[chorus]
Here we are, dudes havin’ fun
Try to make you dance, before we’re done
And if you don’t, you must be bored
So we hit ya with another chord
[instrumental pre-chorus]
Can we jiggle, can we tap our feet?
Josh is kickin’ it with a funky beat
Mark’s on bass, droppin’ low
My name’s Matthew, and here we go
[Pre-chorus]
Bring it on down
Climb it back high
Listen to the sound
Of three purple guys
[chorus]
E B
You’re invited
A B
Won’t you come along
E B
Don’t try to fight it
A B
Our Purple Song
C#m B
Come away
A B
Come fly with us
C#m E A B [to verse]
Get on board, the purple bus, it’s the purple party
It’s the purple party
B A G#m ——>
It gets lilac, this time of night
Let these mulberry sounds just soothe you right
Indigo and and orchid puff
Nice to meet you, we’re purple stuff
[pre-chorus]
Here we are again
At the turnaround
We are not in control
Of our violet sound
[chorus to end]

Em A | B7
I gave it a go like the nice guy I am
You weren’t kind, you didn’t give a damn
You’re the kinda guy who says he’s the star
That attitude isn’t gonna get you very far
So listen up pops, because I think you should know
You got a lot of holes going on in your show
Playing in time really helps with the flow
Well, old bag, you’re gonna reap what you sow
Em7 A
You’re an old dog, you can’t learn ( x 3 )
B7
You started a fire, now you’re gonna watch it burn
You’re an old dog, you can’t learn ( x 3 )
G#7 C#7
You started a fire, you just can’t fix
F#7 B7 Em7
Everybody know you can’t teach an old dog new tricks
You think you got it all figured out
Never want to hear what I’m talking about
Never considered that what I may know
Might just lie beyond your scope
Nah, you got it plain to see
Neil himself could learn a few things
Burning bridges everywhere you go
Well, its nigh time you reap what ya sow
[Bridge]
A D7 Em
Yours is a call, I ain’t gonna return
A D7 B7
This is one bridge you should not have burned

Cm / F Eb
Where we at? I ask again again because I don’t know
Where were at, let me know should I stay or should i go
C G
I ask again, for the third time
F G
You make me wait, it’s such a crime
C F Eb
So tell me where were at, its time you let me know
Whats going on, i cannot tell and you lie
What’s going on, its might be time to say goodbye
Maybe you think, I’m worth a little less’
This bird is looking for a new nest
So maybe it’s time to fly, fly one away
C Bb F C (1x)
C / | F /
Where we at, still i ask but i don’t know
Where were at, i get the sense you will not show
The paycheck I’m looking for’
I’m gonna need a little bit more
So tell me where were at, or its time for me to go

A D Dsus4 D A
Ain’t gonna sing about feelin’ myself
F#m D A
Gonna take the madness and put it on the shelf
And when it think I wanna sing about the rain
Take that the feeling, pour it in the refrain
Bm D A (x2)
The songs I sing, come right from the heart
Some gloomy days are dark right from the start
I know I get so unglued
Take a puff to help me power through
[Verse]
Bm D A
We all got to sing sometimes
Sometimes it takes some sillly rhymes
Let’s get on with the day
Bm D E7
Plug in, and start to play
[chorus]
Sometimes you don’t have to sing about the bad
Things that horrify you or just make you mad
Words can drip, drip right from your mouth
Even if the universe is going south
Bm D A (x2)
If the tone hits you in the spot
Music can turn the sadness into not
Soulful grooves soil of the world
Spin around up down the tilt a whirl
[jam]
A E C#m DE
[verse]
The world is so askew
It’s limited what we can do
So when the planet starts to tilt
Remember not the guilt we built

Hope inside this purple car

Funk on it on back to where we are
Once again the funk clock ticks
Man that floor Tom kicks
Stink with us, kids, you’ll see
Purple stuff gonna make it funky
Gonna funk it up from here on out
That what this band’s all about
[Chorus]
(B) Am F C
Put some shtank on it, tonight
We sure got the recipe to do it right
Am G F G
Our goal is to make you groove along, come and dance to our funky purple song
C
With shtank on it
Dance tonight, come and tap your feet
DJ Mercy is kicking out that sexy reggae beat
The man on bass, he knows just where’s it at
Nice to meet you, my name is Matt
Another purple tune, echoes in your ear
The shtanky funk is coming crystal clear
[Chorus]
Put some shtank on it today
When you want to dance, there is really is no Better way
Smell that smell, let it funkify your face
The beat compels a groovy sort of space …. with shtank on it
