Lyrics The Purple People Eate - Sheb Wooley

The Purple People Eate

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye.
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' puple people eater
Sure looks stange to me.
Well he came down to earth and 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 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.
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, flying purple
people eater.
Pidgeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin'
purple people eater
one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
what a sight to see.
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 aboop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom
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
What a sight to see
And then he went on his way, and then what do you 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 (clarinet solo) (Tequila)
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.
