Ringo Starr/Richard Starkey MBE b. July 7, 1940


Lives on a farm, got plenty of 
charm, beep, beep.
He's got no cows but he's sure got 
  a whole lotta sheep.
And brand new wife and a family,
And when he comes to town,
I wonder if he'll play with me.

Laying in bed, watching tv, cookie!
With his mama by his side, she's japanese.
They scream and they cried, now they're free,
And when he comes to town,
I know he's gonna play with me.

He's a long-haired, cross-legged 
guitar picker, um-um.
With his long-legged lady in the garden 
  picking daisies for his soup.
A forty acre house he doesn't see,
'Cause he's always in town
Playing for you with me.

I play guitar, a - d - e.
I don't play bass 'causethat's too hard for me.
I play the piano only if it's in c.
And when i go to town i wanna see all three.
