“The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
\nSpreadsheet wisdom watched the cash rain down
\nForgot we fed the starving and we housed the poor
\nCould show the Vatican, quite a gold horde<\/p>\n

Now he’s made too many enemies
\nOf the people who would rise up from our knees
\nGoodbye to Peter Pumpkin
\nWho’ll pray for Peter Pumpkinhead?
\nOh my!<\/p>\n

Peter Pumpkinhead fooled us all
\nEmptied top tiers, fans in shopping malls
\nWhere he spoke, well it once raised the roof
\nPeter Pumpkinhead here comes the exit truth<\/p>\n

Now hes made too many enemies…<\/p>\n

Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
\nCeltic legends who would sigh at fiscal claims
\nDefeat and bonus scandals failed\u00a0to smite
\nPeter merely said
\nDermot Desmond calls me Mr Right<\/em><\/p>\n

Now hes made too many enemies…<\/p>\n

Peter Pumpkinhead felt he was so damn\u00a0good
\nYet fans would nail him to a chunk of wood
\nPictured grinning on live TV
\nTaking money, a lot from you and you
\nAnd an awful lot from me!<\/p>\n

Now hes made too many enemies…<\/p>\n

Goodbye to Peter Pumpkin
\nWho’ll pray for Peter Pumpkin
\nHooray for Peter Pumpkinhead
\nOh my oh my oh!<\/p>\n

Doesn’t it make you want to cry oh?
\nDoesn’t it make you want to cry No!
\nDoesn’t it make you want to cry GO!
\nGoodbye to Peter Pumpkinhead<\/p>\n
