• The Ballad of Principle Pete

He was born one Monday morning
And he was their only son
And they said: His name shall be Peter
Like the rock faith was founded upon
They took him to church every Sunday
And they picked him up right after school
When the kids asked him out to come playin’
He had something important to do
He would never be late for a lesson
Kept his clothes always tidy and neat
Not a chance that he took, Peter played by the book
So the kids called him Principle Pete

He grew up and became pretty handsome
Finished school and his future was clear
Don’t waste time with a life full of pleasure
Settle down, have a wife and career
Now some people called him the robot
A cold-hearted, callous machine
But all those attacks could not hold him back
He was proud to be Principle Pete

Every day on his way to the office
He saw a girl singing songs in the street
She was tired of life as a vagabond’s wife
And she dreamed of a man such as he
When she sang, she would leer at poor Peter
When she winked, he looked down at his feet
When she gave him the eye, he just waved her goodbye
And went on being Principle Pete

Now we all have our secret desires
Even Pete was a man deep inside
First she blew him a kiss then he couldn’t resist
As she crawled into him in the night
When he opened his eyes in the morning
He could still feel her breath in his ear
Creeping under his skin, but like hell he’d give in
To a feeling so wondrous and weird

Peter shunned our girl ever after
So that she wouldn’t lead him astray
He would save all his love for the lord up above
And the one that would once bear his name
Now if there is a moral to this story
It’s that stories don’t always end sweet
You may think this is wrong, but such is the song
The Ballad of Principle Pete
The Ballad of Principle Pete
The Ballad of Principle Pete
