Well, this next song is a song that I recorded with much trepidation at first, at least.

Now, bear in mind, the movie has not been made yet, so you're

_ _ _ _ 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! _
