Versuri - t - The Animals - Story Of Bo Diddley

			
			
Now lets hear the story of Bo Diddley and the Rock
n Roll scene in general

Bo Diddley was born Elias 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 guitars 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 lads 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
