Best & Worst of Times

I've seen 'em come, I've seen em go But none as big as John Paul George & Ringo The biggest names, people you know The stars of stage screen & the radio And I was lucky, lucky, lucky to be there at all Trying to remember, just what there is to tell They say that if you'd been there, you'd be vague as well Smoking it down, to the cigarette stub It was just amazing who was there in that club Free and Speakeasy at the Music biz hub And there's no doubt in my mind they were the best & worst of Times And I can honestly say, I wish they'd never gone away In the years around 1969, We were floating out on Cloud Nine Just four young guys, we were quite naive In the music business, with no tricks up our sleeves When John was a phone call away, And we were all on an Apple a day Sure didn't seem to keep the Doctor away And there's no doubt in my mind they were the best & worst of times And I can honestly say, I wish they'd never gone away And though we're just passing through, you know the music lingers on And anytime you feel blue, you can sing a Northern song Oh No, you should have seen the coke go When I sang with John, Paul, George & Ringo Didn't know that she was so rude Till the session where I sang on Hey Jude What a night what a story to tell, Even though I shouted effing Hell John & George on guitars, Paul on Bass, & we sang Na Na Na Na's And there's no doubt in my mind they were the best & worst of Times And I can honestly say, It's such a drag they passed away And though we're just passing through, you know the music lingers on And anytime you feel blue, you can sing a Northern song
