Lyrics:

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?)
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
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'
