Purple People Eater Songtext

von Gillan & Glover

Well I saw thr thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
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
Sure looks good to me

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 'cos you're too tough
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
It sure looks strange to me

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 soulrock 'n roll flyin'purple people eater
Pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
What a sight to see

Well he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Wop bob a lula wop bam boom
One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Ohh it sure looks strange to me

Well he went on his way and then what do you know
I saw him last night on a tv show
He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead
Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head
