Lyrics

By john lennon

When I was a little boy
Way back home in liverpool
My mama told me, I was great

Then when I was a teenager
I knew that I had got something going
All my friends told me I was great

And now I'm a man
A woman took me by the hand
And you know what she told me...i was great

I was in the greatest show on earth
For what it was worth
Now I'm only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo!

Hey!

I looked in the mirror
I saw my wife and kids
And you know what they told me...i was great

Yes, my name is billy shears
You know it has been for so many years
Now I'm only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo!

Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah!

(Hey, hey, hey)

I'm the greatest and you better believe it, baby!

Ho! ho! ho!

I'm gonna be the greatest in this world, (ho!)
In the next world and in any world! (hey!)

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right!
