Week Seventy-Eight: Spooky Tunes - Part Deux - Bubblegum Rock Style - Sheb Wooley - "The Purple People Eater"

Today, I have a really fun tale for you. My little dog, Pixie (pictured below), whom I mentioned last week, is a Chihuahua-Terrier mix, and she is a playful little thing!!!

Her favorite toy is called a loofa (pictured below), and the very first one I ever bought for her was purple.

So you can probably see where this story is going, but I would call her toy the Purple People Eater. I eventually got tired of saying the whole thing, and I started to say: "Pixie, go get Purple!!!" She would come running down the hall, with her Purple in her mouth, tripping over herself and her toy, just as happy as could be...

Now, it doesn't matter what color loofa I purchase because to her they are all Purple. In fact, her current loofa is tiger-striped (pictured below), but it's still a Purple People Eater as far as she is concerned!!! :-D

Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky

It had the 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)

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 cuz 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?)

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

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 boop boop aboopa lopa lum 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' little people eater

Sure looks strange to me (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
