There's a great big mystery
And it sure is worrying me
This Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie

I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
The little girl about four feet four
(Said:) Come on papa and give me some more

Of your Diddie Wa Diddie, your Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
I went around and walked around

Somebody yelled, said: Look who's in town
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means

Went to church, put my hand on the seat
Lady sat on it, said, Daddy, you sure is sweet
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie

I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
I said: Sister, I'll soon be gone
Just gimme that thing you're sitting on

Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
Then I got put out of church

Cause I talked about Diddie Wa Diddie too much
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
