Sheb Wooley - Purple People Eater lyrics
rate meWell i saw the thing comin' out of the sky
it had one long horn,and one big eye
i commenced to shaken and said "ohh whee"
it looks like a purple people eater to me
it was a one-eyed, one horned flyin purple
(one eyed, one horned flyin' purple people eater)
A one eyed, one horn 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 don't eat me
and i heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldnt eat you cuz' youre so tough
It was a one eyed, one horn 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, whats your line
he said it's eatin' purple people, and it sure is fine
but thats not the reason why i came to land
i wanna get a job in a rock-in-roll band
well bless my soul, rock n' roll flyin purple people eater
pigeon toed, undergrowed flyin' purple people eater
(we wear short shorts)
friendly purple people eater
sure looks strange to me
And then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground
he started to rock, really rockin' around
it was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
sing a boop boop aboop lopa lup bam boom
bless my soul rock n' roll flyin purple people eater
pigeon toed, undergrowed flyin' purple people eater
(i like short shorts)
Flyin' litle purple people eater
what a sight to see (purple people?)
and then he went on his way, and what do ya' know
I saw him last night on a t.v. show
He was really blowing it out, a really knockin' em' dead
Playin' rock n' roll thriugh the horn in his head
