Double O Bo

[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
