Well, I saw the thing
A comin' out of the sky
It had a one long horn
And a 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
Sure looked strange to me
One eye
Well, he came down to earth
And he lit in a tree
I said, Mister 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 looked strange to me
One horn
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 land
I wanna get a job
In a rock 'n roll band
Well, bless my soul, rock 'n roll
Flyin' Purple People Eater
Pigeon toed, under growed
Flyin' Purple People Eater
He wears short shorts
A friendly little People Eater
What a sight to see
Oooohhh
And 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 loop a lap
A loom bam boom
Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll
Flyin' Purple People Eater
Pigeon toed, under growed
Flyin' Purple People Eater
I like short shorts
A Flyin' Purple People Eater
What a sight to see
Purple people
Well, he went on his way
And then what a you know
I saw him last night
On a TV show
He was blowin' it out
Really knockin' 'em dead
Playin' rock 'n roll music
Through the horn on his head
Boogie woogie
