Purple People Eater - Screaming Lord Sutch

Well, I saw the thing comin' out of the sky

It had one long horn and one big eye

I started to shake and I said, «Ooh-eee!

It looks like a purple people eater to me!»

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

Well, he come 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 too 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

I said, «Mr.

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 come to land

I wanna get a job in an R&B band»

Well goodness me, R&B, flyin' purple people eater

Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater

(He wears white boots)

Friendly little people eater

Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung from the tree and he jumped on the ground

And started to belt a real groovy sound

It was a ravin' number with a swingin' tune

«Singin' doo wah diddy diddy doo wah do»

Well goodness me, R&B, flyin' purple people eater

Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater

«I like white boots»

Friendly little people eater

Sure looks strange to me

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

I see him last night on a TV show

He was blowing it out, really knockin' em dead

Playin' R&B music through the horn in his head
