What are the lyrics to Max Boyce I was there?

I Was There

(Max Boyce)

I went to see the Beatles, on a wet cold Wednesday night

I was standing in the wings as they came on in sight

I watched the boys assemble, and prepare to play their parts

I remember just one little thing, I was right there from the start

I was there when they were fab

I was there when they were young and so carefree

I was there when they were lads, the four lads from Liverpool

I was there, I swear I was

There was George with quiet smile, with his guitar in hand

And Ringo there upon the drums, ready for the big demand

There was Paul with bass guitar and John with long blond hair

I remember just one little thing, I was right there from the start

I was there when they were fab

I was there when they were young and so carefree

I was there when they were lads, the four lads from Liverpool

I was there, I swear I was

I remember so clearly, when they went on Ed Sullivan

I saw it on the telly in a pub I thought they ran

All the girls had gone crazy, oh they just went wild with joy

I remember just one little thing, I was right there with the boy

I was there when they were fab

I was there when they were young and so carefree

I was there when they were lads, the four lads from Liverpool

I was there, I swear I was

I was there when they appeared, on the rooftop in the square

All the lads were gathered round, with not one person there

Oh they really were terrific, as they sang with all their might

I remember just one little thing, I was right there with the band on the rooftop in the square

I was there, I swear I was

I was there when they were fab

I was there when they were young and so carefree

I was there when they were lads, the four lads from Liverpool

I was there, I swear I was

It was twenty years on after, and I was feeling sentimental

I heard a sound so recognisable, and it turned me confidential

I found myself a record shop, just around the corner there

I remember just one little thing, I bought With the Beatles everywhere

You'll recall a song called Please Please Me

How Do You Do It, and Love Me Do

When he sang the words to Misery

I just had to go and buy

Yes I was there when they were fab

I was there when they were young and so carefree

I was there when they were lads, the four lads from Liverpool

I was there, I swear I was
