[Verse 1] When I was young and pretty I lived in the city I quit my day job 'cause I was going all the way Most I play alone now In a basement on my own now And there's a parking lot where my band used to play [Chorus] I still want to be a Beatle I want to be respected I want to be protected whenever I get off my plane I want to make money Impress you honey But right now I just get older every day [Verse 2] When I was young and handsome Thought I'd make a king's ransom And I'd sit there on my island by the bay And I would throw parties Invite the Monkeys And hear poems red by Lawrence Ferlinghetti [Chorus] I want to be a Beatle I want to be molested I want to be protected by some great big guy in braids I want to drive fast cars Pretend to smoke cigars But reality keeps getting in my way.... Ah well [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] All these would-be rock stars Playing in the sushi bars The coffee houses and the restaurants today They just don't understand About all these boy and girl bands And to me they sound like Abba anyway [Chorus] I still want to be a Beatle I want to be inducted... Into the Hall with Bob Dylan and Stevie Ray... I want to shake my pelvis Just like Elvis But right now it would take major surgery And I want to be a Beatle I want to be respected I want to be expected whenever I get off my plane [Outro] Gonna hear my song now It won't be long now But all my friends well they all think that I'm insane Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
