INTRO:
it was 20 years ago today…
“sergeant pepper” taught the band to play…
they’ve been going in and out of style…
but they’re guaranteed to raise a smile…
so may i introduce to you…
the act you’ve known for all these years…
“sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts club band!”
CHORUS:
we’re “sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts club band”
we hope you will enjoy the show…
we’re “sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts club band”
sit back and let the evening go…
sergeant pepper’s lonely…sergeant pepper’s lonely…
“Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”
it’s wonderful to be here…
it’s certainly a thrill…
you’re such a lovely audience…
we’d like to take you home with us…
we’d love to take you home…
OUTRO:
i don’t really want to stop the show…
but i thought that you might like to know…
that the singer’s going to sing a song…
and he wants you all to sing along…
so let me introduce to you…
the one and only “Billy Shears”!
((and) “sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts club band!”)
“bil…ly…shears!”
(then humbly out steps “good ole ringo”)
(tiptoeing to the microphone)
(like he did to his drumset during the “hey jude” recording session)
(and entering at the perfect time)
(john and paul taking pleasure in humiliating ringo by putting him front n center)
(until george steps in to defend his fellow “junior beatle”)
(even though ringo was the oldest beatle)
