Purple People Eater

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-eeh

It looks like a purple 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" (Hey!)

I heard him say in a voice so gruff

"I wouldn't eat you 'cause 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

What a sight to see!

And then he swung from the tree and he laid on the ground

He started to rock, really rockin' around

It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune

Sing a

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

What a sight to see! (Purple people?)

And then he went on his way and then what do you know

I saw him last night on a TV show

He was blowing it out, really knockin' 'em dead

Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head
