HURTFUL PURPLE
(Mark Chadbourne)

Hurtful purple
Blacks and blues don't suit you
Guess your purpleness will do

Purple hurtful
For as long as I have known you
it's always raining down on you

I know you're shy
But you're real good lookin', too
If you left it up to Fate's device
would your luck just see you through?
Now I leave it up to you

Hurtful purple
Boys in white are aching
just to get a piece of you

I know you're shy
But you're real good lookin', too
If you left it up to Fate's device
Would your luck just see you through?
Now I leave it up to you

Let's live like a gun
Blow off our brains and have us some fun
Sing "Hey, La Dee Doo Down Down"
Life's a dance and song for some
But not if you leave your song go unsung

Hey!
Hear my voice
Hear my voice
Heed my voice and rejoice
Girls and boys, hear my voice
It's your choice, heed my voice
Whether to be mirthful or hurtful purple

I know you're tired
And I'm kind of worn out, too
So I'm going to say good-night
And I'll be seeing you
Now let's see what you will do
Hurtful purple

Live like a gun
Let's live like a gun
Oh, yeh
Oh ho yeh!...

Hey! La!
Oh yeh, oh ho yeh!
Dee! Doo!
Down, down!

Purple hurtful
Live like a gun
Oh yeh
Oh ho yeh
