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 Diddley
here he comes again;
here comes Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley
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
Ok 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 doesn’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 falks, get outta our way
Rome, London and Tokyo
time to rock it and go go go
Ok 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 Diddley
here he comes again;
here comes Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley
