What are the lyrics to the Punkin Chunkin Anthem?
A.The Punkin Chunkin Anthem, written in 1989 by William and Dawn Thompson has become a traditional part of the event’s daily opening ceremonies. Now you can sing along: It was the end of October, the beginning of November. The air was cold and clear and I said, Boys listen here, I think I can make a punkin fly. John said, Cannot. I said, Can too. So we put that punkin in a bucket, swung around, away it flew. John said, No fair. We said, Hell, it’s in the air. So the challenge was made and the gauntlet was laid To build a machine to power a punkin through the air. John said, Springs are the way to go. Bill said, I don’t believe so. It’s Punkin Chunkin time again. Come on, all you neighbors and friends. I’ll show you how to make a punkin fly … rain, snow or blow. Them punkins are gonna go!
