El Comegente Morado

One night I saw him descend from a planeUna noche lo vi bajar de un avión cuete
he had a long horn in the middle of his cresttenía un cuerno largo en medio del copete
suddenly I remembered that I saw him in a videode pronto me scorde que lo ví en un video

He had a horn, an eye, a tail of purple colorTenía un cuerno, un ojo, un rabo de color morado

what could he be doing here?que andará haciendo aquí?

He flew through my window and got into the closetVoló por mi ventana y se metió en el ropero
Mr. purple people eater, please don't eat meseñor comegente no me coma se lo ruego
with a strange voice he said right awaycon una extraña voz me dijo luego, luego
I won't eat you because you're really ugly.a ti no te como porque estas bien feo.

He had a horn, an eye, a tail...Tenía un curno, un ojo, un rabo...

So I asked what his intention wasEntonces pregunte cual era su intención

He was a rock 'n' roller with a very purple tailSi era un rocanrolero con el rabo bien morado
with his horn and his tail he had come from spacecon su cuerno y con su rabo del espacio había llegado

He climbed the chimney and jumped into the gardenSubio a la chimenea y se brincó al jardín
danced with the girls, couldn't stop laughingbailó con las chavitas no dejo de reír
and his purple tail turned all blue.y su rabo morado se volvió todo azul.
