David Lindley - Pay Bo Diddley текст песни

Bo Diddley had him a rockin' big time,
but he never made a solitary dime.
Ya'll might laugh but it just ain't funny,
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money ?

The record man gave him a rag-top car,
said, "Bo, you gonna be a rock 'n roll star.
He didn't know he doing anything wrong,
when he signed away all of his songs.

Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Round the world in a station wagon,
workin' the road till his tail was a draggin'
rockin' and a puffin' and makin' 'em dance,
but never once seeing that cash advance.

Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money ? 4x

Call the FBI, call the IRS, call the BMI, call Leonard Chess.
You know, Bo Diddley never saw enough,
from "I'm a Man" and "Who Do You Love ?".
They just ain't cheatin' some rock 'n roll singer,
remember Bo Diddley is a gun slinger.

Pay Bo Diddley. 4x

That's right.
Pay Bo Diddley.
and Pay Little Richard, too.
While you're at it.

Pay Bo Diddley.
and Little Richard, too
