Who else loves Halloween?! I have always loved the holiday but found the music a little lacking. I mean, we love The Monster Mash and all, but is that really the only Halloween song we have? Feels like it sometimes!
So, we got to thinking. What other Halloween songs are out there? And, can we make our own? Keep reading to find out!
Classic Five Little Pumpkins Song
“Five Little Pumpkins” is a classic Halloween-themed rhyme and song that is widely used in preschool and early elementary settings. The song features five little pumpkins sitting on a gate, each with a different expression or action, and it follows a playful, rhythmic structure. It’s fun, interactive, and perfect for young children, with a lighthearted Halloween vibe.
Here Are the Lyrics:
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late!”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air!”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run!”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”
Ooooh, went the wind and out went the light,
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
Cute! But, what if we made our own version? Well, we did! But, not only did we enhance the lyrics, we made two music videos for your enjoyment, each featuring a different voice and style. Check them out below!

Five Little Pumpkins by Fusion Muse Song Lyrics
[Verse]
Five little pumpkins sitting on the gate
The first one said oh my it’s getting late
The second one said there are witches in the air
The third one said but we don’t care
[Chorus]
The fourth one said let’s run and run and run
The fifth one said it’s Halloween fun
Then ooh went the wind and out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight
[Verse]
Five little pumpkins sitting in a row
The first one said there’s a spooky glow
The second one laughed we’ll have some fun
The third one smiled and said let’s run
[Chorus]
The fourth one said look at the moon so bright
The fifth one said ghosts come out at night
Then ooh went the wind and out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight
[Bridge]
Creeping through the shadows all night long
Singing out loud to our Halloween song
With magical nights and pumpkins around
Everywhere’s a playground in this haunted town
[Chorus]
The fourth one said let’s run and run and run
The fifth one said it’s Halloween fun
Then ooh went the wind and out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight
