Manfred Mann - Do Wah Diddy Diddy Lyrics

There she was just a-walking down the street, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Snapping her fingers and shuffling her feet, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"

She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine) She looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind

Before I knew it she was walking next to me, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Holding my hand just as natural as can be, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"

We walked on (walked on) to my door (my door) We walked on to my door, then we kissed a little more

Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreaming of

Now we're together nearly every single day, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"

Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine) I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime

Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreaming of

Now we're together nearly every single day, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singing "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"

Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine) I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, we'll sing it

Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
