• sözleri şöyle olan şarkı:
  
  well i saw the thing comin' out of the sky
  it had one long horn, one big eye
  i commenced to shakin' and i said, hoo-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
  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 'cause you're so tough
  
  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 came to land
  i wanna get a job in a rock 'n' roll band
  
  well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
  pigeon-toed, undercoat, flyin' purple people eater
  we wear short shorts - friendly little people eater
  what a sight to see - ow!
  
  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 bop-bop-a-loopa-loppa-lum-bam-boom
  
  well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
  pigeon, toad, undercoat, flyin' purple people eater
  i like short shorts - flyin' purple people eater
  what a sight to see - 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
  
  tequila!
  
  ayrıca, şarkıda da görülebildiği üzere "bay canavar ^*, olayın nedir?" sorusuna verdiği "mor insanları ^* yemek." cevabıyla hiç de mor falan olmadığını belirtmiş şeydir.
