[Verse 1]
Going to tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John
He claim he has the misery but he has a lot of fun

[Chorus]
Oh baby
Ye-e-e-eh baby
Woo-o-o-oh baby
Having me some fun tonight

[Verse 2]
Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-head Sally
He saw Aunt Mary coming
And he ducked back in the alley

[Chorus]
Oh baby
Ye-e-e-eh baby
Woo-o-o-oh baby
Having me some fun tonight
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, long tall Sally, she’s built for speed
She got everything that Uncle John need

[Chorus]
Oh baby
Ye-e-e-eh baby
Woo-o-o-oh baby
Having me some fun
Ahh!

[Guitar Solo]

[Post-Chorus]
We're going to have some fun tonight
Going to have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's alright
Have some fun
Have me some fun tonight

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.
