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
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
Wo-o-o-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
We're so happy and that 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 ohh
Singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
