A Flying Purple People Eater - Lyrics

Sing About Purple

P-u-r-p-l-e Tune: I've Been Working on the Railroad
P-u-r-p-l-e
Purple, purple,
P-u-r-p-l-e
Purple's what that spells.
Purple grapes on the vine,
Purple Kool-Aid's fine
P-u-r-p-l-e
Purple's what that spells.

Red and Blue
Red and blue, red and blue,
Mix them and find something new.
Purple like a fresh ripe plum,
Purple like a poor sore thumb,
Red and blue, red and Blue,
Mix them and find something new.

Make Purple Treats

Purple Cow
2 oz. of grape juice,
1/4 c. vanilla ice cream
2 oz. of lemon-lime soda
Blend juice and ice cream, then add soda.


"I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one."
