Standard (EADGBE)
Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky,
it had one long horn, one big eye.
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee!",
It looks like a purple people eater to me.
Chorus
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!"
Chorus
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, "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, flyin' purple people eater.
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater.
(We wear short shorts) Flyin' purple people eater..
Sure looks strange to me.
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 bop bop--boppa-loppa-lim-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.
Sure looks 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 TV show.
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' 'em dead..
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head.
F // Tequila!
