Lyrics Flying Purple People Eater - Sheb Wooley

Flying Purple People Eater

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!
