[Verse 1]
There's a great big mystery
And it sure is worrying me
This Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means

[Verse 2]
The little girl about four feet four
Come on papa and give me some more
Of your Diddie Wa Diddie, your Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means

[Verse 3]
I went out and walked around
Somebody yelled, said "Look who's in town"
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means

[Verse 4]
Went to church, put my hat on the seat
Lady sat on it said, "Daddy, you sure is sweet"
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means

[Verse 5]
I said, "Sister, I'll soon be gone
Just gimme that thing you sitting on"
My Diddie Wa Diddie, My Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
[Verse 6]
Then I got put out of church
'Cause I talk about Diddie Wa Diddie too much
Mister Diddie Wa Diddie, Mister Diddie Wa Diddie
I wish somebody would tell me what Diddie Wa Diddie means
