Chas & Dave - Diddlum song

^C7(slow Arpeggio)

N.C.

Now here's a little ^Ftale, that I've got ^C7for you, About ^C7something that happened to me a couple of months a^Fgo. Now let me tell you all a^Fbout it, now I don't wanna ^C7bore you, Well ^C7what's it all about, well it all started out 'Cos I ^C7turned on the radi^Fo.

Well it's all about a ^Ftune, that I heard one ^C7morning. It was a ^C7record some DJ played as I laid in ^Fbed, I didn't hear what he ^Fsaid, as I laid there ^C7yawning, But be^C7fore too long that ^C7catchy little song was going round and round my ^Fhead. And it went,

^BbDi di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do ^BbBi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly bumma ^F-day, Diddly-i-di, dippy-i, diddly-bumma di-do, ^Fwhoop diddly umma dumma, diddle bumma ^Bbday Woah, ^Bbdiddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, ^Bbdiddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, ^Bbdiddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-^Ebday ^FDee-dum biddly-bo, di-dum a di-do ^FWhoop diddly whoop whoop diddly bumma ^Bbday

^C7Well I jumped out of ^Fbed, pulled on my ^C7trousers, With the ^C7tune on my mind all the time going round my ^Fhead, Jumped in my ^Fcar, drove round and round the ^C7houses, 'Till I ^C7found a record shop, so I ^C7stopped at the shop, parked ^C7up, popped in, and ^Fsaid,

"Have you heard this ^Fsong?" I asked the girl behind the ^C7counter, I can ^C7hum a line or two, that's all I can do now ^Fmiss. I don't know what's it ^Fcalled, but I bet you're ^C7bound to, it ^C7must be a hit, but the ^C7only little bit I ^C7know goes like ^Fthis, And it goes,

^BbDi di diddlybum, diddlybum-a-di-do ^BbBi diddly-umma-dumma, diddly bumma ^F-day, Diddly-i-di, dippy-i, diddly-bumma di-do, ^Fwhoop diddly umma dumma, diddle bumma ^Bbday Woah, ^Bbdiddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, ^Bbdiddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, diddly-bumma, ^Bbdiddly-bumma, diddly-bumma-^Ebday ^FDee-dum biddly-bo, di-dum a di-do ^FWhoop diddly whoop whoop diddly bumma ^Bbday

^C7Well the girl couldn't ^Fhelp, she needed more infor^C7mation, So I ^C7rung up the DJ, but he said the ^Fsame. so I asked the bloke next ^Fdoor, and all of my re^C7lations, But they ^C7couldn't help at all, no^C7body could recall this ^C7tune going around my ^Fbrain.

^Fshort, they all said I hadn't ^C7heard of it, Every^C7body I asked never knew what I was talking a^Fbout, And it's driving me ^Fbarmy, I can't think of a ^C7word of it, the ^C7only bit I know, I'll ^C7sing before I go and ^C7perhaps you could help me ^Fout. And it goes
