D5                 G5
 Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
D5                    G5
 Spreading wisdom and cash around
D5                    G5
 Fed the starving and housed the poor
D5                  G5
 Showed the vatican what gold's for


G5       A5             B5
 But he made too many enemies
G5       A5                B5
 Of the people who would keep us on our knees
G5           A5
 Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G5                G5 A5   D5   D5  D5  D5  G5  G5  E5  A5
 Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?

Peter Pumpkinhead brought 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

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
G5                G5 A5   D5    D5    D5
 Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
G5           A5
 Hooray for Peter Pumpkin
G5                A5    
 Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin?

 Hooray for Pe   -ter Pumpkin -head

Alright, alright - I make you want to cry out (?)
