Capo: 1
[Intro]
| D | A |
[Verse 1]
D A
While walkin' through the woods not far from town,
A D
I got real shook, I heard the strangest sound.
D A
I saw the Purple People Eater and to my surprise
A D
the Witch Doctor sittin' by his side.
[Verse 2]
D A
The Witch Doctor had a little guitar in his hand
A D
and they were boppin' and a-rockin' with a two-piece band.
D A
Purple was a-blowin' like a People Eater should,
A D
Witch Doctor picked like Johnny B. Good.
[Chorus]
G D G D
There went-a ooh-ee,
G D E A
ooh-ah-ah Ting-tang Walla-walla-ding-dang
[Verse 3]
D A
"Oh, Doc I got troubles" that's a-what he said,
A D
"Girls keep a-laughin' 'bout the horn in my head".
D A
The Witch Doctor smiled and I heard him say
A D
"Yeah, man, ya ugly but you sure can play".
[Verse 4]
D A
There in the moonlight it seemed so strange
A D
as they blowed a chorus of "Home On The Range".
D A
They were comin' in strong like a rock 'n' roll stars,
A D
made the sweetest music a-this side of Mars.
[Chorus]
G D G D
They went-a Ooh-ee
G D E A
Ting-tang Ooh-ah-ah Walla-walla-ding-dang.
[Verse 5]
D A
These cats from outer space were givin' their all
A
and I could tell the way
D
they rocked that they were havin' a ball.
D A
They were comin' on strong, I was clappin' my hands,
A D*
stopped long enough to say "Crazy, man!"
[Verse 6]
D A
So, at twilight time when the sun go down,
A D
back in the woods on the edge of town
D A
people all a-gather from a-miles around
A D
to hear Doc and ol' Purple play the crazy sounds.
[End-Chorus]
G D G D
They go ooh-ee (Oh yeah)
G D E A
Ooh-ah-ah Ting-tang Walla-walla-ding-dang
G D G D
One more time
G D E A D D D
.
And your sick, sick, sick set Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Woo hoo hoo hoo Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
