Lol! Thanks, but I know the song. I just turned 60 last month. :)
I was just playing with the words in the song’s title. Because it could be read two different ways.
Purple People Eater:
1) The people eater was purple
or
2) the “purple people eater” ate purple people
Just as I suspected - a punk kid who hasnt even been to your 50th HS class reunion yet . . .
I said “Mister 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 rock & roll band!”
From memory
