The Purple People Eater Lyrics


Sha Na Na The Purple People Eater

Woooooooh...
Ah well I saw this thing comin' out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye, ooh
I commenced to shakin' and I said ooh-wee
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
One-eyed one-horned flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
One-eyed
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-horned
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 'n' roll band
Well, bless my soul, rock 'n' roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flyin purple people eater
We wear short shorts, friendly purple people eater
And then he swung on the tree and he lit on the ground
And he started to rock, a really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swinging' tune
Sing a bop-boppa-lupa-lopa-loop-bam-boom
Well bless my soul, rock 'n' roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flyin' purple people eater
I like short shorts, flyin' purple people eater
What a sight to see
Purple people
Well he went on his way and what do you know
I saw him last night on a TV show-acapo
