Runnin' for the dance hall, lightnin' speed
Lookin' for my baby, wonder was she dead?
Run on the stage, started to do my dance
Wait a minute, baby, won't you give me a chance?

Jumped on the stage and started jumpin' around
Couple more lessons and I'll have it down
Get back, baby and wait for your turn
This dance take a lotta time to learn

Left foot out and the right one behind
Couple more lessons and you'll have it on time
Dance all night and dance all day
Strict little girl wouldn't let me get away

Run out the dance hall, I was goin' around the world
Tried to get away from that dancin' girl
Holler, Bo Diddley, wait for me
I was so tired, I couldn't see
