Well I saw the [bad word]  out of the sky
 It had the one long horn, one big eye
 [bad word] to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
 It looks like a purple 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 (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 [bad word]  I wouldn't eat you cuz 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 it's 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)
 Flyin' purple people eater
 Sure looks strange to me

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 boop boop aboopa lopa lum 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' little people eater
 Sure looks strange to me (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
