Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley where you been
I been and buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
I'm gonna take it to a private eye
And if that private eye can't see
Well he better not take that ring from me

Bo Diddley once bought a nanny goat
That's to make my baby a sunday coat
Why did he get that big bear cat
To make my baby a sunday hat

Won't you come to my house and rack that bone
Take my baby all the way from home
Look Bo Diddley where you been
Well I've up to your house and I going again

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard
Wll my pretty baby said she was a bird
My pretty baby said she was a bird
My pretty baby said she was a bird
...
