Lyrics
AAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!! Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky It had a-one long horn and 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! (Oooh!) 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 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' little people eater What a sight to see! (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 [Sped-up saxophone solo] "Tequila"
