You Can't Judge a Book

 by Bo Diddley

 

 You can't judge an apple by lookin' at the tree

 You can't judge honey by lookin' at the bee

 You can't judge a daughter by lookin' at the mother

 You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

 

 Oh, can't you see -- whoa, you've misjudged me

 I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

 You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

 

 ( Aww, come on in here closer baby, hear what else I got to say --

 You got your radio turned down too low -- turn it up! )

 

 You can't judge sugar by lookin' at the cane

 You can't judge a woman by lookin' at her man

 You can't judge a sister by lookin' at her brother

 You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

 

 Oh, can't you see -- whoa, you've misjudged me

 I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

 You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

 

 Aw, how am I doin', baby?

 

 You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond

 You can't judge right from lookin' at the wrong

 You can't judge one by lookin' at the other

 

 Oh, can't you see -- whoa, you've misjudged me

 I look like a farmer but I'm a lover

 You can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover
