 Johnny was a schoolboy,

when he heard his first Beatles song.

Love Me Do, I think it was,

and from there it didn't take him long.

Got himself a guitar,

        G          A
used to play every night

              E      
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

and everything's alright.

Mama came to the door,

with a teardrop in her eye.

smile and wave goodbye".
