Song Lyrics - Do Wah Diddy Diddy

There she was just a walkin' down the street singin'
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Snappin' her fingers and a 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.

Oh, I knew we was fallin' in love.
Yes I did so I told her all the things I've been dreamin' of.

Now we're so happy nearly every single day singin'
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
We're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do

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

Oh, I knew we was fallin' in love.
Yes I did so I told her all the things I've been dreamin' of.

Now we're together nearly every single day singin',
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
We're so happy and that's how it's gonna stay singin',
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do

Well I'm hers (I'm hers) And she's mine (she's mine)
Well I'm hers and she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime.
Oh...Oh yeah
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do (We're singin)
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
