"Do Wah Diddy Diddy"
There she was just a-walkin' down the street
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down 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 down diddy-do
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down 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 were falling in love
yes I did, and so I told her all the things
that I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together her nearly every single day
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy and that how we're gonna stay
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers, I'M HERS
she's mine, SHE'S MINE
I'm hers, she's mine
wedding bells are gonna chime
Wo-o-o-oh, I knew we were falling in love
yes I did, and so I told her all the things
that I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're togther nearly every single day
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
We're so happy and that how we're gonna stay
singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
I'm hers, I'M HERS
she's mine, SHE'S MINE
I'm hers, she's mine
wedding bells are gonna chime
Singin' do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
do-wah diddy-diddy down diddy-do
Is this it!?!?

Manhattan Transfer - "BOY FROM NEW YORK CITY" lyrics 1965
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooo wah, ooo wah c'mon kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's kind of tall
He's really fine
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
He swept me off my feet
Ooo whee, you ought to come and see
How he walks
And how he talks
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
He's really down
And he's no clown
He has the finest penthouse I've ever seen in town
And he's cute
In his mohair suit
And he keeps his pockets full of spending loot
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see
His dueling scar
And brand new car
Every time he says he loves me
Chills run down my spine
Every time he wants to kiss me
He makes me feel so fine
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Well he can dance
(He can dance, take a chance with a little ro-)
And make romance
(mance baby, cause he's a looker)
That's when I feel in love
With just one glance
(He's sweet talking and cool)
He was shy
And so was I
And now I know I'll never, ever say goodbye
Ooo whee, say you ought to come and see
He's the most
From coast to coast
Ooo wah, ooo wah cool, cool kitty
Tell us about the boy from New York City
Ooo wah, ooo wah c'mon kitty

Manhattan Transfer recorded "Boy From New York City" in 1981 and had a big pop hit - making the top 10 and winning a Grammy for it!. Most of us who are 50 and under are probably more familiar with Manhattan Transfer's cover than the Ad Libs' original recording!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
