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

Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead

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