Flying Purple People Eater Lyrics

Sheb Wooley

Well i saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn and one big eye
i commenced to shaken' 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 flying purple people eater)
a one eyed one horned flyin' purple people eater
sure looks strange to me (one eye?)

well he he came down to earth and he lit on a tree
i said a mister purple people eater, dont eat me
i heard him say in a voice so gruff
i wouldn't est you cuz your 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 looked strange to me (one horn?)

i said mister purple people eater, whats your line
he said eaten purple people and it sure is fine
but thats not he reson 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
piegon-toed, under growed,flyin' purple people eater
i like short shorts
flyin' purple people eater
sure looked 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 T.V. show
he was blowing it out really knockin'em dead
playing rock and roll music though the horn on his head
