When I was a kid I heard Bo Diddley

Yeah, once upon a time I saw Bo Diddley

And I sure danced like a spinning top

Everybody wished it would never stop

 

Bo Diddley…

 

Mu mama said: Whe´d ye get that notion

And my papa said: That´s locomotion

Well it might have been too much to ask

But this was really out of their bag

 

Bo Diddley….

 

Go and tell the United Nations

Tellém we got a Big sensation

Come on in and bust your glands

Move your feet and shake your hands

 

Bo Diddley….

 

Go and speak at the next convention

´cause now it´s time for a rejuvenation

lick ém all an´let ém jazz

shake your bones an´move your ass

 

Bo Diddley…..
