The man said Uh, shut your mouth son and play the guitar and you just wait and see Well, Bo 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 called Johnny Otis took Bo Diddley's rhythm And changed into hand jive And it went like this: In a little old country town one day A little old country man begin to play Had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone When the drummer said ??? those cats begin to ??? Oh baby, oooo we oh oh Oooo la la that rock 'n roll You hear me, oooo we oh oh Oooo la la that rock 'n roll Then 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 You got discs like, uh: Take good care of my baby Please don't ever make her blue And so forth About, uh, one year later In a place called Liverpool in England Uh, four young guys with mop haircuts Begin to sing stuff like, uh: It's been a hard day's night And I've been workin' like a dog And so on A place called Richmond in Surrey Way down in the deep south Where the guys had long hair down their backs sang: I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man, yeah And all that jazz Well we been doin' this number Bo Diddley for quite some time now Bo Diddley visited this country last year And we were playin' the Club A-Go-Go in Newcastle, our home town And the doors opened one night And to our surprise in walked the man himself, Bo Diddley Along with him was, uh, Jerome Green, his maraca man And the Dutchess, his gorgeous sister Now we're doin', uh, we're doin' this number Along with them came Rolling Stones and The Mersey Beats They're all standin' around diggin' it And I overheard Bo Diddley talkin' He turned around to Jerome Green, he said Hey Jerome.

What do you think of these young guys doin' our material? She said ah, I don't know. I only came across here to see the changin' of the guards and all that jazz. But Bo Diddley looked up at me and he said, uh With half-closed eyes and a smile He said Man. Took off his glasses.
