Here come the one string diddley bo
And this here song is called
Yeah, you guessed it
Diddley bo!

Diddley bo!
Diddley bo!

Take the wire off an old broom
On the side of your house got to find a room
Get two cans and a couple of nails
Hook up the wire and you’re ready to sail
Come on now

With only one string you can’t go wrong
So go ahead and make yourself a song
Make it kinda funky everybody gonna know
You got yourself a diddley bo

Diddley bo, diddley bo all the time
Lord, have mercy gonna have a good time
Diddley bo, diddley bo all the time
Lord, have mercy gonna have a good time
Come on

If you want one just like mine
You need a two by four and a little bit of time
Decorate it up and you’re ready to go
You got yourself a diddley bo

Diddley bo, diddley bo all the time
Lord, have mercy gonna have a good time
Diddley bo, diddley bo all the time
Lord, have mercy gonna have a good time
Diddley bo, diddley bo all the time
Lord, have mercy gonna have a good time
Diddley bo, diddley bo all the time
Lord, have mercy gonna have a good time

Diddley bo, diddley bo…
