	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 Bo Diddley
	Yeah Bo Diddley
	Oh Bo Diddley
	Yeah Bo Diddley
