Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the 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
One-eyed one-horned flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
One eye
Well he came down to earth and he 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
A 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
Flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed underground
Flyin' purple people eater
We wear short shorts
Flyin' little people eater what signs to say
And then he swung from the tree
And he lit on the ground
And he started to rock really rockin' around
A crazy little ditty with a swingin' tune
Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom
Well bless my soul rock and roll
Flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed underground
Flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts
Flyin' purple people eater
What signs to say
Purple People
Well he went on his way
And then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out
And really knockin' 'em dead
Playin' rock and roll music
Through the horn in his head
