Persimmon Pie - An Autumnal Children's Folk Song (inspired by a popular Autumn fruit)

 1^st Verse:

The man in the moon;

he was whistling a tune

when I saw him wink his eye.

 

Then, with long silver spoon;

he reached down from the moon

and he ate a big plate of pie.

 

Chorus:

 

Oh,

Persimmon pie;

Persimmon pie;

there’s nothing as scrumptious

as Persimmon pie.

The witch and

the scarecrow;

the pumpkin

and I;

we all ate

a big plate

of Persimmon pie.

 

2^nd Verse:

 

On Halloween Night,

the last swallow takes flight

and with little wing waves goodbye.

 

But he chirps, “Never  fear,

we will be back next year

so save us a big piece of pie”.

 

2^nd Chorus:

 

Oh,

Persimmon pie;

Persimmon pie;

How scrumdiddly-umdiddly-

-umptious are thy.

The fox and

the hedgehog;

the badger

and I;

we all ate

a big plate

of Persimmon pie.

 

3^rd Verse:

 

Oh, leaves may turn brown

and float to the ground;

leaving a carpet of gold.

 

But though seasons may change;

one thing will remain

as it was in the days of old.

 

3rd Chorus:

 

Oh,

Persimmon pie;

Persimmon pie;

The most delicious dish

that you will ever try.

The postman;

the dustman ;

the milkman

and I;

will all have

a big plate

of Persimmon pie.
