I began this song the day I heard the news that our dearly beloved had moved on to the afterworld. I thought some of my fellow purple soldiers might enjoy it.

This is my first attemt at posting original material.

My lyrics:

The Purple Man

There once was a purple man rockin out the neighborhood

He played his music funky til the funk was understood

Sittin on the purple lawn pondering why Prince is gone

Wonderwhat the hell went wrong and was he 'Welcome 2 The Dawn'

After all the "Purple Rain' he never let the music go

Find 'The Truth' 2 'The Cross' and answers 2 the April snow

There once was a purple man who 'Rocked Hard In A Funky Place'

It sounded righteous like it oughta should every time he played bass

'Hello' 'Sexuality' that makes all of the ladies swoon

'Party Up' 'Dance Electric' underneath a 'Cherry Moon'

Cherry Moon

He died for 'The Tears In Your Eyes' and 'Doves began to cry'

'Now' he's 'Uptown' with all 'Seven' and I truly 'Wish him Heaven'

I see 'Lady-Cab Drivers' wearin 'Raspberry Berets'

'I Wanna Be Your Lover' 'Anna Steisia' 'Come' on 'Baby' 'Lets Go Crazy'

Let's Go Crazy

I 'Gett Off' on 'Blue Computers' 'Red Corvettes' and 'Darling Nikki'

'Dirty Minds' 'Controversy' dining on 'Starfish and Coffee'

'Rave un 2 The Joy Fantastic' 'Superfunkycalifragi-sexy'

Hangin out on 'Alphabet Street' in the new 'Erotic City'

Erotic City

There once was a purple man rockin out the neighborhood

He played his bass funky til the funk was understood
