A-diddley bow!
A-diddley bow!
Take the wire off an old broom.
On the side'a yo' house gotta find some room.
Get two cans and a couple'a nails.
Hook up the wire and you're ready to sail -
Come on now!
With only one string you can't go wrong,
So go ahead, make yourself a song.
Make it kinda funky, everybody gonna know
You got yourself a diddley bow!
Diddley bow, diddley bow all the time -
Oh, have mercy gonna have a good time.
Diddley bow, diddley bow all the time -
Oh, have mercy gonna have a good time.
Come on now!
JUNGLE BEAT!
With only one string you can't go wrong,
So go ahead, make yourself a song.
Make it kinda funky, everybody gonna know
You got yourself a diddley bow!
If you want one just like mine
You need a two-by-four and a little bit'a time.
Decorate it up and you're ready to go.
You got yourself a diddley bow!
Diddley bow, diddley bow all the time -
Ph, have mercy gonna have a good time. (x4)
Diddley bow, diddley bow! (x14)
