Lyrics
well i saw the thing coming out of the sky
it had one long horn and one big eye
i commenced to shakinâ and i said oo-wee
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
sure looks good to me
well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
i said mr purple people eater donât eat me
i heard him say in a voice so gruff
i wouldnât eat you âcos youâre too tough
it was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
sure looks strange to me
i said mr purple people eater whatâs your line
he said eatinâ purple people and it sure is fine
but thatâs not the reason that i came to land
i wanna get a job in a rockân roll band
well bless my soul rockân roll flyinâ purple eater
pigeon-toed under-growed flyinâ purple eater
one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
what a sight to see
well he swung from the tree and he lit the ground
he started to rock really rockinâ around
it was a crazy ditty with a swinginâ tune
wop bop a lula wop bam boom
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
ooh it sure looks strange to me
well he went on his way and then what do you know
i saw him last night on a tv show
he was a blowinâ it out and really knockinâ them dead
playing rockân roll music through the horn in his head
it had one long horn and one big eye
i commenced to shakinâ and i said oo-wee
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
sure looks good to me
well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
i said mr purple people eater donât eat me
i heard him say in a voice so gruff
i wouldnât eat you âcos youâre too tough
it was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
sure looks strange to me
i said mr purple people eater whatâs your line
he said eatinâ purple people and it sure is fine
but thatâs not the reason that i came to land
i wanna get a job in a rockân roll band
well bless my soul rockân roll flyinâ purple eater
pigeon-toed under-growed flyinâ purple eater
one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
what a sight to see
well he swung from the tree and he lit the ground
he started to rock really rockinâ around
it was a crazy ditty with a swinginâ tune
wop bop a lula wop bam boom
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
ooh it sure looks strange to me
well he went on his way and then what do you know
