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
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!
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)
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."
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!
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!"
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,
Benny Shakkit
