Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "Whooeee!
It looks like a purple people eater to me."
It was a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
Well, 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 can to land
I want to get a job in a rock and roll band
Bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
Then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, a really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty, with a swingin' tune
"Beep boppa looba, blang, bam, boom"
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater
Pidgeon-toed, under-growed, flying purple people eater
"We wear short shorts" friendly little people eater
Sure looks strange to me
Then he went on his way and what do you know
I saw him last night on a T.V. show
He was blowing it out, really knockin' them dead
Playing rock and roll music through the hole in his head
