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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
