[Verse 1]
Running for the dance hall, lightning speed
Looking for my baby, wonder where she did
Run on the stage, start to do my dance
What a minute, baby, won't you give me a chance?

[Verse 2]
Jumped on the stage and started jumping around
Couple more lessons and I'll have it down
Get back, baby and wait for your turn
This dance it take a lotta time to learn

[Verse 3]
Left foot out and the right one behind
Couple more lessons, you'll have it on style
Dance all night, dance all day
Said, little girl wouldn't let me get away

[Verse 4]
Run out the dance hall, I was going around the world
Tried to get away from that dancing girl
Holler, Bo Diddley, wait for me
I was so tired, I couldn't see
