[Chorus][x2]
Looked at the sky, what did I see?
I saw someone looking at me
And I'm down and out, down and out
Well, I'm down, so down, down and out

[Bridge]
Alright, Gary!

[Chorus][x2]

Ringo Starr

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.
