Sheb Wooley The Purple People Eater Lyrics:
(ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.)

Well, I saw the thing,
a-Comin' out of the sky,
It had the a-one long horn,
One big eye.
I commenced to shakin',
And I said "Ooo-eee,
It looks like a purple eater to me."

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.")

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 horn?)

I said, "Mr. Purple People Eater,

What's your line?"
He said, "Eatin' purple people,
And it shore 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 a-bless my soul, rock'n'roll,
Flyin' purple people eater.
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed,
Flyin' purple people eater.
(We wear short shorts.)
Friendly little people eater.
What a sight to see.
(Ohhh!)

And then he swung from the tree,
And he lit on the ground,
An' he started to rock,
a-Really rockin' around.
It was a crazy ditty,
With a swingin' tune,
(Sing a-bop-bop, a-boopa-loppa,)
(Loom-bam-boom.)

((Well bless my soul, rock'n'roll,))
((Flyin' purple people eater.))
((Pigeon-toed, undergrowed,))
((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 then a-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'n'roll music,
Through the horn in his head.

[Coda, featuring clarinet solo.]

(Tequila!)
