Diddley Diddley daddy
I got a baby that's oh so pretty,
I found her right here in the Windy City
Somebody kissed my baby last night,
my pretty baby cried, you know it wasn't right
Diddley Diddley daddy
Diddley Diddley daddy
My baby started to cry in vain,
say, "Bo Diddley, you know you're a natural born man"
I say I love you baby with all my heart,
please don't never say we'll part.
Diddley Diddley daddy
Diddley Diddley daddy
Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley here's our scene,
I want to know if you do love me
Diddley Diddley daddy
