Purple People Eater
Have you heard of the Purple People Eater
Dad says she's quite lovely if you get a chance to greet her
I'd imagine she's a gigantic ball of purple soft fluff
Just because she's cute doesn't mean she's not tough
Sure she looks a little odd with only one eye
People look scream and run while she silently cries
She's seeking a friend and some fun
Wants her days of being called a monster to be done
Don't be fooled by her name
She doesn't really swallow people whole as a game
She's different, unique, truly a one-of-a-kind
A rare beautiful treasure for anyone to find
Sure she looks real mean with a horn on her head
That horn plays the loveliest of music, not something to dread
Her appearance isn't her fault, she isn't to blame
At the end of the day she just wishes to be treated like you just the same
While you're busy pointing out her flaws and everything you consider to be wrong
All she desires is to fit in and belong
On the outside she looks peculiar quite out of the ordinary
I'd like to meet her I bet inside she's truly extraordinary
