Bo Diddley Bo Diddley have you heard Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird If that mockingbird don't sing Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring And if that diamond ring don't shine Papa's gonna take it to a private eye If that private eye can't see He'd better not take no ring from me Hey Bo Diddley (echo) Hey Bo Diddley (echo) ...OR... Hush little baby don't say a word Daddy's gonna buy you a Thunderbird If you don't like that type of car Your daddy's gonna buy you a Jay-goo-arr If that Jay-goo-arr won't do Daddy's gonna buy you a Ferrari, too If that Ferrari isn't your choice Daddy's gonna buy you a new Rolls Royce If you don't like the Rolls, we'd better have a talk 'Cause after that baby you can damn well walk The first one is from my days as a blues musician, the second is from my childhood.
