was a very picky eater
He didn't like mushrooms, or pickles,
or carrots, or rice
Peter was a very picky eater
He didn't like salmon or bread
that you had to slice
His mom and dad were
worried about him
They wondered how
Peter would ever survive
Now
Peter was a very picky eater
He didn't like cereal or meatloaf
or curried goat
Now
Peter was a very picky eater
He wouldn't touch turnips, or bagels,
or boiled oats
After a while, he got so thin
All the kids started callin' him
Peter the
Pin
Peter the
Pinhead
Peter was a very picky eater
He sure didn't like the kids
calling him that name
Peter was a very picky eater
So he said to himself
Something has got to change
He started eating a bowl of
chicken noodle
After that he had some apple stew,
it was good
Now
Peter was a very picky eater
He started eatin' all kinds
of things that day
Celery and almonds and turkey
In fact, little
Peter ate everything that came his way
As
Peter was eatin' a plate of sour bacon
All the kids said we were mistaken
To call, to call him
Pinhead
We used to call him
Pinhead
Peter the
Pinhead
Peter the
Pinhead
Peter was a very picky eater
You see, didn't say is, I said
Peter was.
Now I know I shouldn't be talking to you because
I'm supposed to be singing and if you talk
in the middle of a record it's unprofessional,
but notice how the song says, I said
Peter
was.
That's because I used to be a pinhead, oops,
I didn't want anyone to know that that song
was about me.
