And our friends are all aboard...

I know, I KNOW, but the last post is too, too sad, so just read this. So in 71, post break-up, in the middle of the whole song war between John and Paul where they were just writing these horrible lyrics about each other, Ringo came out with this song (George plays on it, which explains the words). Read the lyrics, it does NOT get cuter-each verse is about a Beatle (Paul's is a little sketch but NOT mean, especially considering what was going on at the time). Ok, check it out:

"Early 1970", by Richard Starkey

Lives on a farm, got plenty of charm, beep, beep.

He's got no cows but he's sure got a whole lotta sheep.

And brand new wife and a family,

And when he comes to town,I wonder if he'll play with me.

Laying in bed, watching tv, cookie!

With his mama by his side, she's japanese.

They scream and they cried, now they're free,

And when he comes to town,

I know he's gonna play with me.

He's a long-haired, cross-legged guitar picker, um-um.

With his long-legged lady in the garden picking daisies for his soup.

A forty acre house he doesn't see,

'Cause he's always in town

Playing for you with me.

I play guitar, a - d - e.

I don't play bass 'cause that's too hard for me.

I play the piano if it's in c.

And when i go to town i wanna see all three,

And when i go to town i wanna see all three,

And when i go to town i wanna see all three.
