Lyrics The Story of Bo Diddley - The Animals
Now
lets
hear
the
story
of
Bo
Diddley
And
the
Rock
n
Roll
scene
in
general
Bo
Diddley
was
born
Ellis
McDaniels
In
a
place
called
McCoom,
Missississipi
about
1926
He
moved
to
Chicago
about
1938
Where
his
name
was
eventually
changed
to
Bo
Diddley
He
practiced
the
guitar
everyday
and
sometimes
into
the
night
Till
his
papa′s
hair
began
to
turn
white
His
Pa
said
"Son,
listen
hear,
I
know
You
can
stay
but
that
guitar
has
just
gotta
go"
So
he
pulled
his
hat
down
over
his
eyes
Headed
out
for
them
Western
Skies
I
think
Bob
Dylan
said
that,
he
hit
New
York
City
He
began
to
play
at
the
Apollo
in
Harlem
Good
scene
there,
everybody
raving
One
day,
one
night,
came
a
Cadillac
with
four
head
lights
Came
a
man
with
a
big,
long,
fat,
cigar
said,
"C'mere
son,
I′m
gonna
make
you
a
star"
Bo
Diddley
said,
"Uh.whats
in
it
for
me?"
Man
said,
"Shut
your
mouth
son,
Play
the
guitar
and
you
just
wait
and
see"
Well,
that
boy
made
it,
he
made
it
real
big
And
so
did
the
rest
of
the
rock
n
roll
scene
along
with
him
And
a
white
guy
named
Johnny
Otis
took
Bo
Diddleys
rhythm
He
changed
it
into
hand-jive
and
it
went
like
this
In
a
little
old
country
town
one
day
A
little
old
country
band
began
to
play
Add
two
guirtars
and
a
beat
up
saxophone
When
the
drummer
said,
boy,
those
cats
begin
to
roam
Oh
baby
oh
we
oh
oh
Ooh
la
la
that
rock
and
roll
Ya
hear
me
oh
we
oh
oh
Ooh
la
la
that
rock
and
roll
Then
in
the
U.S.
music
scene
there
was
big
changes
made
Due
to
circumstances
beyond
our
control
such
as
payola
The
rock
n
roll
scene
died
after
two
years
of
solid
rock
And
you
got
discs
like,
ah...
Take
good
care
of
my
baby
Please
don't
ever
make
her
blue
and
so
forth
About,
ah,
one
year
later
in
a
place
called
Liverpool
in
England
Four
young
guys
with
mop
haircuts
began
to
sing
stuff
like,
ah...
It's
been
a
hard
days
night
and
I′ve
been
working
like
a
dog
and
so
on
In
a
place
called
Richmond
in
Surrey,
whay
down
in
the
deep
south
They
got
guys
with
long
hair
down
their
back
singing
I
wanna
be
your
lover
baby
I
wanna
be
your
man
yeah
and
all
that
jazz
Now
we′ve
doing
this
number,
Bo
Diddley,
for
quite
some
time
now
Bo
Diddley
visited
this
country
last
year
We
were
playing
at
the
Club
A
Gogo
in
Newcastle,
our
home
town
The
doors
opened
one
night
and
to
our
surprise
Walked
in
the
man
himself,
Bo
Diddley
Along
with
him
was
Jerome
Green,
his
maraca
man,
And
the
Duchess,
his
gorgeous
sister
And
a
we
were
doing
this
number
Along
with
them
came
the
Rolling
Stones,
the
Mersey
Beats,
They're
all
standing
around
diggin′
it
And
I
overheard
Bo
Diddley
talkin'
He
turned
around
to
Jermone
Green
And
he
said,
"Hey,
Jerome?
What
do
you
think
these
guys
Doin′
our.our
material?"
Jerome
said,
"Uh,
where's
the
bar,
man?
Please
show
me
to
the
bar..."
He
turned
around
the
Duchess
And
he
said,
"Hey
Duchess...
what
do
you
think
of
these
young
guys
Doin′
our
material?"
She
said,
"I
don't
know.
I
only
came
across
here
To
see
the
changin'
of
the
guards
and
all
that
jazz."
Well,
Bo
Diddley
looked
up
and
said
to
me,
With
half
closed
eyes
and
a
smile,
He
said
"Man,"
took
off
his
glasses,
He
said,
"Man,
that
sure
is
the
biggest
load
of
rubbish
I
ever
heard
in
my
life..."
Hey
Bo
Diddley
Oh

Diddley
Yeah
Bo
Diddley
Oh
Bo
Diddley
Yeah

Diddley
