Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky It had the one long horn, one big eye I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee" It looks like a purple 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 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 '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? He said "eatin' purple people and it sure is fine But that's not the reason that I came to land I want to get a job in a rock and roll band" Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flyin' purple people eater (We wear short shorts) friendly little people eater What a sight to see (oh!) And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground And he started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune (Sing a boop-boop, a-boopa lopa lum bam boom) Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed, under growed, flyin' purple people eater "I like short shorts!" flyin' purple people eater What 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, really knockin' em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head "Tequila!"
