'With a Little Help from My Friends'
['With a Little Help from My Friends'
[Really] written by [Lennon & the late McCartney?]
[Really] performed by ['Faul'/'Billy' in the style of Ringo?]
From 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' LP 1967
Lyrics:
(Billy Shears.)
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm, going to try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm, going to try with a little help from my friends
(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love
(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh, I'm going to try with a little help from my friends
(Do you need anybody?)
I just need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, going to try with a little help from my friends
Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

Back Off Boogaloo
Apple 1949 Mar. 20, 1972
Ringo Starr/Richard Starkey
Lyrics:
Go!
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo, boo.
Back off boogaloo,
What d'yer think i'm gonna do?
I got a flash right from the start.
Wake up, meathead,
Don't pretend that you are dead,
Get yourself up off the cart.
Get yourself together now
And give me something tasty.
Ev'rything you try to do,
You know it sure sounds wasted.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo.
You think you're a groove,
Standing there in your wallpaper shoes
And your socks that match your eyes.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.
Get yourself together now
And give me something tasty.
Ev'rything you try to do,
You know it sure sounds wasted.
Back off boogaloo,
What d'yer think i'm gonna do?
I got a flash right from the start.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.
Back, ba-ba-ba-back!
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.
Back, back, ba-ba-back, come on!
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.
Back off boogaloo,
I said, back off boogaloo,
Come on, back off boogaloo, boo.

I'm the Greatest
written by Lennon
lead vocals by Ringo
with performers Lennon, Harrison, Voorman
from album 'Ringo,' Apple SWAL-3413 Oct. 31, 1973
Lyrics:
When I was a little boy,
Way back home in Liverpool,
My mama told me, I was great.
Then when I was a teenager,
I knew that I had got something going,
All my friends told me I was great.
And now I'm a man,
A woman took me by the hand,
And you know what she told me... I was great.
I was in the greatest show on earth,
For what it was worth.
Now I'm only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo!
Hey!
I looked in the mirror,
I saw my wife and kids,
And you know what they told me... I was great.
Yes, my name is Billy Shears,
You know it has been for so many years.
Now I'm only thirty-two; [LAUGHTER]
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo [LAUGHTER]
Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah!
(hey, hey, hey)
I'm the greatest and you better believe it, baby!
Ho! ho! ho!
I'm gonna be the greatest in this world, (ho!)
In the next world and in any world! (hey!)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right!

Back off, Boogaloo,
Back off, Boogaloo,
I said, back off, Boogaloo, boo.
Back off, Boogaloo,

Back off, Boogaloo, back off, Boogaloo,

(Sad because you're on your own?)

(I can show you but I know it's mine)
Get yourself together now, easy. (red foxes going forever)
(whoa!)
