Flying Purple People Eater - Sheb Wooley

Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky

It had one long horn and one big eye

I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee

It looks like a purple people eater to me

It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater

It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater

It was a one-eyed one-horned flying 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 'cos you’re so tough

It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater

One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater

one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater

It sure looks strange to me

One horn?

I said Mr Purple People Eater what’s your line

He said eating 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 'n roll band

Well bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater

Pigeon-toed under-towed flyin' purple people eater

We wear short shorts friendly little people eater

What a sight to see!

Well, 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 swinging tune

Wop bop a lula wop bam boom

Well bless my soul rock and roll flying purple people eater

Pigeon-toed under-towed flyin' purple people eater

I wear short shorts friendly little people eater

What a sight to see

Well he went on his way and then what do you know

I saw him last night on a TV show

He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead

Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head!
