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; |
|
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! |
