[Verse 1]
I got a line and you got a pole
Let's go fishin' at the craw-dad hole
What you gonna do when the creek run dry?
Just sit on the bank when your craw-dad die

[Hook]
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley

[Verse 2]
Here come a man with a sack on his back
Oh, them craw-dads really did pack
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9
Ain't none of his craw-dads big as mine

[Hook]
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley

[Verse 3]
One day I was sittin' out on the front
When a crayfish come by on the run
Somebody chasin' him with a net
But I got the news, didn't catch him yet
[Hook]
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley

[Outro]
About that, craw-dad baby
Let's do the craw-dad
Oh, touch the craw-dad
