(Verse 1)
Well, I (D)saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had (A)one long horn, (D)one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I (G)said "ooh-eee!"
It (A)looks like a purple people eater to me
 
(Chorus)
It was a (D)one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(A)(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A (D)one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(A)Sure looks strange to me (D) (One eye?)

(Verse 2) (Change keys)
Well, he (Eb)came down to earth and he hid in a tree
I said, "(Bb)Mr. Purple People Eater, (Eb)don't eat me"
I (Eb)heard him say in a (Ab)voice so gruff
(NC)”I wouldn't eat you cause you're so tough!"
 
(Chorus)
It was a (Eb)one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(Bb)One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
(Eb)One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(Bb)Sure looks strange to me (Eb) (One horn?)

(Verse 3) (Change keys)
I said, "(E)Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?"
He said, "(B)Eatin' purple people and it (E)sure is fine
But (E)that's not the reason that I (A)came to land
I (NC)wanna get a job in a rock and roll band"
 
(Verse 4)
Well, (E)bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
(B)Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(E)(We wear short shorts) Friendly little people eater
(B) What a sight site to see (E) (Oh!)
 
(Verse 5)
Then he (E)swung from a tree and he lit on the ground
He (B)started to rock, really (E)rockin' around
