Letras de Purple People Eater

In these days of flying saucers and sputniks
You expect almost anything to happen
The Thing, the Fly, the Mole People, the Gamma people
The Indestructible Fossil Man, the Amazing Colossal Man
The Body Snatchers, the Highly Incredible Brain Scratchers
I Was A Teenage Werewolf, I Was A Fifty-Foot Woman
And Other Unidentifiable Flying Objects

I dismissed them all as being science fiction
They belonged on a library shelf
But here I am facing contradiction
′Cause it happened to me myself

The sky turned red
And then it turned green
I couldn't catch my breath
And then there was a roar of thunder
That scared me half to death
Then I saw it, yeah
I saw it, yes

I saw a thing a-coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I got mystagin′ and I said, "Ooh-wee"
It looks like a purple people eater to me

That 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 looks strange to me

Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said, "Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me"
He looked at me and then he said
"I wouldn't eat you ′cause you is red"

One-eyed, flying purple people eater
One-horned, flying purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

I said, "Mr. Purple People Eater, what′s your line?"
He said, "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"

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrown, flying purple people eater
He wears short shorts, flying purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me

Well, he went on his way and then what do you know
I saw him last night on the Sullivan Show
Blowing it out, really knocking ′em dead
Blowing purple music through the horn in his head

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flying purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrown, flying purple people eater
Now all you blue people, all you red people
Better watch what you do
Or else the purple people eaters might eat you
