The Purple People Eater:Sheb Wooley.
#1 in 1958.

#1.
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 "ooh-eee!
it looks like a purple 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..(one eye?)

#2.
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."

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..(one horn?)

#3.
I said, 'Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?'
He said, "It's 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 and roll band!"

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater.
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater.
(We wear short shorts!)
Flyin' purple people eater..sure looks strange to me.

#4.
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 aboppa loppa lim bam boom.

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater.
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater.
(I like short shorts!)
Flyin' purple people eater..sure looks strange to me.
(Purple people?)

#5.
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.

(CLARINET SOLO:)   Tequila!!!

A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
