| 作词 : 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 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 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 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 | |
| We're on some kind of mission | |
| We have an obligation | |
| We have to wear toupees |
