Purple People Eater

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 "Oohwee,
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

Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said, "Mister Purple People Eater, don't eat me"
Well I heard him say in a voice so gruff,
“I wouldn't eat you cause you're so tough”…Chorus

I said, "Mister Purple People Eater, what's your line?"
He said, “Eatin' purple people, and it sure is fine.”
“What is the reason  that you came to this land?”
“I wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll band…Chorus

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, singin'
Bop bapa loo bop a bop sham boom…Chorus

Well, he went on his way and what-a you know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowin' it out, a really knockin' 'em dead
Playin' rock 'n 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 strange to me, sure looks strange to me!
