Intro: 
G7
Ah!

        C                                                                 
Well, I saw the thing, comin’ out of the sky 
       G7                C
It had one long horn and one big eye Oh!
                             F                   
I commenced to shakin’ and I said, “ooh-wee”! 
   G7                          C
It looked like a purple people eater to me. 
                   
Chorus: 
         C
It was a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
G7
One-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
  C 
A one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
 G7                    C
Sure looked strange to me. One eye?

        C                                                  
When he came down to earth and he lit in a tree 
         G7                       C
I said, “Mr. Purple People Eater, don’t eat me”
                     F
I heard him say in a voice so gruff 

“I wouldn’t eat you ‘cause you’re so tough.”

Chorus: 
         C
It was a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
G7
One-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
  C
A one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
 G7                    C
Sure looked strange to me. One Horn?

        C                                                       
I said ”Mister Purple People Eater, what’s your line?” 
        G7                          C
He said eating purple people and it sure is fine

                                 F  
But that’s not the reason that I came to land 

“I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band.”


Chorus:
 
      C
Well, bless my soul, rock, and roll, flying purple people eater
G7
Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flying purple people eater
C
We wear short shorts! friendly little people eater
 G7             C
What a sight to see! Oooh!
 


        C                                                  
Then he swung from a tree and he lit on the ground 
       G7                      C
And he started to rock, really rockin’ around
         C                  F
It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune 

“Sing a lop bop a Lula, a lop bam boom”

Chorus: 

      C
Well, bless my soul, rock, and roll, flying purple people eater
G7 
Pigeon-toed, under-growed, flying purple people eater
C
I like short-shorts! flying purple people eater
G7              C
What a sight to see! Purple people!

        C                                       
Well he went on his way and what do you know 
      G7                  C
I saw him last night on a TV show
                              F                          
He was blowing it out, really knocking ‘em dead 
        G7                              C
Playing rock and roll music through the horn in his head
