What do you think these guys <br />Doin' our..our material?&quot;<br />Jerome said, &quot;Uh, where's the bar, man? Please show me to the bar...&quot;<br />He turned around the Duchess <br />And he said, &quot;Hey Duchess...what do you think of these young guys <br />Doin' our material?&quot;<br />She said, &quot;I don't know. I only came across here <br />To see the changin' of the guards and all that jazz.&quot;<br />Well, Bo Diddley looked up and said to me,<br />With half closed eyes and a smile,<br />He said &quot;Man,&quot; took off his glasses, <br />He said, &quot;Man, that sure is the biggest load of rubbish <br />I ever heard in my life...&quot;<br />Hey Bo Diddley<br />Oh Bo Diddley<br />Yeah Bo Diddley<br />Oh Bo Diddley<br />Yeah Bo Diddley
