[Verse] On the Seven Seas sailed Poker Pete A gambler sharp no man could beat But his luck ran out on a moonlit night When he cheated death in a poker fight [Chorus] Hey ho and a bottle of rum Poker Pete met his final hum Sing it loud with a pirate cheer On Halloween his end was clear [Verse 2] By the campfire on that fateful hour Pumpkins sang with eerie power Their voices echoed through the night As Pete met his end in the ghostly light [Bridge] Pumpkins glow with an orange gleam Singing songs from a pirate's dream And as the cards fell from his hand Pete saw the end in a haunted land [Chorus] Hey ho and a bottle of rum Poker Pete met his final hum Sing it loud with a pirate cheer On Halloween his end was clear [Verse 3] No more cheats and no more lies Pete's spirit drifted to the skies But each Halloween the pumpkins sing Of Poker Pete and his gambling fling
