Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
|
Spreading wisdom and cash around
|
Fed the starving and housed the poor
|
Showed the Vatican what gold's for
|
|
But he made too many enemies
|
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
|
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
|
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
|
|
Peter Pumpkinhead brought to shame
|
Governments who would slur his name
|
Lusts and sex scandals failed outright
|
Peter merely said, "Any kind of love is all right"
|
|
But he made too many enemies
|
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
|
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
|
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
|
|
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
|
Had him nailed to a chunk of wood
|
He died grinning on live TV
|
Hanging there he looked a lot like you, and an awful lot like me!
|
|
But he made too many enemies
|
Of the people who would keep us on our knees
|
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
|
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
|
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
|
Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin?
|
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
|
Oh my, oh my, don't it make you want to cry, oh
