Purple People Eater

The Purple People Eater:Sheb Wooley. #1 in 1958. #1.(Original keys. Check it out on YouTube.) Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky, it had one long horn, one big eye. I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee!", It looks like a purple people eater to me. Chorus: 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?) #2.(Change keys.) 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: NC "I wouldn't eat you cause you're so tough!" Chorus: 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?) #3.(Change keys.) I said, "Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?" He said, "It's 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." #4. Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater. Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater. (We wear short shorts) Flyin' purple people eater.. Sure looks strange to me. #5. And then 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.. Sing a bop bop-a-boppa-loppa-lim-bam-boom. #6. Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater. Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater. I like short shorts!..Flyin' little people eater. Sure looks strange to me. (Purple People?) #7.(Change keys) And then he went on his way, and then 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 and roll music through the horn in his head. // Tequila! A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
