Bo diddley buy my 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'd better not take the ring from me. 

Bo diddley caught a nanny goat, 
To make his pretty baby a sunday coat, 
Bo diddley caught a bear cat, 
To make his pretty baby a sunday hat.

Mojo come to my house, ya black cat bone, 
Take my baby away from home, 
Ugly ole mojo, where ya bin, 
Up your house, and gone again. 

Bo diddley, bo diddley have you heard? 
My pretty baby said she wasn't for it.
