Bo Diddley Bo Diddley was playing on the radio

Was a long hot summer time many years ago

When I met my flower child and I first took her home

Then Bo Diddley Bo Diddley was the soundtrack to my soul

They say that time has gone

But it still keeps me warm in the cold

I fell in love when I saw your sparkling eyes

I said pretty baby come on place your hand in mine

She said I would if I could but I aint ever seen your smile

I know your a blues man but I like my men alive

I told you I'd be there every day and every night

I promised to love you and never cheat or fight

I saved all my loving till I found the one who's right

Just to make sure she understood I gave a smile that was eight miles wide

Bo Diddley Bo Diddley was playing on the radio

Was a long hot summer time many years ago

When I met my flower child and I first took her home

Then Bo Diddley Bo Diddley was the soundtrack to my soul

They say that time has gone

But it still keeps me warm in the cold

We managed to find work and put a roof over our heads

Put bread on the table and wine at the weekend

Sometimes we got drunk, sometimes we got stoned

That spirit of freedom is easy when you're young

Now we've travelled the road of time we should be old and wise

But that's an attitude that we've come to despise

You've gotta keep your mind and wits you've gotta keep it razor sharp

Never try to be logical over matters of the heart

Was a long hot summer time many years ago

When I met my flower child and I first took her home

Then Bo Diddley Bo Diddley was the soundtrack to my soul
