Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky It had the one long horn, one big eye (ooh) I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-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) 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?)

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 Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater (We wear short shorts) Friendly little people eater What a sight to see (ooh) 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 bop-bap-aboopa-lappa-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" 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, a-really knockin' 'em dead Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head "Tequila"
