Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bo Diddley was a private eye Hand was fast and his I.Q. high D.A. said "Double O, you won't last Slow down boy, you living too fast" [Verse 2] Well, Double O had a Cadillac Machine guns and a bullet-proof back Engine taken from a 707 Sounds like a sure way of getting to heaven [Verse 3] In his pocket, 5 pounds of lead To keep Bo Diddley from getting dead Another thing had Bo keeping alive Was a snub-nosed, Smith And Wesson, Colt 45 Yeah [Verse 4] Well, Bo drank gallons of rye and bourbon Martini's dry, and you better serve them Martini so dry, the shaker burst Bo keeled on his side and died of thirst
