Lyrics for Run Diddley Daddy - Alternate Take
I was down in the jungle, pickin' wild beans Somethin' jumped up that I'd never before seen I picked up my bag and I tried to make a getaway Just then I heard somebody say Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, ow Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run I was runnin' so fast that I didn't even leave a track Whatever it is caught me snatched the shirt off of my back Runnin' through the jungle with such a breeze That I shook all the leaves off of the bamboo trees Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, yahoo Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, uh-huh-huh-huh Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run I was runnin' through the jungle with a terrible breeze I tripped over a stump and I hurt my knee When the people in the village they saw me runnin' They didn't know what was goin' on They thought things was awfully funny but I said Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, wow Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, ow I run out so fast I didn't even say goodbye Spotted wings on my feet and I began to fly Flew so far away from that land Found myself straddlin' a United airplane Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, yeah, ha ha Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run, uh-huh-huh Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run Run, run, run, little daddy Run, run, run
