Run Diddley DaddyI was down in the jungle picking wild beansSomething jumped up that I never before seen I picked up my bag and I tried to make a getaway Chances did I heard somebody say Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run, ahoo Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run I was running so fast that I didn't even leave a track Whatever it is caught me snatched the shirt offa my back Running through the jungle was such a breeze Till I shook all the leaves off the bamboo trees Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run, yahoo Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run, ahoo Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run I was running through the jungle with a terrible breeze I tripped over a stump and I hurt my knees When the people in the village they saw me running They didn't know what was going on, they thought things were awfully funny But I said Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run, ahoo Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run I was running so fast that I didn't even say goodbye Sprouted wings on my feet and I began to fly Flew so far away from that land Found myself straddled on a United airplane Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run, ahoo Run run run, Diddley Daddy Run run run |
