Hole In The Pumpkin

(album: Shocking Out - 1988)

There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream
There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream

I'm telling you something
About this system
If it ain't one thing
It is eleven-teen other
Don't think I'm joking
Not what I'm smoking
Just that the money not running
Ask your mama's and papa's, hey

There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream
There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream

Heard a voice saying, "Dreadlocks what ya talking about?"
Is not a fiction, it is fact, from the horse's mouth
Them elements rocking, my little boat on the sea
And now a catch them playing, politics on me, hey

There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream
There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream

They had me struggling, so I start some juggling
Then they came meddling, inna I-man business
I don't want no dodo, come treat me like a yoyo
And when the life get soso
They run away to Acapulco, hey

There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream
There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream

They had me struggling, so I started juggling
And then they came meddling, inna I-man business, wha'
I don't want no dodo, come treat me like a yoyo
And when the living get soso
They run away to Acapulco, hey

There's a hole in the pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween
And if it wasn't one thing
This Dread would scream
There's a hole in your pumpkin
This-a must-a be Halloween..
