Purple People Eater

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) A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me (one eye?) Well he came down to earth and he laid in the 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 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 horn?) I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line? And 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 and roll band" Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater (We wear short shorts) Friendly little people eater What a sight to see And then he swung from the tree and he laid on the ground And he started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune "Sing a bop-bop aboopa-lopa, loom bam-boom" Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater "I like short shorts" Flyin' purple people eater Quite a sight to see (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, a-really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head
