are over,
You've bobbed for apples red,
And your pumpkin-sitting brother's
Molars chatter in his head,
Remind him of what Lucy said,
"Go to bed! Go to bed!
(You blockhead!)"

Nice. Good words, good tune.
Sean
