They Might Be Giants - Purple Toupee Lyrics
I remember the year I went to campI heard about some lady named selma and some blacksSomebody put their fingers in the presidents earsIt wasnt too much later they came out with johnsons waxI remember the book depository where they crowned the king of cubaNow thats all I can think of, but Im sure theres something elseWay down inside me I can feel it coming backPurple toupee will show the way when summer brings you down(purple toupee when summer brings you down)Purple toupee and gold lame will turn your brain around(purple toupee and gold lame)Chinese people were fighting in the parkWe tried to help them fight, no one appreciated thatMartin x was mad when they outlawed bell bottomsTen years later they were sharing the same cellI shouted out, free the expo 67Till they stepped on my hair, and they told me I was fatNow Im very big, Im a big important manAnd the only thing thats different is underneath my hatPurple toupee will show the way when summer brings you down(purple toupee when summer brings you down)Purple toupee and gold lame will turn your brain around(purple toupee and gold lame)Purple toupee is here to stay after the hair has gone awayThe purple brigade is marching from the graveWere on some kind of missionWe have an obligationWe have to wear toupees
