Intro

 ( W/ Talk Box)

Verse 1

I remember the year I went to camp

 heard about some lady named Selma and some blacks

 somebody put their fingers in the president's ears

 and it wasn't too much later they came out with Johnson's Wax

Pre Chorus 1:

I remember the book repository

 where they crowned the king of Cuba

 That's all I can think of but I'm sure there's something else

 way down inside me I can feel it coming back

Chorus

 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)

Verse 2

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

Pre Chorus 2:

I shouted out "Free the Expo '67"

till they stepped on my hair and they told me I was fat

Now I'm very big I'm a big important man

and the only thing that's different is underneath my hat

Chorus

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)

Bridge outro

 Purple toupee is here to stay

 after the hair has gone away

 the purple brigade is marching from the grave

(Same Chords for the La La Part)

We're on some kind of mission

we have an obligation

we have to wear toupees
