The Purple People Eater Meets the Witch Doctor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While strollin' through the woods not so far from town
I got real shook, I heard the strangest sound
I saw the Purple People Eater, and to my surprise
I saw the Witch Doctor sittin' by his side

[Verse 2]
Woah! The Witch Doctor had a guitar in his hand
They were boppin' and a-rockin' with a two-piece band
Well, Purple was a blowin' like a People Eater should
The Witch Doctor picked like a Johnny B. Goode

[Chorus]
They went-a
(Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-bing-bang)

[Verse 3]
Yeah, the Doctor got trouble when the People Eater said
"The girls keep a-laughin' at the horn in my head"
Then the Witch Doctor smiled, and I heard him say
(Yeah man, you're ugly but you sure can play)

[Verse 4]
Well, there in the moonlight it seemed so strange
While he played a little chorus of-a Home on the Range
They were comin' in strong like a rock n' roll star
With the craziest beat this side of Mars

[Chorus]
They went-a
(Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-bing-bang)

[Verse 5]
Yeah, these cats from outer space they were givin' it all
I could tell the way they jumped it they were havin' a ball
They had me pattin' my feet and just a-clappin' my hands
They stopped just long enough to say (Crazy man)

[Verse 6]
Yeah, twilight time when the sun goes down
Way back up in the woods along the edge of town
Yeah, the people all gather from a-miles around
To hear Doc and Ol' Purple with that crazy sound

[Chorus]
They went-a
(Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-bing-bang)
One more time (Okay)
(Ooh-ee
Ooh-ah-ah
Ting-tang
Walla-walla-bing-bang)

[Outro]
(Wait 'til they see us on the Bandstand
Crazy man, crazy
Walla-walla-bing-bang
Ha-ha-ha-ha)
