Bo Diddley was a private eye
Hand was fast and his IQ high
DA said "Double O you won't last
Slow down boy, you livin' too fast"
Well Double O had a Cadillac
Machine guns and a bullet-proof pack
Engine taken from a 707
Sounds like showed the way to heaven
In his pocket, 5 pounds of lead
Skipped Bo Diddley from getting dead
Only thing that held Bo keeping alive
Was a snuff no sweating Wesson Colt 45
Well Bo drank gallons of rye and bourbon
"Martini is dry, and you better serve them"
Martini so dry the shaker burst
Bo k**ed on his sight, and died at first
