Now, you heard of the Purple People Eater
And they sing of the Witchdoctor too
I guess these songs have sold a million copies
Well, I got one to sell a million too

Well, I was out in the graveyard about twelve o'clock
Something hit me, it felt like a rock
I thought it was a owl flying 'round and around
But it's just an old ghost diggin' holes in the ground

I said wait a minute boy, wait a minute
I said wait a minute boy, I say
Wait a minute boy, wait a minute, wait a minute
Before you run away

Now, I've seen a lot of strange things
I've heard a lot of strange things too
But the strangest thing I've ever heard
Is when he said, I want you!

I said wait a minute boy, wait a minute
I said wait a minute boy, I say
Wait a minute boy, wait a minute, wait a minute
Before you run away

[Repeat Chorus]
