Openmic week 107 original song, "Pumpkin Spice" by Revdocwelch

in #openmic6 years ago (edited)

Soon we are entering into the holiday season and we will be seeing more pumpkin products. One of my strong memories is selling pumpkins at multiple churches as a youth fundraiser, and we served this particular chuch in the late 90s and early 2000s.. We got the pumpkins from Native American farmers and so made money for them and for us. Win win!
Also this song recalls the American tradition of Thanksgiving. We are particularly fond of this one because my wife Gail (who took tis picture) is a direct Descendant of Gov. Bradford who proclaimed the first TDay...it was to be a day where many people of many backgrounds would share a meal together, giving thanks to God who gives us all that we have. GIVE THANKS!

Pumpkin spice

I see pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere
As far as I can see, and I smell it in the air.
Pumpkins on the porch, Pumpkins in the pie.
Everything is better if you’ve got some pumpkin spice.
Chorus: Pumpkin spice is nice, it’s legal everywhere,
You can put it in your pie or you can drink it in your beer.
Let’s eat, eat a lot, holidays are on us.
Get your plate and fill it up.
Celebrate, no time to wait, holidays are on us,
Get your plate and fill it up.
Chorus:
T Day means turkey, or tofurky if you like,
Whatever is your preference,
You’re gonna eat it with a smile.
Long ago a governor proclaimed a day of love,
To give thanks to our maker, Then eat more than enough.
Chorus:
We’re sharing with our families, table looks so fine.
Pardon me, I might be wrong,
But is that pumpkin spice? Chorus:
