Making a Purple Stew

REFRAIN: Making a purple stew wop wop a do wop wop,
Making a purple stew a scooby dooby a do wop wop.
Purple potatoes, and Purple tomatoes, and
You ah ah are purple too.

STORY: One day, I was walking through the woods by my camp enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. When all of the sudden, a group of savages grabbed me and tied me up. They took me to their camp hidden in the forest, and threw me in a great big pot. Then, you know what? They started dancing, and jiving, and singing this C*R*A*Z*Y song.



REFRAIN

Well, I started to get a little concerned you know as the pot got hotter and hotter, so I started looking around. Just then I saw some little brown monkeys a looking at us from behind the trees. Well the savages saw them too. So I yelled Run Away Little Monkeys, Run Away! But the monkeys didn't run. And, Do you know why? Cause Monkeys Are Stupid. So those dancing, jiving savages ran out and caught those monkeys, and threw them in the stew. Now, it sure is funky to see a purple monkey, singing that crazy song.

REFRAIN

So, those monkeys and I started getting a bit hot, and we looked around for a way to get out, when all of the sudden I saw some bunnies. So I yelled Run Away Little Bunnies, Run Away! But the bunnies didn't run away either. And, Do you know why? Because, Bunnies Are Stupid! So the savages ran out after the bunnies, they caught them, and they threw the bunnies in the pot. And you know, It sure is funny to see a purple bunny, singing a crazy song.

REFRAIN

Well, it was starting to look really bad for me and the little animals. So I started to look low, and I started to look high, and what did I see? Some birds in a tree and I yelled Fly Away Little Birds, Fly Away! But, did the birds fly away? Noooo, Cause Birds Are Stupid! So the savages climbed the trees real fast and caught those birds and they threw them in the pot. Now, do you know what? It sure was absurd to see a purple bird, singing that crazy song.

REFRAIN (can include episode-sure is sad to see a purple dad . . .)

By this time, It was getting mighty hot! Whew. And I knew something had to be done. So I started looking around, when all of the sudden, but what did I see, some mommies looking at me, and I yelled Run Away Mommies, Run Away! But did the mommies run away? Nooo, and do you know why Because, Mommies are Special. But the savages ran fast and caught the mommies and threw them in that pot of purple stew. We were getting too hot, so me and the monkeys, and bunnies, and birdies, and mommies put our heads together and made a plan. We started rocking that pot. To the left but the savages stopped us. Then to the right, but they stopped us again. So one more time with all our might to the left, and We all ran free! . . . Now this is my story of the purple stew. But you know late at night on campouts just like this, if you listen real carefully off in the distance you can hear that crazy song. in whisper sing refrain
