There lived a merchant in the days of old
Who is remembered for the things he sold
No silly trinkets silver, bronze or gold
So I'm told
So I'm told

He made a most delicious pumpkin pie
Which he presented to the passers by
Before the sun set he'd be all but dry
Those would by the wholesome pie

He lived alone(He lived alone)
And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie
I do not no his name (his name)
He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie

Before you knew it he was in full swing
His pumpkin pies became the "next big thing"
Soon he was called upon to feed the King
And they'd sing "feed the King"

The pie of pumpkin filled the King with glee
He offered a castle for the recipe
But the merchant wouldn't even give it up for three
No not he (no not he)
No not he

He lived alone(He lived alone)
And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie
I do not no his name (his name)
He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie

The King was angry and he came unwound
He called his men and soon the merchant found
Himself in a torture chamber underground
Tied and bound, he sighed and frowned

And so they tortured him for a night and day
They made him scream so much his hair turned grey
But as for the recipe he would not say
They could not play his pride away

He lived alone(He lived alone)
And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie
I do not no his name (his name)
He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie
