Lyrics:
There he was just walking
Down the street, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)

Popping his fingers
And shuffling his feet, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)

He looked good (yeah, yeah)
He looked fine (yes, he did)
He looked good, he looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind

Before I knew it he was
Walking next to me, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)

He took my hand just as
Natural as can be, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)

We walked on (yeah, yeah)
To my door (sure did)
We walked on to my door
Then he said a little more

(My, my, my, my)
My, my, I knew
We were falling in love
(My, my, my, my)
My, my, I told him all
The things I was dreaming of

Now we're together
Nearly every single day, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And we're so happy and that's
How we're gonna stay, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)
Oh, yeah

Well, I'm his (yeah, yeah)
And he's mine (yes, he is)
Well, I'm his and he's mine
And the wedding bells will chime

Now we're together
Nearly every single day, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)

We're so happy and that's
How we're gonna stay, singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, I'm his (yeah, yeah)
He's mine (yes he is)
Well, I'm his, he's mine
And the wedding bells will chime

Singing
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)
Baby, come on, yeah
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)

Can't you see us
Walking down the aisle, yeah
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)
We're gonna be so happy, yeah
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)

Every day now
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)
I'm gonna love him so much
(Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do)
Yeah, yeah, cause he's mine...
