Purple Toupee

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 It wasn't too much later they came out with Johnson's wax I remember the book depository, where they crowned the King of Cuba Now that's all I can think of but I'm sure there's somethin' else Way down inside me I can feel it comin' 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 fightin' 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 sharin' the same cell I shouted out free the expo sixty seven 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 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 La la, la la, la la La la, la la, la la La la, la la, la la La la, la la, la la La la la la la la la la (La la, la la, la la, la la) La la la la la la la la (La la, la la, la la, la la) La la la (La la, la la, la la, la la) We're on some kind of mission (La la, la la, la la, la la) We have an obligation (La la, la la, la la, la la) We have to wear toupees (La la, la la, la la, la la)
