Testi-musica-canzoni.it > Testi lettera T > The Animals > Miscellaneous - The Story of Bo DiddleyNow lets hear the story of Bo Diddley
 And the Rock n Roll scene in general
 Bo Diddley was born Ellis McDaniels
 In a place called McCoom, Missississipi about 1926
 He moved to Chicago about 1938
 Where his name was eventually changed to Bo Diddley
 He practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night 
 Till his papa's hair began to turn white
 His 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 Skies
 I think Bob Dylan said that
 He hit New York City
 He began to play at the Apollo in Harlem
 Good scene there everybody raving
 One day, one night, came a Cadillac with four head lights
 Came 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 him
 And a white guy named Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm 
 He changed it into hand-jive and it went like this
 In a little old country town one day
 A little old country band began to play
 Add two guirtars and a beat up saxophone
 When the drummer said, boy, those cats begin to roam
 Oh baby oh we oh oh
 Ooh la la that rock and roll
 Ya hear me oh we oh oh 
 Ooh la la that rock and roll
 Then in 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
 And you got discs like, ah...
 Take good care of my baby
 Please don't ever make her blue and so forth
 About, ah, one year later in a place called Liverpool in England
 Four 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 on
 In a place called Richmond in Surrey, whay down in the deep south
 They got guys with long hair down their back singing
 I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah and all that jazz
 Now we've doing this number, Bo Diddley, for quite some time now
 Bo Diddley visited this country last year
 We were playing at the Club A Gogo in Newcastle, our home town
 The doors opened one night and to our surprise 
 W alked in the man himself, Bo Diddley
 Along with him was Jerome Green, his maraca man, 
 And the Duchess, his gorgeous sister
 And a we were doing this number 
 Along with them came the Rolling Stones, the Mersey Beats, 
 They're all standing around diggin' it
 And 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 Diddley
 Oh Bo Diddley
 Yeah Bo Diddley
 Oh Bo Diddley
 Yeah Bo Diddley
