The Purple People Eater Lyrics By Sheb Wooley

    aaaaahhhh

    well i saw the thing comin’ out of the sky
    it had aone long horn and one big eye ooh
    i commenced to shakin’ and i said ooheee
    it looks like a purple people eater to me

    it was a oneeyed onehorned flyin’ purple people eater
    oneeyed onehorned flyin’ purple people eater
    a oneeyed onehorned 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 oneeyed onehorned flyin’ purple people eater
    oneeyed onehorned flyin’ purple people eater
    oneeyed onehorned 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 wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

    well bless my soul rock and roll flyin’ purple people eater
    pigeontoed undergrowed flyin’ purple people eater
    we wear short shorts
    friendly little people eater
    what a sight to see oooh

    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 bop bap aboopa lappa loom bam boom

    well bless my soul rock and roll flyin’ purple people eater
    pigeontoed 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

    spedup saxophone
