| Oh, 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-horn flyin' Purple People Eater |

| I said: "Mr. Purple People Eater what's your line?" |
| He said: "Eatin' Purple People Eater and it sure is fine |
| But that's not the reason that I came to land |
| (I want to get a job in a Rock-and-Roll band.") |
| Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' Purple People Eater |
| Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flyin' Purple People Eater |
| (We wear short shorts), friendly little People Eater |
| What a sight to see. |
| (Change to E:) (E/A/B7) |
| And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground |
| And he started to rock, really rockin' around |
| It was crazy kid, he was a-swingin', too |
(With a bop-bop-a-loop-a-lop-a-loom-bam-boo.)
| Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' Purple People Eater |

| What a sight to see. |

| Well, he went on his way and then whatta ya know |
| I saw 'im last night on a TeeVee show |
| He was blowin' it out, really knockin' 'em dead |
| Playin' Rock-and-Roll music through the horn in his head. |
| Instrumental |
