Walla walla, bing bang

Care to Sing Along

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple people eater to me

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
Flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?)

And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head

Anyone who wants to sing along - the lyrics of most of the songs can be found: http://www.tropicalglen.com/lyrics.html

Songs can be found on: http://www.tropicalglen.com/index.html
Pick the year - they are random play within the year.

Oh my gosh, Eve! Is there a song you don't know!?! I nominate Eve as the official song master for all parties! (I was able to finally spit out the gag!! Thanks a lot Kathy!)

I think the party has come to an end, there are those who don't like it and I think the mood has been altered.
Rolanda, I apologise for any inconvenience we have caused you and I think we will all understand if you choose to delete the 'party' comments.
It was meant to be harmless but evidently, its not.

What Gail said, ditto

ROLANDA, hope you enjoyed your trip and get a kick out of the party we threw at your house. Clean up is in porgress, and everything back to normal, except for this record of our funning.

an' I tried my best to get the moose slobbers out of the pie safe. Sorry 'bout that...

You are more than welcome, Stella!

I agree with Gail's comments. Sorry Rolanda, if our party is a little overwhelming. Certainly no harm intended...
and I'm sweeping as fast as I can!!

Gail has said it well.
I have collected my lawn darts and have straightened up outside. Sorry if we caused you any grief.

Miz T has backed up the Juke Box and is taking it home. I put the remaining quarters in your sugar jar.

Hope that Jeb gets his Moose out of here soon.

A jug has been left in the refrigerator for you, to help you through the remainder of the cleanup.

Rolanda, sorry I contributed to the messy page.

Hi, Rolanda! Just finishing up with the clean-up. All that will be left when you get back are the many comments. We hope you aren't offended by those who came to party. There are some fresh cinnamon rolls in the tupperware in the refrigerator, and a fresh pot of coffee and hot water for tea ready for you to enjoy when you get home. I'll just leave a vase of flowers here on the table.

Welcome back Rolanda! Missed you!! Next time you go away, make sure you bring a laptop so you can join in on the fun! I'm glad I was able to take a few minutes out of my crazy schedule and join in. I really needed a laugh or two, or three or four!! Can't wait to hear all (well, maybe not all! ) about your vacation with hubby! I think the last time Jerry and I went away together, alone, was 20 years ago!! Have fun at your 100th party!

Welcome home, Rolanda! I hope you had a wonderful & relaxing time away! I think we got everything cleaned up (except for your Inbox). We missed you at SA. Enjoy the "100th" party today.

Welcome back cous, hope this finds you and your family well.

Cous, for the well wishes, it was good to not be in the fishbowl. Not so good to know I'm getting older, but then again I don't think I am ready for the alternative.

Hey Rolanda. Just stopping by with a non-see through shower curtain for you! Cheers young lady!

And a lovely surprise it was too! Most informative postcard I ever got. Thank you Rolanda, so glad that you and Peter had such a relaxing time.
(I'm jealous)

Hello Rolanda - some lovely photos you've got there of Busselton, time I paid it a visit and went and stayed with my SIL and her husband.
Dunsborough is very pretty but the beaches over there still haven't got the lovely soft, white sand that we have on the south coast. Just had to mention that!!!

Rolanda, thanks for the concern. My laptop got invaded and haven't had the time to restore it. I'll try and be around a little more. Catch you later.

Hi there Rolanda - thank you for your warm welcome. Warm greetings to you up in Perth!!!

Thank you darling, you truly are a sweet friend.

We had a lovely dinner out last night for Beth's 18th. No plans for today but she has already tried it on this morning for something later on but as we said to her, it is much too late notice. Ah the joys of becoming an adult!

Hey Rolanda :)

Thank you for the welcome. Glad to hear that with time, I will improve in my speed!

As for uni, I am actually doing BioMedical Science here in Melbourne. So this site makes for a good quick 10 min break to get rid of all the assignments and stress out of my head :)

Kind regards
Peter :)

Thanks Rolanda for your kind thoughts on the death of my husband, Geoff. Our Sudoku family is a great one to have at any time and its a family of choice. I'm honoured to be a member, to have so many friends in Aust & across the world who can share in our good times, have a laugh with us and also be there for us when we need guidance, comfort or strength when times are tough. Thank you for being a part of that family. Lynne

rola~~~thank you for your kind words at such a very hard time for us. your kindness is so very much appreciated.much love to you and yours! xx

Thank you for your thoughts for my good friend.

I see you survived the big party which occasioned CG to start a forum page questioning the wisdom of such antics.

Rolanda, please pass on my wishes to hubby, Peter. Now I'm off to wish my son, Jed a for his 23rd!

Rolanda, just stopping by to wish Peter a .

Rolo it seems that I'm in time to wish Peter a happy birthday and much more...that is something I think you will deliver....I'm crossing the water helter skelter to say hello and best wishes to all of my SA friends. I've not been able to spend much time on site and miss all of the chat and fun...looking forward to a return, however distant but trying not to miss those who have brought a smile to my face....take care and ado until we meet again...soon in print at least!

Thanks Rolanda for the birthday greetings for Jed.
