John, Paul, George and Ringo's Us Stand
(to the tune of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)
It was 50 years ago today
That the Beatles had the chance to play
On Ed Sullivan’s iconic show –
Can it really be so long ago?
So now it’s time to reminisce
About that night of teenage bliss –
John, Paul, George & Ringo’s U.S. stand.
‘Twas John, Paul, George & Ringo’s Beatles band
Who crossed the pond to say hello.
John, Paul, George & Ringo’s Beatles band –
The audience did overflow.
John, Paul, George & Ringo
With their British lingo;
Would we love them? Bingo!
Oh, how so!
Felt wonderful to watch them.
Oh man, it was a thrill
To be a teenage girl back then.
It was the highlight of my life
And it’s remembered still.
I can’t really get it down in rhyme
But if you experienced that time
Then you’ll know exactly what I feel,
What the clippings simply can’t reveal.
So let us pause to celebrate
Ed Sullivan, ‘cause on this date
On his stage we watched that Beatles band…
