Start Jamming...
Well, this next song is a song that I recorded with much trepidation at first, at least.
It was odd.
A film company came to see one of our shows and they were making a movie
and they asked us if we'd record a [Fm] particular song for the movie.
It was a cover song that
we were doing at the [F] time.
It wasn't even [D] one of my own compositions.
[G] In any case, [C] they
wanted it for their movie.
So I thought, well, I better take a look at the script, see what
I'm getting myself into.
Now, bear in mind, the movie has not been made yet, so you're
looking at a script.
The script is for the movie.
[G] Pretty [F] funny movie, actually.
[B] [G] However,
when you're reading the [D] script, the treatment, if you like.
[Eb] Say, for example, the most hilarious
scene of all, where Jeff Daniels can't stop crapping his pants over an organ.
[Ab] [A]
[G] Anyway,
it goes on like that.
He craps his pants like ten times.
And, you [Ab] know, when you're
reading along, it's like, Jeff Daniels craps his [Eb] pants.
Jeff Daniels tries to put his pants
back on and leave the bathroom.
[C] Jeff Daniels has to go and crap his pants [Cm] again.
And [Bb] [C] for
two pages of this shit, and I'm like, do I really want to be in this fucking movie?
[Bb] [Eb] So I called my manager and I was like, you know, I don't know if we want to really [D] necessarily
do this.
And he said, well, you know, they just [Eb] offered you $150,000 to do that.
And
I said, well, that's just great.
So that was Deanna.
[N] How do I go?
In any case, that [Fm] song
happened to be a little [Abm] number sung by Ellen Reed called [A] Peter Pumpkinhead.
[Eb] And she will
join you for [D] that now.
Peter Pumpkinhead came to town
[D] Spreading wisdom and passion around
Fed the starving and housed the poor
Soak the blood again on a white gold [G] sword
But he [E] made to wear the [Bm] anthem
[E]
[G] Of the people who [Bm] were demons on our [E] feet
[G] Hooray [A] for Peter [D]
Pumpkin!
Hooray for Peter [A] Pumpkin!
[D]
[G]
[D] Peter Pumpkinhead put to shame
[G]
[D] The bottom half to a slur he [G] made
[D]
Lost in sex scandal, failed outright
Peter Pumpkinhead,
[G]
he [A] made to [Bm] wear the anthem
Of the [G]
[E] people who [B] were demons [Bm] on our feet
[G]
Hooray [A] for Peter Pumpkin!
[G]
Hooray for Peter [A] [D] Pumpkin!
[G]
Peter Pumpkinhead was too good
Had him nailed to a chunk of [G] wood
[D]
He died getting [D] on an ITV
He gave the very thought [G]
to worry
But [A] he made to [Bm] wear the anthem
[A] [G] Of [A] the people who [Bm] were demons [G]
on our feet
Hooray [A] for Peter [G] Pumpkin!
[Db] [D]
[G] Peter Pumpkinhead
[A]
Hooray [A] for Peter [G] Pumpkin!
Hooray for [A] Peter [Bm] Pumpkin!
