Chaz N' Dave Lyrics
"Diddlum Song"

Now here's a little tale, that I've got for you,
About something that happened to me a couple of months ago,
Now let me tell you all about it, now I don't wanna bore you,
Well what's it all about, well it all started out
when I turned on the radio.

Well it's all about a tune, that I heard one morning.
It was a record some DJ played as I laid in bed,
I didn't hear what he said, as I laid there yawning,
But before too long,
that catchy little song was going round and round my head,
And it went,

Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly umma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-i dimma-dumma di-do, whoop diddly-umma-dumma diddly umma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma,
diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum diddly-bo, be-dum be-di-do
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddly-bumma-day.

Well I jumped out of bed, pulled on my trousers,
With the tune on my mind all the time going round my head,
Jumped in my car, drove round and round the houses,
'Till I found a record shop,
so I stopped at the shop, parked up, popped in, and said:

Have you heard this song? I asked the girl behind the counter,
I can hum a line or two, that's all I can do now miss,
I don't know what's it called, but I bet you're bound to,
Well it must be a hit, but the only little bit I know of it goes like this,

And it goes,

Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly umma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-i dimma-dumma di-do, whoop diddly-umma-dumma diddly umma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma,
diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum diddly-bo, be-dum be-di-do
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddly-bumma-day.

Well the girl couldn't help, she needed more information,
So we rung up the DJ, but he said the same,
I asked the bloke next door, and all of my relations,
But they couldn't help at all,
nobody could recall this tune going around my brain.

To cut a long story short, they all said "I haven't heard of it",
Everybody I asked never knew what I was talking about,
And it's driving me barmy, I can't think of a word of it,
The only bit I know, I'll sing before I go
and perhaps you could help me out.

And it goes,

Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly umma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-i dimma-dumma di-do, whoop diddly-umma-dumma diddly umma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma,
diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum diddly-bo, be-dum be-di-do
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddly-bumma-day.

And it goes... (final chorus)

Di di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do
Bi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly umma-day
Diddly-i-di diddly-i dimma-dumma di-do, whoop diddly-umma-dumma diddly umma-day
Woah, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma,
diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-day
Dee-dum diddly-bo, be-dum be-di-do
Whoop whoop whoop whoop diddle-bumma-di-do,
Diddle-iddle-i-dum Boo-dum diddlybum
Whoop diddly whoop whoop diddly-bumma-day.
