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 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' puple people eater

Sure looks stange to me. (one eye?)



Well he came down to earth and 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 cuz 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 it's 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, flying purple

people eater. Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin'

purple people eater (we wear short shorts)

Flyin' purple people eater sure looks strange to me.



And then he swung from the tree and lit on the

ground. He started to rock, really rockin' around

It was a crazy little ditty with a swingin' tune

(sing aboop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom)



Well, bless my soul, rock and roll

flyin' purple people eater.

Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater.

Flyin' little people eater

Sure looks strange to me. (purple people?)



And then he went on his way, and then what do

you know. I saw him last night on a TV show.

He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead



Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in

his head (clarinet solo) ( Tequila)
