Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Well I got a baby whose oh so pretty,
Found her right here in this knock dead city.
Saw somebody kissing my baby last night.
My baby said Jimmy that's all right.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Baby now baby understand.
Jimmy looks good but he's a happy man.
Roly looks good but he's oh so cold.
That big ol' drummer gonna wreck your soul.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Two orphan babies were a laying in the bed.
The big one turned to Jimmy and said,
"I love you Jimmy with all of my heart."
Jimmy woke up and tore the place apart.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Well baby now baby hear my scene.
I wanna know if you do love me.
I love you baby with all my heart.
Oh please don't ever say we will part.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley, daddy.
A-be-by-bick-ya-bye-go-go-go-yeah!
