lyrics

PURPLE BURT
(à la Syd Barrett)

Purple Burt eats green beans
orange porridge and red bread
Purple Burt drinks blue juice
wears pink mink and black slacks

Purple Burt smokes hope dope
His brain is a kaleidoscope

Purple Burt is color blind, Purple Burt's invisible
I'm Purple Burt, you're Purple Burt
I'm . . .

Purple Burt rides the side of a rainbow
He's got one-zillion color TVs
Purple Burt dreams of skiing Pluto
as he naps in a prism tree

Purple Burt stays alert
by eating lots of purple dirt

Purple Burt is color blind, Purple Burt's invisible
I'm Purple Burt, you're Purple Burt

Purple Burt has a brother, Purple Herbert
Herbert lives in a tin of herbal sherbet
He spends his days slurping and burping

Purple Burt drives to work
on his snapping turtle named Kurt
He keeps gasses sealed in glasses
All of these are inert

Purple Burt can't exert
His little purple heart is hurt

Purple Burt is color blind, Purple Burt's invisible
I'm Purple Burt, you're Purple Burt
I'm Purple Burt
