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-eee
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
Well he came down to earth and he hid 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 too 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
I said 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 this land
I want to get a job in a rock and roll band
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
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
And he started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Boop-boop, a-boopa lopa lum bam boom
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
Well, he went on his way, and then what do ya 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 on his head
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 good to me
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said ooh-eee
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
Well he came down to earth and he hid 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 too 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
I said 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 this land
I want to get a job in a rock and roll band
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
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
And he started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Boop-boop, a-boopa lopa lum bam boom
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
Well, he went on his way, and then what do ya 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 on his head
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 good to me
