[Verse 1] I saw you standing by the record machine A London girl like I’ve never seen I left my crown back in Tennessee To see if you’d share a spot of tea with me [Verse 2] The papers say that the times have changed The radio sounds a little bit strange I’m trading my velvet for a suit and a tie To catch the look in your Liverpool eye [Chorus] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m feeling brand new Crossing the ocean just to be with you Don’t be cruel to a boy from the South With a British melody in his mouth [Verse 3] I walked down Abbey Road in the rain Trying to forget my Memphis name The boys in the band started playing the beat And I felt the rhythm move my swinging feet [Verse 4] From the Cavern Club to the bright marquee It’s a long way home across the sea But if I can sing with a bit of a lilt I’ll rebuild the palace that the rhythm built [Verse 5] So hold my hand and we’ll fly away To a brand new town for a brand new day I’m the King of the Hill in a mod-style coat Keeping my rock and roll dreams afloat [Chorus - Callback] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m feeling brand new (I saw you standing by the record machine) Crossing the ocean just to be with you (A London girl like I’ve never seen) Don’t be cruel to a boy from the South With a British melody in his mouth [Outro] [Jangly 12-string guitar flourish] [Vocal "Whooooo!"] [End on a bright major chord]
