Lyrics

Well I saw this thing drivin' down the street
It had a bunch of dents and its paint was beat
I started shakin' and I said, "Dadgum!"
It looked like a Purple Fender Bender had come

It was a one-geared, one-horned drivin' Purple Fender Bender
(One-geared, one-horned drivin' Purple Fender Bender)
One-geared, (horn sound) drivin' Purple Fender Bender
Looked kind of strange to me (One gear?)

Well, he came down the road and he hit a tree
I said, "Mr. Fender Bender, don't wreck me"
I heard him say in a voice so low,
"I wouldn't smash you 'cause I need a tow"

It was a one-geared one-horned drivin' Purple Fender Bender
(One-geared one-horned drivin' Purple Fender Bender)
Dadgum, (horn sound) drivin' Purple Fender Bender
Looked kind of strange to me (One gear?)

I said, "Mr. Purple Fender Bender, what's your line?"
He said, "Bendin' purple fenders and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I come to you
I've run out of gas and I need a jump too!"

Well, pump my brakes, stop and go, drivin' Purple Fender Bender
Flat tire, I'm out of gas, drivin' Purple Fender Bender
(We wear mud flaps) Drivin' Purple Fender Bender
Sure looks strange to me

And I filled his tank and I gave him a jump
His engine turned over and let out a thump
His pistons was crazy as he drove out of sight

(Funny Engine Noises)

(spoken): Woo-hoo! Ho, ho! Can you believe that?

Original Lyrics

Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn, and one big eye
I commenced to shaking and I said “ooh-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”

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 “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, under-growed, flyin’ purple people eater
(We wear short shorts) flyin’ purple people eater
What a sight to see (oh!)

And then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground
And he started to rock, really rockin’ around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin’ tune
(Sing a boop-boop, a-boopa lopa lum bam boom)

Well, bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin’ purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, under-growers, flyin’ purple people eater
“I like short shorts!” flyin’ purple people eater
What a sight to see (purple people?)

Well he went on his way, and then what do ya know?
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing out, really knockin’ em dead
Playin’ rock and roll music through the horn in his head

“Tequila”
