Some like it hot, some like it cold
Everybody likes it if it rocks and rolls
But it's gotta do some rollin'
It's gotta do some rockin'
It's gotta get the cats to a-bippety-boppin'
Everybody likes it, so I'm told
Some like it hot and some like it cold
Hey Miss Music Teacher
You gotta quit bein' a square
If you want us cats to reach ya
You gotta trim your long-long hair
Some like it hot, some like it cold
Everybody likes it if it go-go-goes
But it's gotta do some goin'
It's gotta do some gettin'
It's gotta get the kittens to really hep cattin'
Everybody likes it, so I'm told
Some like it hot and some like it cold

Some like it hot, some like it cold
Everybody likes it if it rocks and rolls
But it's gotta do some rollin'
It's gotta do some rockin'
It's gotta get the cats to a-bippety-boppin'
Everybody likes it, so I'm told
Some like it hot and some like it cold
We heard Bo Diddley playin'
Diddley-daddley soft and low
You can hear all the cats a-sayin'
Go Bo, go Bo, go ho-ho-ho
Some like it hot, some like it cold
Everybody likes it if it go-go-goes
But it's gotta do some goin'
It's gotta do some gettin'
It's gotta get the kittens to really hep cattin'
Everybody likes it, so I'm told
Some like it hot and some like it cold
