Well, 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
Well, he came down to earth
And he lit in a tree
I said a, "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
I said a, "Mister 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, rock 'n roll
Flyin' Purple People Eater
Pigeon-toed, under-growed
Flyin' Purple People Eater
One-eyed, one-horned
Flyin' Purple 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, I'm singin'
Bop bapa loop a lap
A loom bam boom
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
What a sight to see
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
A Playin' rock 'n roll music
Through the horn on his head
(Saxaphone plays)
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
