  • Song Lyrics:

    Way back when in '64,
    when war was civil and gold worth more,
    the west was wild and still untamed,
    and arrows flew and dudes were maimed,
    and you sometimes lost your hair at an early age.

    Out on the plain, where the water weren't,
    the right to live, it had to be earnt,
    The prickly pear and the ol' desert snake
    were the only friends that you could make,
    and the paranoid Indians skulked behind each rock.

    Eastern dudes who craved adventure
    sometimes went as far as Denver
    But when them corpses piled on in,
    solid arrows, knee to chin,
    they changed their minds and moved to Nova Scotia.

    Old Grandaddy made his home out west,
    selling Japanese pottery to the few tourists..
    The Indians never gave him no fits,
    'cause old Grandad used to get 'em blitzed.
    and sometimes he'd get pickled right along with 'em.

    You see, just one shot of ol' Grandad's juice,
    would get you yellin', screamin' loose.
    It was half a snort of that Orange Fixer
    topped with Purple Passion Elixir
    and I asked my ol' Grandaddy what the hell it was.
    (and he started to sing.)

    It was orange and purple passion.
    Got me talkin' loud, made me stick out in a crowd.
    It was orange and purple passion.
    I don't know what comes over me
    I get so drunk that I can't see.
    and then I hear that ol' banjo,
    guitar pickin', soft and low,
    when Orange and Purple drinks are passed around..

    (lead break)

    It was orange and purple passion.
    It made me act a fool, and it made me blow my cool.
    It was orange and purple passion.
    I don't know what comes over me
    I get so drunk that I can't see.
    and then I hear that washboard click,
    kazoo and wahstub bass sound slick,
    when Orange and Purple drinks are passed around..

    It was orange and purple passion.
    Orange and Purple Passion set me free.
    It was orange and purple passion.
    It damn near made a believer out of me.

    It was orange,
    orange,
    orange
    and purple passion.
    It made me act a fool, made me go and blow cool.

    It was orange,
    orange,
    orange
    and purple passion.
    It damn near made a believer out of me.
    It damn near made a believer out of me.
    It damn near made a believer out of me.
