Hi Bo, (well) my name is Ed

hope i don't drag you out of bed

I'm italian and i love the blues

(I) wrote a tune, wanna sing it with you

hey boy, hold on just a minute

if you got a song and you want me to sing it

let me hear what my manager say

call you back later on today



Hey, here he comes, here comes Bo Diddley, Bo...

here he comes again; here comes Bo Diddley, Bo...


Now Bo that you checked me out

wanna know what the song's about?

basic blues, you can do your thing

make it rock Bo 'cause you're the king


O.k. Eddy let's get down to it

kick the backbeat and really do it

Memphis to Milan was a long way to come

but i'm always ready to have some fun

it don't matter if you (like) punk or funk or be bop too

just get down (and) into the sound of "bad" italian blues


Get ready, hit the road today

watch out folks, get outta our way

Rome, London and Tokyo

time to rock it and go go go

o.k. Bo, let's get down to it

kick the backbeat and really do it

Milan to Memphis, is a long way to go

but i'd love to come, join you for a show


Hey, here he comes, here comes Bo Diddley, Bo...

here he comes again; here comes Bo Diddley, Bo..
