Purple People Eater

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater (One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) Yeah, it was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me [Verse 2] 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" [Chorus] It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater (One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) Yeah, it was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me [Verse 3] I said, "Purple People Eater, what's your line?" He said, "Eatin' purple people and it sure is fine That's not the reason that I came to this land 'Cause I want a job in a rock and roll band" [Chorus] It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater (One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) Yeah, it was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me [Verse 4] And he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground And he started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy little ditty with a swingin' tune A-bop, bop-a-loo-bop, a-bop, bam, boom [Chorus] It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater (One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) Yeah, it was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me [Verse 5] Well, he went on his way, and then what do ya know? I saw his last night on a TV show He was blowin' it out, really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn on his head [Chorus] It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater (One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater) Yeah, it was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks good to me
