Lyrics
Fab Five - The Beatles Would Have Dug Me
This song is for my buddies John Paul George Martin and Ringo
Cause I bet that we'd be buddies if they only got to know me
And the same with Elton John, the Jackson Five, Elvis Costello
Yeah I'm destined for celebrity I'm really off the meter
And my style is so my own I'm so original and brilliant
So how come no one's begging me to take their million dollars? Yeah it's really gonna bug me.
Cause the Beatles would have dug me.
Yeah they dug Harry Nilsson when he wasn't even famous
And that was for his early stuff which no one ever heard of
And those songs are nothing special, they're just weird.
Well I'M weird. Can't you tell? My style is really just the same as
Harry Nilsson. And I'm writing songs that no one ever heard of
And I'm not asking everyone to tell me I'm the greatest or to stand in line to hug me
But the Beatles would have dug me.
It's just like my friend Lionel said. The world is ruled by programmers
And rips of hip hop drum beats used in last week's pop confection. And the
Hip hop players stole them from Detroit.
Well I write songs like Billy Joel, so sue me, I'm so out of touch
My songs have more than just a riff and two chords so I'll never sell.
But I don't care. I'll just sit here and write my brilliant lyrics while my little children tug me.
Hey, the Beatles would have dug me.
