BO DIDDLEY ~ SAY MAN


This is, to me, musical heaven. 

Just enjoy.

The incomparable Bo Diddley works his magic.

I DARE you to not smile at least once. 




BO DIDDLEY ~ SAY MAN

Say man, what's that boy? I want to tell you 'bout your girlfriend

What about my girl?

Well, you don't look strong enough to take the message

I'm strong enough I might hurt your feelings

My feelings are already hurt by being here with you

Well, I was walking down the street with your girl the other day 


Ah, ha 


And the wind was blowin' real hard

Is that right?

And the wind blew her hair into my face 


Ah, ha 


You know what else happened?

What happened? 

The wind blew her hair into her face

Yeah?

And we went a little further, you wanna hear the rest of it?

I might as well

The wind blew her hair into the street

Okay, since you told me about my girl I'm gonna tell you about yours

I was walking down the street with your girl

Yes?

I took her home, for a drink, you know

Took her home?

Yeah, jus' for a drink 

Oh

But that chick looked so ugly She had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water

You've got the nerve to call somebody ugly

Why, you so ugly, the stork That brought you in the world oughta be arrested

That's alright, my momma didn't have to put a sheet On my head so sleep could slip up on me

Look a here

What's that?

Where are you from?

South America

What's that?

South America

You don't look like no South American to me

I'm still from South America

What part?

South Texas

Where are your workin' boots at?

I've got 'em on

There aren't no boots you got on, those broguettes

Hey, look a here

What's that?

I've bin tryin' to figure out what you is

I already figured out what you is

What's that?

You that thing I throw peanuts at

Look a here

What's that?

You should be ashamed of yourself

Why?

Calling people ugly

I didn't call you ugly

What you say?

I said you was ruined, that's all

You know somethin'?

What?

You look like you've bin whooped with a ugly stick

Hey, I ain't got nothin' to do with it but I beat the fellah, right

  1. One of my faves. But I gotta correct that last line. At the end, a third voice comes in and says

    "Hey, I ain't got nothin' to do with it but I believe the fella's right."
