Diddley Daddy
(McDaniel/Fuqua)

Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.
I got a baby that's oh so pretty.
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
I found her out here in the windy city
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley).
Somebody kissing my baby last night.
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
My pretty baby said " Junior that's all right".
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.
Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy.

(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
my pretty baby started to cry in vain
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
Said: "Mick, Honey child, you're a natural born man"
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
I love you baby with all my heart
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
Please don't ever say we'll apart
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)

Honey child, honey child, yes I say
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
I wanna know if you do love me
(Diddley diddley dum, dum dum di-diddley)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
(Diddley, diddley, diddley, diddley daddy)
