Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "Ooh-eee"
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
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (one eye?)
Well, he came down to Earth and he laid in the 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
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, undergrowed, 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 laid 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 aboopa-lopa, loom bam-boom"
Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, 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 through the horn in his head
