: : There is a song tittled like this by British musician, Nick Lowe.
: : But what does it mean, Bo Bo Skediddle ???

: : The lyrics go like this;

: : They holler Bo Bo
: : While they wait here in line

: : Bo Bo Skediddle
: : Watch him go
: : with a hitty bitty witty ditty
: : Round the floor

: Skiddaddle (or skeddaddle) is a slang term meaning 'leave in a hurry'. Not sure if this is still in common use although I still use it (in the UK).

"Skedaddle" has the same meaning in U.S. slang.
