Transcript

While stirling through the woods not so far from town I got real shook, I heard the strangest sound I saw the purple people eat her at the master's pride I saw the witch doctor sitting by his side Whoa, the witch doctor had a guitar in his hand They were bopping and a rocking with a two-pitched band

Well, the purple was a blowing like a people eater should The witch doctor picked like a Johnny V. Good, they went up I got trouble when the people either said The girls keep laughing at the horn in my head Then the wish doctors smiled and I heard him say Yeah, man, you're ugly but you sure can't play

Well, day in the moonlight it seems so strange While he played a little chorus of a home on the range They were coming in strong like a rock and roll star With a craziest beat, this side of Mars they went up They were giving it all.

I could tell the way they jumped it they were having a ball. They had me patting my feet and just a clap in my hand. They stopped just long enough to say. Hey, baby. Yeah, it's a twilight time, but when the sun goes down, we're back up in the woods along the edge of town.
