Bo Diddley buy 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 that ring from me


Won't you come to my house back at home
take a-my baby on away from home
love a-that photo, where ya been

up to your house and gone again

Bo Diddley caught a fat cat

to make a-pretty baby a Sunday hat
Bo Diddley caught him a nanny goat
to make a pretty baby a Sunday coat


Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard
my pretty baby says she wants a bird
