The Purple People Eater

-Artist: Sheb Wooley
-the # 24 song of the 1955-1959 rock era
-was # 1 for 6 weeks in 1958
-Words and Music by Sheb Wooley

NOTE:< words of the PPE> highly reminiscent of the Chipmunks' "voices"

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple eater to me

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

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. 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>

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line
He said it's 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>

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
He started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
<Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom>

Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
<I like short shorts>
Flyin' little people eater
Sure looks strange to me (Purple People?)

And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a'really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head

<<clarinet solo>>

<Tequila>

PURPLE PEOPLE EATER
(Sheb Wooley)

Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shaking and I said oo-whee

It looks like a purple eater to me

CHORUS
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
(One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater)
A one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looked strange to me
(One eye?)

Well he came down to Earth and he sat in a tree
I said Mr Purple People Eater don't eat me

I heard him say in a voice so gruff

"I wouldn't eat you 'cause you're so tough"

CHORUS
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
One-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looked strange to me
(One horn?)

I said Mr Purple People Eater what's your line?
He said it's eating 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
Well bless-my-soul rock-'n'-roll flying purple people eater
Pigeon-toed undergrowed flying purple people eater
(We wear short shorts) Friendly little people eater

Sure looks strange to me

(Whoo!)

And then he swung from the tree and he sat on the ground
He started to rock, really rocking around
It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune
"Sing a bop-a-bap-a-boop-a-lap-a-bim-bam-boom"

CHORUS
Well bless-my-soul rock-'n'-roll flying purple people eater
Pigeon-toed undergrowed flying purple people eater
"I like short shorts" Flying purple people eater
Quite a sight to see!
(Purple people?)

And then he went on his way, and then what do you know

I saw him last night on a TV show

He was blowing it out, really knocking them dead
Playing rock 'n' roll music through the horn in his head !!!

[sped-up saxophone solo]

"Tequila!"
