Run Diddley Daddy

I was down in the jungle picking wild beans

Something jumped up that I never before seen

I picked up my bag and I tried to make a getaway

Chances did I heard somebody say

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

I was running so fast that I didn't even leave a track

Whatever it is caught me snatched the shirt off of my back

Running through the jungle was such a breeze

Till I shook all the leaves off the bamboo trees

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

I was running through the jungle with a terrible breeze

I tripped over a stump and I hurt my knees

When the people in the village they saw me running

They didn't know what was going on, they thought things were awfully funny but I said

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

I was running so fast that I didn't even say goodbye

Sprouted wings on my feet and I began to fly

Flew so far away from that land

Found myself straddled on a United airplane

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run

Run run run, Diddley Daddy

Run run run
