        D
Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky..
       A              D
it had one long horn, one big eye.
D                            G
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee!
   A                   D

[Chorus]
D
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater.
 A
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater.)
  D
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater.
A                     D
Sure looks strange to me..(one eye?)

[Verse]
E
Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree.
         B                        E
I said, 'Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me.'
E                    A                  B
I heard him say in a voice so gruff.."I wouldn't eat you
                E
cause you're so tough."

[Chorus]

[Verse]
         E
I said, 'Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?'
               B                           E
He said, "It's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine.
E                                A
But that's not the reason that I came to land..
  B                                  E
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band!"

[Chorus]
E
Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater.

Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater.

[Verse]
E
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground.
   B                       E
He started to rock, really rockin' around.
E                           A
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune..
       B                            E
