Purple People Eater

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
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
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
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, under growed, flyin' purple people eater
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

Little Red Riding Hood

Owoooooooo
Who's that I see walkin' in these woods
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything a big bad wolf could want
Listen to me
Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone
Owoooooooo
What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways
What full lips you have
They're sure to lure someone bad
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone
Owoooooooo
Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't
Owoooooooo!
What a big heart I have-the better to love you with
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want
Owoooooooo
I mean baaaaaa
Baaa

Haunted House

just moved in my new house today
Movin' was hard but I got squared away
Bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house
Still I made up in my mind to stay
Nothin' was a-gonna drive me away
When I seen somethin' that gave me the creep
Had a-one big eye and a-two big feet
I stood right still and I did the freeze
And he did the stroll right up to me
Made a sound with his feet like a drum
Sayin', "You'll be here when the mornin' comes?"
Say, yes, I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house now you know I'm boss
Ain't no haint gonna run me off
In the kitchen my stove was a blazin' hot
The coffee was a boilin' in the pot
The grease had melted in my pan
I had a hunk of meat in my hand
From out of space there sat a man
On a hot stove was pots and pans
"Say, that's hot!" I began to shout
He drank a hot coffee right from the spout
He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Drank the hot grease from the fryin' pan
He said to me, "Now you better run,
And don't be here when the mornin' comes"
Say yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house now you know I'm boss

Dracula's Daughter
03:52

It was late one night when the moon shone bright
I was passing the cemetery
When a bite on the cheek left me feeling weak
That's where I met vampire Mary
When I looked around I was flat on the ground
With a big black thing above me
"Are we gonna get wed or you'll end up dead."
She said "now do you love me?"
Lips are blue, eyes are red
A laugh like gurgling water
But I can't resist that passionate kiss
I'm in love with Dracula's Daughter
Well she gave me a peck that left me a wreck
And said "it'll settle Laddie -
And after that we go meet the old bat,
You must come and see my daddy."
So we climbed a tree and I said,
"Can we please pardon my intrusion?"
Well he gave me a grin and said, "My, you're thin -
You could do with a blood transfusion."
Lips are blue, eyes are red
A laugh like gurgling water
But I can't resist that passionate kiss
I'm in love with Dracula's Daughter
We were wed in June beneath the yellow moon
And we danced around the campfire
Said Mary to me, "When the clock strikes three,
You're a genuine Grade A vampire."
Now hear me right, if you're out at night
Run as fast as your legs will let you
Cos if you don't run, I'm telling you son
Mary and I will get you
Lips are blue, eyes are red
A laugh like gurgling water
But I can't resist that passionate kiss
I'm in love with Dracula's Daughter
