The Animals - The Story of Bo Diddley слова песни




Now lets hear the story of Bo DiddleyAnd the Rock n Roll scene in generalBo Diddley was born Ellis McDanielsIn a place called McCoom, Missississipi about 1926He moved to Chicago about 1938Where his name was eventually changed to Bo DiddleyHe practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night Till his papa`s hair began to turn whiteHis Pa said "Son, listen hear, I know You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go"So he pulled his hat down over his eyes Headed out for them Western SkiesI think Bob Dylan said thatHe hit New York CityHe began to play at the Apollo in HarlemGood scene there everybody ravingOne day, one night, came a Cadillac with four head lightsCame a man with a big, long, fat, cigar said, "C`mere son, I`m gonna make you a star"Bo Diddley said, "Uh..whats in it for me?"Man said, "Shut your mouth son, play the guitar and you just wait and see"Well, that boy made it, he made it real big And so did the rest of the rock n roll scene along with himAnd a white guy named Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm He changed it into hand-jive and it went like thisIn a little old country town one dayA little old country band began to playAdd two guirtars and a beat up saxophoneWhen the drummer said, boy, those cats begin to roamOh baby oh we oh ohOoh la la that rock and rollYa hear me oh we oh oh Ooh la la that rock and rollThen in the U.S. music scene there was big changes madeDue to circumstances beyond our control such as payolaThe rock n roll scene died after two years of solid rockAnd you got discs like, ah...Take good care of my babyPlease don`t ever make her blue and so forthAbout, ah, one year later in a place called Liverpool in EnglandFour young lads with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like, ah...It`s been a hard days night and I`ve been working like a dog and so onIn a place called Richmond in Surrey, whay down in the deep southThey got guys with long hair down their back singingI wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah and all that jazzNow we`ve doing this number, Bo Diddley, for quite some time nowBo Diddley visited this country last yearWe were playing at the Club A Gogo in Newcastle, our home townThe doors opened one night and to our surprise W alked in the man himself, Bo DiddleyAlong with him was Jerome Green, his maraca man, And the Duchess, his gorgeous sisterAnd a we were doing this number Along with them came the Rolling Stones, the Mersey Beats, They`re all standing around diggin` itAnd I overheard Bo Diddley talkin`He turned around to Jermone Green And he said, "Hey, Jerome? What do you think these guys Doin` our..our material?"Jerome said, "Uh, where`s the bar, man? Please show me to the bar..."He turned around the Duchess And he said, "Hey Duchess...what do you think of these young guys Doin` our material?"She said, "I don`t know. I only came across here To see the changin` of the guards and all that jazz."Well, Bo Diddley looked up and said to me,With half closed eyes and a smile,He said "Man," took off his glasses, He said, "Man, that sure is the biggest load of rubbish I ever heard in my life..."Hey Bo DiddleyOh Bo DiddleyYeah Bo DiddleyOh Bo DiddleyYeah Bo Diddley
