Lyrics
There she was just a-walkin’ down the street, singin’
‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
Snappin’ her fingers and shufflin’ her feet, singin’
‘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 walkin’ next to me, singin’
‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
Holdin’ my hand just as natural as can be, singin’
‘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 dreamin’ of
Now we’re together nearly every single day, singin’
‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
A-we’re so happy, and that’s how we’re gonna stay, singin’
‘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 dreamin’ of
Now we’re together nearly every single day, singin’
‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
A-we’re so happy, and that’s how we’re gonna stay, singin’
‘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
