"Well I saw this thing comin' out of the sky It had one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"It looks like a people eater to me
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 eye?)
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 want to get a job in a rock and roll band.
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?)
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
Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
P igeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned,flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?
