There’s a place at the top of the charts (Merseybeat Mix)

merseybeat, 1960s beat music, pop rock

Verse 
We were sitting around without a clue and then we heard a song called Love me do. 
It blew our minds, what an original sound. 
And our new life’s purpose was suddenly found.

Pre chorus 
We quit our jobs at the docks and dropped out of art school.  
There ain’t much else to do in Liverpool . 
We bought some guitars and amps and started playing the pubs. 
And all the teen dances and the dirty clubs.

Chorus
There’s a place for us at the top of the charts. 
We’ll be number one when Beatlemania starts. 
This Mersey sound is totally gear. 
We’re gonna be the greatest thing since sliced toast. 
Were headed for the toppermost of the poppermost.

We call ourselves the moths. 
We’re a skiffle band with a rocking beat. 
When we play you won’t be able to keep your seat. We play loud and we play fast. 
Get your mothballs out if you want your hearing to last.

I play a Rickenbacker three twenty five Capri. 
It was a gift from my aunt Mimi. 
Playing gigs in Hamburg made our band tight. 
We would love to rock your socks off every 
night.

Bridge
There are many other groups we know. 
But they don’t put on a very good show. 
I played a concert with a toilet seat around my neck. It got some laughs so what the heck.

Verse 
We opened for the Beatles and a group called 
the Swallows. 
We think we are a tough act for anyone to follow. The girls all yell and scream for the Beatles. 
It’s almost like walking on pins and needles.

When you hear we are performing please 
come to our show. We’ll soon be on Ready Steady Go. Our manager is a man named Brian Epstein. He made us shave our faces now we 
look real clean.
