A BEATLE SONG

(Words & Music © 1977)

Entertainers have a hard time deciding how to play for a crowd

Is the music just right, or is it too soft, or maybe it’s too loud

Is the mike just right, or is it too low, or maybe it’s too high

Well, I’ll sing what I like right into the mike cause the music’s gonna get me by

Because you can’t go wrong with a Beatle song

You hold your own with the Rolling Stones

You get a happy noise with the Beach Boys

You put your soul into rock and roll

And if you’re looking to please everybody you know, if you’re looking to please all the people

Give them the Beatles

So give them Yesterday and She Loves You

Don’t Let Me Down or baby I’ll Get You

Think for Yourself cause I’m Looking Through You

So please Help me girl and just Love Me Do, Just Love Me Do

I walk in a daze like I’m in a maze, it’s time for me to take the floor

It’s a long long minute when I’m the one in it, I wish I were taking the door

Is the crowd concerned or am I gonna be burned no matter how hard I try

Well, I’ll sing what I like right into the mike cause the music’s gonna get me by

Because you can’t go wrong …

Oh, Darling Julia, I Wanna Be Your Man

Martha, My Dear, I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Hey, Jude, I Got a Feeling for you

Michelle, my belle, I Love You Too, I Love You Too

Sometimes onstage I get so afraid I forget just what I had planned

I swallow my tongue and then I lose my guns, I can’t even find my hands

There’s a guy in the crowd who’s talking so loud so I swallow and I sigh

And then I sing what I like right into the mike cause the music’s gonna get me by

Because you can’t go wrong …

I’ve had A Hard Day’s Night so won’t you Hold Me Tight

We Can Work It Out before we say Goodnight

Don’t Ask Me Why but Please Please Me

Be my Honey Pie and then let’s Let It Be, let’s Let It Be

So if you’ve a gripe about the music I write I won’t keep you very long

I’ll do my bit and at the end of it sing you a Beatle song

I’ll sing their hits for your, I’ll sing their misses too, and if you ask me why

I’ll say I sing what I like right into the mike cause the music’s gonna get me by

Because you can’t go wrong …
