Ringo Starr

Released: August 6, 2002

[Verse 1]
They're going to put me in the movies
They're going to make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I got to do is act naturally

[Chorus]
Well, I'll bet you I'm going to be a big star
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
The movies going to make me a big star
Because I can play the part so well
Well I hope you'll come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I got to do is act naturally

[Verse 2]
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part and I won't need rehearsing
All I got to do is act naturally

[Chorus]

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.
