Parmesan carrots with mushrooms Frankly that I've never been keen It's pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes That's for my Hallowe'en tea Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes That has always been my dream
Physicians moan about the guarantees of vegetables But to be frank what I'm keen on is that same old scene Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes That is my Hallowe'en tea Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes That's why I'm always keen Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes They'll keep me clean Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes
I'm old, not much, but I'm going mad Because of the starvation that I've had Clouds rush by but I always have my dream
Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes That is my hallowe'en tea Pumpkin soup and mashed potatoes
