Lyrics

Could be a spoon full of diamonds

Could be a spoon full of gold

Could be a little spoon of your precious love

Sweet enough for my soul

People lying over that

Some crying over that

Some dying about that

Everybody fighting about a spoonful

Of that spoon, that spoon

That spoon

Of that spoon, that spoon

That spoon

Of that spoon, that spoon

That spoon

(Woop, let me tell you something)

Now you don't know nothing about that spoonful, Muddy

(I sing any blues I wanna sing)

You don't know nothing about that spoonful

(Just watch me)

Well go ahead and let me see what you're doing

(Of that spoon)

Could be a spoonful full of diamonds

Could be a spoonful full of gold

(Hey, go ahead, Muddy)

Take a lot of loving

To satisfy my soul

People lying about that spoonful

People dying about that spoonful

(all over the world)

Everybody crazy about a spoonful

Of that spoon

That spoon

That spoon

Of that spoon

That spoon

(Hey Woop, uncle Woop

Uncle Woop)

Hey, let go, Bo Diddley, let go, Diddley

You don't know nothing about that spoonful

(I, I, I just wanted to)

You and Muddy Water, out of here

Y'all don't know nothing about it

(I know all about it, but Bo Diddley don't know)

(Uncle Woop, will you tell me some more about it)?

Yeah

(Go ahead, I wanna hear you)

Could be a spoon full of diamonds (yeah)

It could be a spoon full of that gold

Could be a little spoon of that precious love

Sweet enough for my soul

People lying over that

Some crying about that

(All over the world, Uncle Woop)

Some dying over that

Everybody fighting about a spoonful

Of that spoon

That spoon

That spoon

Of that spoon

That spoon

That spoon

(Bo Diddley don't know nothing about it, Woop, but I do)

Now sing it, Bo Diddley

Go ahead, then

(Let me tell you something, Muddy)

Could be a slice of cake

Could be a slice of pie

Whenever I miss my loving

You know I wished I would die

People dying about that

People lying about that spoon

(All over the world)

Of that spoon, that spoon

That spoonful

Of that spoon, that spoon

That spoonful

Now look, Muddy, let me get it straight

(What you want, Woop)?

Could be a spoonful of diamonds

It might be a spoonful of gold

Could be a little spoon of your precious love

Sweet enough for my soul

People lying over that

Some crying about that

Some dying about that spoonful

Some crying over that spoonful

Everybody fighting over a spoonful

Of that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Of that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Of that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Of that spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
