LYRICS:
They say he came from the wrong side of town
"When I grow up to be a man,
He met three boys along the way
Pretty soon people came from miles around
and everyone laughed when he came around
but ain't nobody gonna put him down not Ringo (Ringo).
I'm gonna be the drummer of a famous band
and play as good as anyone can," said Ringo. (Ringo)
But they laughed and said,
"if you want fame the first thing you better do
is change your name."
But he laughed and said "Thanks just the same but its Ringo."
and they sang along with him one day
and right then and there they knew they'd stay with Ringo.
They worked like dogs from night til dawn
hopin' some day that they'd catch on.
Good lookin' Paul, and George, and John and Ringo. (Ringo)
He sat up there in the drummer's place
that likable boy with a smile on his face.
No one could drum or kick that bass like Ringo (Ringo)
to hear them sing in London town.
The Beatles had made it with that Liverpool sound and Ringo.
And they cheered and cheered for John and Paul
while George was up there havin' a ball
but the one that they liked most of all was Ringo.
He never changed though he traveled far
and around the world he became a star
cause the girls said "we like you just
the way that you are our Ringo." (Ringo)
