VERSE 2
Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mister Purple People Eater, don’t eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn’t eat you cuz you’re so tough
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I said Mister Purple People Eater, what’s your line?
He said eatin’ purple people and it sure is fine
But that’s not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band
CHORUS 2
Well bless my soul, rock n roll, flyin’ purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, under growed, flyin’ purple people eater
He wears short shorts
Friendly purple people eater
What a sight to see.
VERSE 4
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, a-really rockin’ around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin’ tune
Sing a bop bapa loop a lap a loom bam boom
CHORUS 2
VERSE 5
And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowin it out, a’really knocking em dead
Playin’ rock n roll music through the horn in his head
Was this a good
