[Intro]
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na)

[Verse 1]
Stand over me
Look out for me
Help me write this song for you
If you split me
Don't you take too long
Just get thee gone

[Chorus]
This be called a song
This be called a song
This be called a song
Song

[Verse 2]
Let your umbrella
Be your friend
Pitch a tent in your mind for me
It's all for you
It's just the road that i need
Behind it's just a sign

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na
(na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-)

[Verse 3]
It's getting closer every day
And we got to see it through this time
Is the time to find out if it's true
What i've said to you

[Chorus][2x]

[Outro]
This be called a song, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
This be called a song

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.
