If I were a Beatle
I’d probably be the bald one
with the poems
and the American accent
who lived a lot later than the other blokes
and was probably a bit less popular.

If I were a Beatle
I doubt I’d get as many songs per album
as John or Paul
but maybe I’d tie with George
and maybe I could work with Ol’ Ritchie
to increase his productivity.

Maybe I could work out more stuff like Flying
or Cry for a Shadow
where the collaborations got crazy,
and the Beatles just twisted expectations, baby!
Maybe I could do that for them.

Yeah, if I was a Beatle
I could shake them up
get them back to their fundaments
return them from whence they came.

I’d be happy to do all that
if I was a Beatle.
