PURPLE BURT

PURPLE BURT eats green beans, orange porridge and red bread
PURPLE BURT drinks blue juice, wears pink mink and black slacks
PURPLE BURT jumps Hope Rope, his brain is a kaleidoscope
PURPLE BURT is colorblind, 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 tv's
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 colorblind, PURPLE BURT'S invisible
I'm PURPLE BURT, you're PURPLE BURT
I'm PURPLE BURT, you're PURPLE BURT

PURPLE BURT has a brother Purple Herbert
Herbert lives in a tin of herbal sherburt
He spends his days slurping and burping

PURPLE BURT drives to work on his snapping turtle named Kurt
They keep gasses sealed in glasses; all of these are inert
PURPLE BURT can't exert; his little purple heart is hurt
PURPLE BURT is colorblind, PURPLE BURT'S invisible
I'm PURPLE BURT, you're PURPLE BURT
I'm PURPLE BURT, you're PURPLE BURT
I'm PURPLE BURT


INVISIBILITY

Close your eyes and look at me
That's invisibility
Open them and look around
I am nowhere to be found

So you wanna shake my hand?
First you must know where I am
Step right up, turn on the light
I'm completely out of sight

Where did he go
Where did he go
Where did he go
Where'd he go?

I may be big, I may be small
I may not be here at all
I sneak in to things for free
Thank invisibility

Peek a boo, I see you
Too bad you can't see me too
Play hide and seek? You wouldn't dare
I'm not here, there, anywhere

Where did he go
Where did he go
Where did he go
Where'd he go?

Life is often fantastic
when you are a magic trick
Mirror, mirror on the wall
who's the clearest of them all?

Invisibil . . . ity!
Invisibil . . . ity!
Invisibil . . . ity!
Invisible . . . that's me!


WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT?

All the day we lay around in bed
Just a bunch of full time sleepyheads
As hard as we try
to open up our eyes
It's so much easier to yawn
and take a nap instead

If only there was something we could use
to help us undo our daily snooze
There's a kid we know
who's always on the go
He's eatin' soil
Maybe that boy'll
share, let's ask him - Yo

Where'd ya get that dirt? (Hey Purple Burt)
Where'd ya get that dirt? (What dirt? That dirt)
Where'd ya get that dirt?
Where'd ya get that dirt?

Burt . . .
You stay alert by eating dirt
It's on your shirt
We see it

So be a bud, show us the mud
Can't you afford
a wee bit?

One day one of us will stay awake
to track down the sound that shovel makes
'Cause while we're asleep
someone's digging deep
If there's enough
of that special stuff
please help out your peeps

Where'd ya get that dirt? (Hey Purple Burt)
Where'd ya get that dirt? (What dirt? That dirt)
Where'd ya get that dirt?
Where'd ya get that dirt?


MAKE IT SNAPPY

Can a turtle jump a hurdle?
PURPLE BURT'LL answer that:
"Kurt can't jump one
but he'll bump one
out the way in minutes flat."

As you know I cannot go
much faster than a snail in snow
My legs are short and I support a big shell
Guess what? I'm slow!

Make it snappy
Make it snappy
I can hear you
It don't matter
Make it snappy
Make it snappy
I'm a turtle and that's that!

Snapping turtles are historic
Dinosauric, truth be told
So don't rush me, push or mush me
Have some respect for the old

You want speedy?
Listen sweetie,
I would move it if I could
If what you pay for's to be safer
I am your guy
Understood?

I am sturdy, strong and trusty
You will get where you are headed
Don't expect to get there fast
'Cause If you do you just don't get it

Make it snappy
Make it snappy
I can hear you
It don't matter
Make it snappy
Make it snappy
I'm a turtle and that's that!


WONDER WHERE

I wonder where my underwear is,
wonder where?
I wonder where my underwear is,
wonder where?
I wonder where my underwear is?
Wonder where what's under there is?
I wonder where my underwear is,
wonder where?

I wonder how my bouncing cow is,
wonder how?
I wonder how my bouncing cow is,
wonder how?
When I ask him if his feet ache
all that comes out is a milkshake
I wonder how my bouncing cow is,
wonder how?

I wonder who invented blue,
I wonder who?
I wonder who invented blue,
I wonder who?
Did he spill red on the blue
and then invent some purple too?
I wonder who invented blue,
I wonder who?

It's great to ask questions about everything,
but it's even more fun to do it while you're singing

I wonder why I cannot fly,
I wonder why?
I wonder why I cannot fly,
I wonder why?
Feather me and give a small push
You will hear "flap flap flap" then "SMUSH!"
I wonder why I cannot fly,
I wonder why?

I wonder if a fish can sniff,
I wonder if?
I wonder if a fish can sniff,
I wonder if?
'Cause if a fish can sniff through water
could it smell the guy that caught her?
I wonder if a fish can sniff,
I wonder if?

I wonder when this song will end,
I wonder when?


I MISS MY DADDY

I miss my daddy so very badly
Now that he's gone away
he'll always stay in my memory
We had such fun once
Father and son months
when we would throw a ball
or crawl across the beach on our knees

He could be funny, smart or mean
He could wear fancy suits or jeans
He could cook eggs or eat sardines
Like you or me he was just a human being

So tell your daddy you love him and see
how much he loves you back
You'll never lack the thing you need most
You should be glad he is your own daddy
'cause if he leaves like mine
you'll find how much it meant to be close

I miss him


SLURPING & BURPING

Slurp slurp slurp
Burp burp BURP!


COLOR FEEL

Green gets me green with envy
Blue makes me blue
Red and I'm more than ready
to be like you
Yellow and all my fellow senses warm up
Aquamarine is sunscreen to make them stop

See the best I get is a color feel
and colors feel alright
Yeah the best I get is a color feel
and colors feel out of sight!

Now I know that the world is not so
black and white for real
'Cause the colors
Oh the colors
Yeah the colors,
How good they feel, oh . . .

Pink if a tulip and a tool looked the same?
Orange you glad an orange looks like its name?
Brown and I'm bround to groan and feel like dirt
Purple's purplexing and makes me want to blurt

If the best you get is a color feel
well colors feel alright
Yeah the best I get is a color feel
and colors feel out of sight!


WHAT A GAS!

Hello there Burt, hello there Kurt
Won't you please tuck in your shirts?
As you can see, there are many things
that can spill or simply spurt

Allow me please to introduce
my humble self to both of youse
My name is Doctor Fritz von Nozzle
The gas I make I store in bozzles

I understand you that you have come
to fill your jars with perhaps some
of my new mixtures and concoctions?
To transfer them we will need suction

A spritz of this, a squirt of those
a swizzle stick goes to and frose
Then over heat, I bring my beaker
Tiptoe up and take a peeker

What a gas I have in here!
What a gas! Yes it is clear
What a gas, I so love mixing!
What's the gas I have been fixing?

I've made some Hydrogen and Lowdrogen
some Speedium and Slowdrogen
Loop-d'Loopogen and Poop-poop-d'Doopogen
Some Sillium, some Serious
Boron and Curious
Half an itty bitty liter of some PeterPumpkinEther
Propane and Amateuric
mixed with Trick Neon from Zurich
Funny thing, it makes me laugh
I've used all my Laughing Gas!

So step right up and pop your stoppers
I'll fill your jars to the toppers!

What a gas you'll have with these!
What, a gas? No they won't freeze
What a gas, enjoy my gasses!
Now can you help me find my glasses?


DO-RE-MIMI

There you are, you look so pretty
Here I am, oh why can't we be
side by side with every new day?
When you're near the world is okay

I'll be yours until the end of
time because we are so in love
Though the news is sad you're bringing
Nothing will keep me from singing

Do-Re-Mimi
I love you
sing so sweetly
and have a beauty few
have ever seen even in dreams
Do-Re-Mimi

They say that out of sight
is out of mind
Call me crazy but
the more I think of you I'm fine

(PURPLE BURT I love you)

Far away but right here with me
In my brain your face I can see
Even now as time is ticking
you're the girl that I am picking

Do-Re-Mimi
I love you
and me we
are one made up of two-
gether, forever
Do-Re-Mimi

Do-Re-Mimi
Fe-li-city


TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE

How about a hat made of calico cat?
So soft and furry,
It's alive don't worry
Here's a sweater knit from Swiss chocolate
It's too warm for summer
and melting's a bummer

You think these clothes are weird,
but there is no need to be scared
You gotta trust me when I say . . .

Try this on for size
Won't believe your eyes
Fits you like a glove
We are talking love it!

Take a look at that shoe of blue kangaroo
Hopping through the air
beats shopping for footwear
Snap on one of these cucumberbunds
Green looks incredible
plus this tux is edible

You think I flipped my lid
but I've got news for you kid
For sure, odd is in today

Try this on for size
Won't believe your eyes
Fits you like a glove
We are talking love it!

Clothes make the man,
especially when the dude is see-through
So why not look grand
'cause you never know who'll you'll bump into?


PLUTO

All aboard, all aboard for Pluto
Got my skis and my deep-freeze suit-o
We will fly as fast as light
Got to get there by tonight
See us soar as we head for Pluto

Gonna land, gonna land on Pluto
On the sand, use a parachute-o
Snowy peaks fill the horizon
and they sure look appetizin'
Flew so far, here we are on Pluto

Push off, slide down
speed up, glide 'round
aloft, back flip
hit soft, then slip
become snowball
Best day of all!

This is Plutopia!
This is Plutopia!!
This is Plutopia!!!
My secret ski-slopia!!!!

If I lived, if I lived on Pluto
I'd sell hot cocoa and make lots of loot-o
Then I'd build a jet pack playground
Kids would fill it with their "Yay!" sounds
What a tiime, glad that I'm on Pluto

Was it fun, was it fun on Pluto?
Never have I had such a hoot-o
Can a dream come true? Well can it?
Look no further than this planet
Got to be, got to ski on Pluto


I HOPE

Rope goes round and round
it hits the ground and makes a clicking sound
as feet go up and down
and down and up and down and up and down

I hope I see my Do-Re-Mimi soon again
so she can sing me a pretty tune again
I hope my daddy will come back to me again
so we can throw a ball and crawl near sea again

I hope . . .

Jumping rope is not just excellent exercise
If you hope, great things may appear before your eyes

I hope I become visible to everyone
and finally experience most every fun
I hope I'll see some colors one day very soon
so I can enjoy all that blooms in early June

I hope . . .


FLAVOR DAY

There's a day that's almost here
it's oh so near that I can taste it
Grab yourself some sweet and sour
in one hour celebrate it
No need to anticipate a reason to salivate
Oh so many treats a'plenty piled on your plate
Flavor Day, Flavor Day is here!

Flavor Day comes only once a year
Everyone stick out your tongue and cheer! (Yay!)

How about a mustard covered,
salty, spicy ice cream sundae?
It may taste ridiculous
but why not try on such a fun day?
Everything is yummy now
but your mouth's too full to "Wow!"
Swallow soon and make more room
for scrumptious fun chow
Flavor Day, Flavor Day is here!

Flavor day comes only once a year
Everyone stick out your tongue and cheer! (Yay!)


SMILE AWHILE

My brother burps,
I'm invisible and my girlfriend's away
My turtle's slow,
I'm still colorblind and I eat dirt all day
Even though I am sad, I know how to be glad
I take my frown and turn it around
with a brand new game that I play

Smile awhile, and laugh too
Smile awhile, you have to
think of something funny then
tell the funny thing to all your friends
They will pass the funny thing around
Soon the only thing you'll hear
is a happy sound
Smile awhile
It's an easy thing to do!

You can't be sad with a silly grin
and a gleam in your eyes
So jump around, be a clown
and you'll only see sunny skies
You will always have fun
with chuckling by the ton
As long as you remember to
keep your mind on the happiness prize

Smile awhile, and giggle
Smile awhile, be tickled
Smile awhile, and laugh too
Smile awhile, you have to
think of something funny then
tell the funny thing to all your friends
They will pass the funny thing around
Soon the only thing you'll hear
is a happy sound
Smile awhile
It's the only thing to do!
