[c] well i saw the thing coming out of the sky
it had [g] one long horn and [c] one big eye
i commenced to shakin' and i [f] said oo-wee
it [g7] looks like a purple people eater to [c] me
chorus:
It was a [c] one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
a [g7] one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
a [c] one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
[g7] sure looks good to [c] me
well, he [c] came down to earth and he lit in a tree
i said [g7] mr purple people eater [c] don't eat me
i [c] heard him say in a [f] voice so gruff
i [g7] would[nc]n't eat you 'cos you're too tough
chorus
i said [c] mr purple people eater what's your line
he said [g7] eating purple people and it sure is fine
but [c] that's not the reason that i [f] came to land
i [g7] wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll [c] band
[c] well, bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater
[g7] pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
[c] one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
[g7] what a sight to [c] see
well, he [c] swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
he [g7] started to rock, really [c] rockin' around
it was a crazy ditty with a [f] swinging tune, singin’
[g7] wop [nc] bop a lula wop bam boom
chorus
well he [c] went on his way and then what do you know
i [g7] saw him last night on a [c] tv show
he was a blowin' it out and really [f] knockin' them dead
playing [g7] rock 'n roll music through the horn in his [c] head
chorus[/color]
