Let's begin)



Peter Pumpkinhead came to town

Spreading wisdom and cash around

Fed the starving and housed the poor

Showed the Vatican what gold's for



(Chorus)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 pulled them all

Emptied churches and shopping malls

Where he spoke it would raise the roof

Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth



(Chorus)



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 all right"



(Chorus)



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

(Hooray!)

Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin

Hooray for Pe-ter Pump-kin-head

Oh my, oh my, don't it make you want to cry, oh
