Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

  Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky

  It had one long horn and one big eye(OOOH!)

I commenced to shakin' in the center ring

  It looks like a purple people-eater to me

Chorus

  It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people-eater

  One-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people-eater

  One-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people-eater

  Sure looks strange to me!

Verse 2

When he came down to earth he hid in a tree

I said, "Mr. Purple People-Eater, don't eat me"

And I heard him say in a voice so gruff,

"I wouldn't eat you 'cause you're so tough."

(Chorus)

Verse 3

I said, "Mr. Purple People-Eater, what's your line?"

He said, "Eating purple people and it sure is fine.

But that's not the reason I came to land,

I wanna get a job in a rock 'n' roll band."

Chorus 2

Well, this my soul rock 'n' roll flying purple people-eater

Pigeon-toed, under-grown, flying purple people-eater

(We wear short shorts) friendly little people-eater

What a sight to see! OOOH!

Verse 4

Then he swung from a tree, and he hit on the ground

He started to rock, really rocking around

It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune

"Sing a-bop bap-a-boop-a-lap-a-loom-bam-boom!"

Verse 5

Well, he went on his way, and what do you know?

I saw him last night on a T.V. show

He was blowing it out, really knocking 'em dead,

Playing rock 'n' roll music through the hole in his head

Thanks for looking,
