Bo Diddley bought his baby a diamond ring

If that diamond ring don't shine

He gonna take it to a private eye

If that private eye can't see

He better not take the ring from me

Bo Diddley bought a nanny goat

To make his pretty baby a Sunday coat

Bo Diddley bought a bear-a-cat

To make his pretty baby a Sunday hat
 [bad word] to my house, a black cat bone

And take my baby away from home

Ugly ole Mojo where's he been

Up to your house and gone again

Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard?

My pretty baby said she was a bird
