Double O Bo lyrics

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"

Well, Double O had a Cadillac

Machine guns and a bullet-proof back

Engine taken from a 707

Sounds like a sure way to get into heaven

In his pocket, 5 pounds of lead

Keep Bo Diddley from getting dead

Another thing helped Bo keeping alive

Was a snub-nosed, Smith And Wesson, Colt 45

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
