Purple People Eater
Sheb Wooley
[D] Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky,
it had the [A] one long horn, [D] one big eye.
I commenced to shakin' and I [G] said "ooh-eee,
it l[A]ooks like a purple people eater to [D]me !“
It was a [D]one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater,
([A]one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater),
[D]one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater,
[A]sure looks strange to [D] me. (one eye?)
[D] Well, he came down to earth and lit in a tree,
I said, [A] “Mr. Purple People Eater, [D] don't eat me !”
I heard him say in a [G] voice so gruff,
“I [A] wouldn't eat you 'cos you're so [D] tough.”
It was a [D]one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater,
[A]one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater,
[D]one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater,
[A]sure looks strange to [D] me. (one horn?)
[D]I said, “Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?”
He [A]said, “It's eatin' purple people and it [D]sure is fine.
But that's not the reason that I [G]came to land,
I [A]wanna get a job in a rock and roll [D]band”.
Well, [D]bless-my-soul, rock-and-roll, flying purple people eater,
[A]pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flying purple people eater,
([D]we wear short shorts) friendly little people eater,
[A] what a sight to [D]see.
[D]And then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground,
and he[A] started to rock, really [D]rockin' around,
it was a crazy little ditty with a [G]swingin' tune
(sing [A]awop bop aloo bop lop bam [D]boom).
Well, [D]bless-my-soul, rock-and-roll, flying purple people eater,
[A]pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flying purple people eater,
([D]I like short shorts) flyin' little people eater,
[A] what a sight to [D]see! (purple people?)
[D] And then he went on his way, and then what do you know,
I [A] saw him last night on a [D] TV show.
He was blowing it out, a 'really [G] knockin' em dead,
[A] playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his [D] head.
