[Verse]
        D
Well, I saw the thing comin' out of 
the sky..
       A              D
it had one long horn, one big eye.
D                            G
I commenced to shakin' and I said 
"ooh-eee!
   A                   D
it looks like a purple eater to me!"

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

[Verse]
E
Well, he came down to earth and he 
lit in a tree.
         B                        
I said, 'Mr. Purple People Eater, 
E
don't eat me.'
E                    A     
I heard him say in a voice so 
             B
gruff.."I wouldn't eat you
                E
cause you're so tough."

He said, "It's eatin' purple people
        E
