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?
Oh my!

Peter Pumpkinhead pulled them all
Emptied churches and shopping malls
Where he spoke, it would raise the roof

Peter Pumpkinhead told the truth
But he made too many enemies...
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...
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...
Hooray for Peter Pumpkin

Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin
Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
Oh my oh my oh!

Doesn't it make you want to cry oh?
