lyrics

Bo (Tell me what’cha know)

We used to dream ‘bout a house in flames
And a big bad wolf with a foreign name
We used to fear all the creaking sounds
And the ghost of Cain whom we never found

Oh Bo
Oh Bo, Tell me what’cha know!...

We used to bite our nails and toes (Oh! That hurt!)
When the fog lifted or when it rose
We used to wait for the voodoo child
To haunt us till the morning light

Oh Bo
Oh Bo, Tell me what’cha know!...

Anxieties are clingers
They won’t die by any sword
They hover and they linger
On the same old tired chord
The scares we slowly gather
They moan but never bend
The “maybes” and the “rathers”
Mean “Diddley” in the end! (Yeah! Yeah!)

We used to think that the mummy’s lair
Was in the backyard but it wasn’t there (Where? Where?)
We used to smile ‘bout childhood fears
But they’re lurking in our atmosphere

Oh Bo
Oh Bo, Tell me what’cha know!...

Anxieties are clingers
They won’t die by any sword
They hover and they linger
On the same old tired chord
The scares we slowly gather
They moan but never bend
The “maybes” and the “rathers”
Mean “Diddley” in the end! (Yeah! Yeah!)

Bo Diddley ‘s gonna sing a song
And Boo Radley‘s gonna sing along…

Bo Diddley Diddley Ding
Radley Radley Run!!
