Well I saw the thing a comin' out of the sky It had a one long horn and one big eye I commits a shakin' and I said oo-ooee It looks like a purple people eater to me It was 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 eye) Well it came down to earth and it lived 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 so tough) It was 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 Mr Purple People Eater what's your line He said 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'n roll band) Well bless my soul a rock'n roll flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed underfloor flyin' purple people eater (We wear short shorts) Friendly little purple people eater what a sight to see And then he swing from the tree and he laid on the ground Then he started to rock really rockin' around He was crazy kiddie with a swingin' tune (Sing a bop bop a boopa rim bam boom) Well bless my soul a rock'n roll flyin' purple people eater... Well he went on his way and then what do you know I saw him last night on a TV show He was blowin' out a really knockin' 'em dead Playin' rock'n roll music through the horn in his head [ sax ] (Tequilla)
