By John Lennon

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 MEI 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 MEI WAS GREAT
YES, MY NAME IS BILLY SHEARS,
YOU KNOW IT HAS BEEN FOR SO MANY YEARS
NOW I'M ONLY THIRTY-TWO;
AND ALL I WANNA DO, IS BOOGALOO!
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!
