Well I saw the thing
comin’ out of the sky
It had one long horn
and one big eye
I commenced to shakin’
and I said ‘ooo-eee’
It looks like a purple
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

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

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
why 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
(He wear short shorts)
Friendly little people eater
What a sight to see

Well then he swung from the tree
and he lit on the ground
Then started to rock and
really rockin’ around
He was a crazy kid
with a swingin’ tune
Sing a bop bop a loopa 
lopa loom bam boom

Well bless my soul, rock and roll,
flyin’ purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed,
flyin’ purple people eater
(I like short shorts)
Friendly little purple eater
What a sight to see

Well he went on his way
and what do you 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
from the horn in his head

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

Well bless my soul, rock and roll,
flyin’ purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed,
flyin’ purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned,
flyin’ purple people eater
What a sight to see
