Episode Version
The Chipmunks:
Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin'
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
It was a one-eyed
One-horned
Flyin' purple people eater
It was a one-eyed
One-horned
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
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
It was a one-eyed
One-horned
Flyin' purple people eater
It was a one-eyed
One-horned
Flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me
Well, bless my soul
Rock n' roll
Flying purple people eater
Pigeon-toed
Undergrowed
Flyin' purple people eater
He wears short-shorts
Friendly little people eater
What a sight to see!

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere sits a tiny chipmunk, Simon Seville, waiting for a sign from outer space.
Simon:

And lit on the ground
He started to rock
Really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
Singin' "Aboop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom!"
