Lyrics
Never Heard Of The Beatles
She's a mover and shaker in the financial sector
The youngest ever co director
Such heady fame but oh what a shame
She's never heard of the Beatles
He's a real good kid, sharp as a knife
Brings sunshine into everyone's lives
He keeps me sane but oh what a shame
He's never heard of the Beatles
Chorus
Is it a sign of growing old
When you're increasingly told
"Who's George, Paul, Ringo and John ?"
What I would implore
Is that the story of the Fab Four
Is taught in school from now on
Verse
He's the alpha male at the local zoo
Other lions do what he tells them to do
Got a magnificent mane, but oh what a shame
He's never heard of the Beatles
Chorus
Is it a sign of growing old
When you're increasingly told
"Who's George, Paul, Ringo and John ?"
What I would implore
Is that the story of the Fab Four
Is taught in school from now on
Bridge
These 4 guys ruled the world
They were as famous as could be
Nowadays I'm amazed
No one's heard of "Please Please Me"
Verse
He's the fearsome leader of the Arua tribe
He wears a jaguar and a puma hide
He's never been tamed but oh what a shame
He's never heard of the Beatles.
Chorus
Is it a sign of growing old
When you're increasingly told
"Who's George, Paul, Ringo and John ?"
What I would implore
Is that the story of the Fab Four
Is taught in school from now on
