Little Queenie (Live in Germany)The Beatles

Songwriter: Chuck Berry

[Intro: Paul McCartney]
Good evening, sir, how are you?

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There she is again
Standing over by the record machine
Yeah, she's lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Meanwhile, I was thinking
She's in the mood, no need to break it
I got the chance, I oughta take it
If she'll dance, then we can make it
Come on, Queenie, let's shake it

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Go, go, go, little Queenie
Go, go, go, little Queenie
I said, Go, go, go, little Queenie
Ahh, go, go, go, go!

[Guitar Solo: George Harrison]

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Well, there she is a-dancin'
Over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
Yeah, she's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Meanwhile, well, she's thinkin'
If it's a slow song, we'll omit it
If it's a rocker, I'm gonna get it
And if it's good, she'll admit it
Said, c'mon queenie, Ahh

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Queenie, Go! Go, go, queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Ahh!

[Guitar Solo: George Harrison]

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
Well, there she is a-dancin'
Over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
Well, she's too cute to be a minute over seventeen

[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Meanwhile, I was still thinkin'
She's in the mood, no need to break it
I got the chance, I oughta take it
If she'll dance, then we can make it
Come on, Queenie, let's shake it

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Ahh, Go! Go, go, Queenie
Go, go, go, little Queenie
Go, go, go, little Queenie
Ahh!
Qo, Queenie, go!
Go little Queenie!
Go, go, go, little Queenie!

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
