well I saw thr thing coming out of the sky
it had one long horn and one big eye
i commenced to shakin' 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 don't eat me
i heard him say in a voice so gruff
i wouldn't eat you 'cos you're too tough
it was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
it sure looks strange to me

i said mr 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 soulrock 'n roll flyin'purple people eater
pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
what a sight to see

well he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
he started to rock really rockin' around
it was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
wop bob a lula wop bam boom
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
ohh 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 blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead
playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head
