The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead

He died grinning on live TV 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 Who'll pray for Peter Pumpkin (Hooray!) Oh my, oh my, don't it make you want to cry, ohHooray for Pe |
