1
SOL - DO SOL
I remember the year I went to camp
DO SOL LA RE
heard about some lady named Selma and some blacks
SOL - DO SOL
somebody put their fingers in the president's ears
DO SOL RE SOL
and it wasn't too much later they came out with Johnson's Wax
RE - SOL -
I remember the book repository
RE - SOL -
where they crowned the king of Cuba
SOL - DO SOL
That's all I can think of but I'm sure there's something else
DO SOL RE MI
way down inside me I can feel it coming back
Chorus
LA RE MI DO# FA#m SI
Purple toupee will show the way when summer brings you down
MI LA SI MI
(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 "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)
FA#m SI MI DO#
Purple toupee is here to stay
FA#m SI MI RE
after the hair has gone away
LA - SI - MI
the purple brigade is marching from the grave
SIb
We're on some kind of mission
FA
we have an obligation
MIb
we have to wear toupees
SOL
[Here's some alternate chords that may be a bit easier... or perhaps not. :)
In any case, capo up 2]
