Album: The NRC Years
While strolling through the woods,
Not so far from town,
I got real shook
I heard the strangest sound
I saw the Purple People Eater,
And to my surprise,
I saw the Witch Doctor sittin' by his side
Woah!
The Witch Doctor had a guitar in his hand
They were boppin' and a-rockin',
With a? band
Well the Purple was a blowin',
Like a People Eater should
The Witch Doctor picked,
Like a Johnny B Goode
[Chorus:]
There went a-
Eww eee,
Ewww huh ha
Ewww, huh
Walla walla ding dun
[End Chorus]
Yeah, the Doctor got in trouble,
When the People Eater said,
The girls keep a-laughin'
At the horn in my head
Then the Witch Doctor smiled,
And I heard him say,
Yeah man, you're ugly,
But you sure can play
Well there in the moonlight,
It sure seemed strange,
While he played a little chorus of,
Home On The Range
They were comin' in strong,
Like a rock n' roll star
With the craziest beat,
This side of Mars
[Repeat chorus]
Yeah, these cats from outer space,
They were givin' it all
I could tell the way they jumped it,
They were havin' a ball
They had me pattin' my feet,
And just a clappin' my hands
They stopped just long enough to say,
Crazy man!
Yeah!
Twilight time,
When the sun goes down,
Way back up in the woods,
Along the edge of town,
Yeah, the people all gather
From a-miles around,
To hear Doc and ole Purple with that crazy sound
[Repeat chorus]
One more time
Okay
[Repeat chorus]
Wait til they see us on American Bandstand!
Crazy man,
Crazy!
Ha ha ha ha
