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

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

We wears short shorts

A friendly little People Eater

What a sight to see

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
