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
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
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 want to 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
Oh
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
Sing a boop-boop a-boopa lopa lum 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 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 in his head
