[Intro: John Lennon]
One and a-two and a-one, two, three, four!
Alright!

[Verse 1]
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah
Up came a butcher with her jujus alight, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna

[Verse 2]
Felt like a bohunk, but I kept up my cool, ah-hah-hah
Green as a frog, man, I was back into school, ah-hah-hah
Zipped up my mouth 'cause I was startin' to drool, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna

[Chorus]
Get it up!
Get it up!
Get it up!
Get it up!

[Verse 3]
She said she loved me, but I knew she was lyin', ah-hah-hah
Felt like an arab who was dancin' through Zion, ah-hah-hah
Don't call no doctor when you just feel like cryin', ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight vienna

[Chorus]
Get it up! (Keep it up)
Get it up! (Keep it up)
Get it up! (Keep it up)
Get it up! (Keep it up)

[Verse 1]
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah
Up came a butcher with his needles in sight, ah-hah-hah
It's all down to goodnight Vienna

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
