The Purple People Eater

The Purple People Eater - Sheb Wooley

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 cuz 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 it's 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 purple people eater

Where the said to see

And then 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

Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum 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' little people eater

What a sight to see purple people

And then 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
