Purple Toupee — текст песни (they might be giants)

I remember the year I went to camp

I heard about some lady named selma and some blacks

Somebody put their fingers in the presidents ears

It wasnt too much later they came out with johnsons wax

I remember the book depository where they crowned the king of cuba

Now thats all I can think of, but Im sure theres something else

Way down inside me I can feel it coming back



Purple 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 park

We tried to help them fight, no one appreciated that

Martin x was mad when they outlawed bell bottoms

Ten years later they were sharing the same cell

I shouted out, "free the expo 67"

Till they stepped on my hair, and they told me I was fat

Now Im very big, Im a big important man

And the only thing thats different is underneath my hat



Purple 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 away

The purple brigade is marching from the grave



Were on some kind of mission

We have an obligation

We have to wear toupees
