Thanks. I am now ready to sing like Alvin ( I noticed putting my hand over my nose gives the suitable desired effect ) Maybe I should buy the Alvin t shirt too.
As always the mudcatters provide a lot of interesting info re the song: Didn't know these lyrics were related to a Pulitizer Prize winner. But I DID remember Purple People Eater.

Yes those songs were more fun, fun that was not forced, and comedy that was lighthearted and carefree.

Hmmm...no chords, but I guess I can figure them out myself.
