-4 -4 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Well I saw the thing a-com-in' out of the sky 3 3 -3 -3 -3 3 4 4 4 It had one long horn and one big eye 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 I com-menced a shak-in' and I said "ooh-wee" 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5 4 It looks like a pur-ple peo-ple eat-er to me (CHORUS) 3 -3 -3 4 4 4 4 4 4 It was a one-eyed one-horned fly-in' 4 4 5 4 -3 3 pur-ple peo-ple eat-er -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -4 -3 -2 3 One-eyed one-horned, fly-in' pur-ple peo-ple ea-ter 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 4 -3 3 One-eyed one-horned fly-in' pur-ple peo-ple eater 6 -5 5 -4 4 Sure looked strange to me VERSE 2 Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree I said Mister Purple People Eater, don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough CHORUS VERSE 3 I said Mister 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 and roll band CHORUS 2 Well bless my soul, rock n roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon-toed, under growed, flyin' purple people eater He wears short shorts Friendly purple people eater What a sight to see. VERSE 4 And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground He started to rock, a-really rockin' around It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune Sing a bop bapa loop a lap a loom bam boom CHORUS 2 VERSE 5 And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know I saw him last night on a TV show He was blowin it out, a'really knocking em dead Playin' rock n roll music through the horn in his head |
