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 put to shame
Governments
who would slur his name
Plots and sex scandals
failed outright
Peter merely said
Any kind of love is alright
But he made too many enemies
Of the people
who would keep us on our knees
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray 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
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Oh my oh my oh
Doesn't it make you
want to cry oh
