[00:17.76] There lived a merchant in the days of old
[00:20.96] Who is remembered for the things he sold.
[00:24.51] No silly trinkets silver, bronze or gold.
[00:27.89] So I'm told, so I'm told.
[00:31.73] He made a most delicious pumpkin pie,
[00:35.02] Which he presented to the passersby.
[00:38.77] Before the sun set he'd be all but dry.
[00:41.92] Folks would buy the whole supply.
[00:46.03] He lived alone (he lived alone)
[00:47.94] And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.
[00:52.53] I do not know his name (he'd never say his name).
[00:55.49] He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie.
[01:07.19] Before you knew it he was in full swing.
[01:10.79] His pumpkin pies became the next big thing.
[01:14.46] Soon he was called upon to feed the King.
[01:17.56] And they'd sing, feed the King
[01:21.73] The pie of pumpkin filled the King with glee.
[01:24.84] He offered a castle for the recipe, but...
[01:28.64] The merchant wouldn't even give it up for three.
[01:32.02] No not he, no not he.
[01:35.87] He lived alone (he lived alone)
[01:37.88] And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.
[01:42.20] I do not know his name (he'd never say his name).
[01:45.04] He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie.
[01:56.90] The King was angry and he came unwound.
[02:00.57] He called his men, and soon the merchant found
[02:03.86] Himself in a torture chamber underground.
[02:05.87] Tied and bound, he sighed and frowned.
[02:11.17] And so they tortured him for night and day.
[02:14.64] They made him scream so much his hair turned gray, but--
[02:18.40] As for the recipe, he would not say.
[02:21.44] They could not flay his pride away.
[02:25.60] He lived alone (he lived alone)
[02:27.52] And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.
[02:32.03] I do not know his name (he'd never say his name).
[02:34.84] He never wanted all the pain that came with pumpkin pie.
