Run Diddley Daddy

Bo Diddley

[Verse 1]
I was down in the jungle picking wild beans
Something jumped up that I never before seen
I picked up my bag and I tried to make a getaway
Chances did I heard somebody say

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run

[Verse 2]
I was running so fast that I didn't even leave a track
Whatever it is caught me, snatched the shirt off of my back
Running through the jungle was such a breeze
'Til I shook all the leaves off the bamboo trees

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run

[Verse 3]
I was running through the jungle with a terrible breeze
I tripped over a stump and I hurt my knees
When the people in the village they saw me running
They didn't know what was going on, they thought things were awfully funny

[Chorus]
But I said run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run

[Verse 4]
I run out so fast that I didn't even say goodbye
Sprouted wings on my feet and I began, began to fly
Flew so far away from that land
Found myself straddled on a United airplane

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run

[Chorus]
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, Diddley Daddy
Run, run, run
