The sky it was orange
The trees they were there
There were oceans of people going somewhere
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
It was just like a painting
A day at the fair
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
He sang a song for those
Who don’t have a prayer
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
There were heroes and villians
Paupers and theives
There were preachers from TV
Who rolled up their sleeves
There was much dirty laundry
In need of repair
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
There were hipsters and pop stars
And posers galore
The kind of a day
Politicians adore
A blind man was laughing
Asleep on the stair
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
The Salvation Army was lost in the fog
The emperor of ice cream was walking his dog
The members of congress were chained to a chair
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
The arms of the infants were raised in the air
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
There are millions of people
Who will swear they were there
The day I saw Bo Diddley in Washington Square
