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 cloudsBo Diddley - Bo Meets The Monster - http://motolyrics.com/bo-diddley/bo-meets-the-monster-lyrics.html
 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'.
