Four lads from a merseyside Love playing songs and getting high They never knew what one day they'd be From the cavern club on Matthew Street To playing Hamburg in Germany Times were different back in 1960 They sang songs about Penny Lane Strawberry fields and yesterday And even one about a yellow submarine But the Beatles will always be The lads from down the road to me From down the road to me Matching hair and cheeky smiles Everywhere they went the crowds went wild The Scouse charm was as good as can be The Fab Four on the top of the chart With crazy suits on Sgt Pepper's lonely hearts And poor old Eleanor Rigby They sang songs about Penny Lane Strawberry fields and yesterday And even one about a yellow submarine But the Beatles will always be The lads from down the road to me From down the road to me The biggest band this world has seen Were from down the road to me She's got a ticket to ride To love me doing hard days night And all they had to do was act naturally Hey Jude I wanna hold your hand And something about a nowhere man They'd sing them eight days a week Songs about Penny Lane Strawberry fields and yesterday And even one about a yellow submarine But the Beatles will always be The lads from down the road to me From down the road to me The biggest band this world has seen Were from down the road to me John Lennon and Richard Starkey George Harrison and Paul McCartney Will always be From down the road to me
