|
I was sittin' in my front room
|
I heard a loud crash
|
I run to the window to see what was there
|
Out into trouble my old apple tree
|
There was a one-eyed-purple-people-eater
|
Lookin' at me
|
He yelled, 'Ooh-ooh, bluh-bluh-bluh-bluh'
|
|
I jumped in my plane
|
And I took to the clouds
|
I had to go see what the mess all about-a
|
A-this mess my mother did not understand
|
All these funny lookin' people from another land
|
He hollered, 'Ooh-ooh, bluh-bluh-bluh-bluh'
|
|
My baby standing in the do' and she was hollin' real loud
|
'Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley, don't leave me in this house'
|
I said, 'Take it easy baby, you know I've got to go'
|
I said, 'Lock all the windows and bolt all the do's'
|
She hollered, 'Ooh-ooh-ooh, bluh-bluh-bluh-bluh'
|
|
(instrumental)
|
|
A-when I saw their master boy, you oughta see
|
He was a-wiggling and a-grinnin' and a-stigglin' at me
|
I jumped in my plane and I made it back home
|
The purple people eaters had my baby and gone
|
I hollered, 'Ooh-ooh, bluh-bluh-bluh-bluh'.
