Hey! Hey! Bo Diddley have you heard?
Mama's gonna buy me a mocking bird
And If that mocking bird don't sing,
Mama's gonna buy me a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine
Mama's gonna take it to a private eye
If that private eye can't see
Mama what are you gonna do to me?
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Bo Diddley
Hey! Bo Diddley
Hey! Hey! Bo Diddley have you heard?
Mama's gonna buy me a mocking bird
And If that mocking bird don't sing,
Mama's gonna buy me a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine
Mama's gonna buy me a bottle of wine
If that bottle of wine gets broke
Mama's gonna buy me a nanny goat
And if that nanny goat runs away
Mama's gonna beat him at Boom-Di-Aye
