The Purple People Eater Meets The Witch Doctor
While strollin' 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 two-piece band
Well-a Purple was a blowin' like a People Eater should
The Witch Doctor picked like-a Johnny B. Good
There went-a
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-ding-dang
Yeah, the Doctor got 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 seemed so 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
They went-a
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-ding-dang
Yeah, these cats from outer space, they were givin' it all
I could tell the way they jumped that they were havin' a ball
They had me pattin' my feet and just a-clappin' my hand
They stopped just long enough to say "Crazy, man!"
Yeah!
Twilight time a-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 ol' Purple with that crazy sound
They went-a
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-ding-dang
One more time
Okay
Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-ding-dang
Wait 'til they see us on the Bandstand!
Crazy, man
Crazy
Walla-walla-ding-dang
Ha-ha-ha-ha
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!
