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
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

He wears short shorts
A friendly little People Eater
What a sight to see

Oooohhh
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
Boogie woogie
