Still Our Little Pumpkin
0:00 / 0:00
Surf Rock
An original example from a little sister to Lena, who was born on Halloween and turns thirty this year. Every birthday party she has ever had turned into a costume party, and she still hands out candy to the trick-or-treaters in her party hat. When she turned ten, their mom's pumpkin cake caved in and Lena said it looked more like a real jack-o'-lantern anyway. Mom still calls her our little pumpkin. Her sister wanted it fun, a little spooky, with a big singalong chorus.
Fast early sixties surf rock at 158 BPM with splashy drums and a driving bass line. Warm, clear female rock vocal with a shout-along chorus. Reverb-drenched lead guitar, quiet verses and a loud distorted chorus, ending on a ringing chord.
“An original example of a surf rock birthday song from a little sister to Lena, who was born on Halloween and is turning thirty.”

Lyrics
You came in on Halloween When the moon was hanging low Every door was opening Every ghost was out for show Thirty years of birthdays, Lena Every one in some disguise Costume party every time Whether you said yes or no
Wolves are howling, bats are flying Witches crowding round your door Thirty years and still our pumpkin Still our little pumpkin
The year that you turned ten Mom baked a pumpkin cake It sank right in the middle We all watched the frosting break You just laughed and told us all It looked more like the real thing A jack-o'-lantern grin The best mistake she'd ever make
Wolves are howling, bats are flying Witches crowding round your door Thirty years and still our pumpkin Still our little pumpkin
Now you're out there at the door Still wearing your party hat Dropping candy in the bags Of a vampire and a cat And next year I'll be right there Little sister by your side Ready in whatever mask You'll pretend you hate like that
Wolves are howling, bats are flying Witches crowding round your door Thirty years and still our pumpkin Still our little pumpkin
Mom still says it soft and slow Like you're ten and small Thirty doesn't change a thing Thirty changes nothing at all
Wolves are howling, bats are flying Thirty years of trick or treat Happy birthday, Lena, you're forever Still our little pumpkin
Keep the hat on, Halloween is yours
