Verse 1:
Well, I saw the thing,
A-comin' out of the sky,
It had the a-one long horn,
An' one big eye. (Ooo!)
I commenced to shakin',
And I said, "Ooo-eee,
It looks like a purple eater to me."

Chorus 1:
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?)

Verse 2:
Well, he came down to earth,
And he lit in the 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 1:
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?)

Verse 3:
I said, "Mr. Purple People Eater,
What's your line?"
He said, "Eatin' purple people,
And it shor' is fine.
But that's not the reason,
That I came to land,
((I wanna get a job,))

Chorus 2:
Well a-bless my soul, rock'n'roll,
Flyin' purple people eater.
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed,
Flyin' purple people eater.

Friendly little people eater.
What a sight to see. (Ohhh!)

Verse 4:
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-boop-a-lop,))
((A-loom bam boom.)){{2}}

(Purple People?)

Verse 5:
Well, he went on his way,
And then a-what do ya know,
I saw him last night,
On a TV show.
He was blowin' it out,
A-really knockin' 'em dead,
Playin' rock'n'roll music,
Through the horn in his head.
