The Purple People Eater

Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky

It had a one long horn and a one big eye

I commenced to shakin', and I said, "Ooh-wee

It looks like a purple people 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"

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

A 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, "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, under-growed, flyin' purple people eater

We wear short shorts

Friendly little people eater

What a sight to see

And then he swung from the tree, and he lit on the ground

And he started to rock, a-really rockin' around

It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune

"Sing a-bop, bop, a-boopa-lappa, loom, bam, boom"

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater

Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flyin' purple people eater

I like short shorts

Flyin' purple people eater

What a sight to see

Purple people

Well, he went on his way, and then what do you know?

I saw him last night on a TV show

He was blowin' it out, a-really knockin' 'em dead

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