Hey Diddle Diddle - Dion, G.E. Smith

Cat’s been a-wailing by my back door

I say don’t come around here no more

Cat come to say he wants what’s inside

I said I’d take him for a long, long ride

Hey diddle diddle, won’t you turn it round?

Hey diddle diddle, better get outta town

Hey diddle diddle, that’s all you got

Hey diddle diddle, well you don’t know squat

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let him get inside your head

Lay down and make his bed

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Cat got a fiddle, played a ral sad song

Cat told my woman that I done wrong

Cat come inside with a crazy tun

Cat said he’d send my lady over the moon

Hey diddle diddle, won’t you turn it round?

Hey diddle diddle, better get outta town

Hey diddle diddle, that’s all you got

Hey diddle diddle, man, you don’t know squat

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let him get inside your head

Lay down and make his bed

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Cat caterwauling and it’s no joke

I stepped outside to have a myself a smoke

Next thing I know I heard that door lock

Next thing I know I heard that cat talk

Hey diddle diddle, won’t you turn it round?

Hey diddle diddle, better get outta town

Hey diddle diddle, that’s all you got

Hey diddle diddle, man, you don’t know squat

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let him get inside your head

Lay down and make his bed

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let him get inside your head

Lay down and make his bed

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Don’t let him get inside your head

Lay down and make his bed

Don’t let the woke cat rock ya

Come on, I said the woke cat

Skat!

The woke cat

Skat!

I said, the woke cat

Skat!

I said, the woke cat

Skat!
