John, my friend
And the band, you sang
Wrote the songs that helped to ease the pain
Where’d you think up all those hook lines
That so completely captured those times?
Ah, John, my friend
You were the best by far
Because you danced
And you danced
And you danced
’Cross the silver screen
And you sang
And you sang
And you sang
In your submarine
Fred and Ginger
Paul, George, and Ringo too
Those days are gone
But I’ll remember you (Ooh, la-la-la)
And so everything you did is still alive today
And though I’m late, there’s something I should say
Thank you for the times you gave me
Thank you for the tears you saved me
Please take this song as my thanks to you
Because you danced
And you danced
And you danced
’Cross the silver screen
And you sang
And you sang
And you sang
In your submarine
Fred and Ginger
Paul, George, and Ringo too
Those days are gone
But I’ll remember you (Ooh, la-la-la)
So everything you did is still alive today
And though I’m late, there’s something I must say
Oh, thank you for the times you gave me
And thank you for the tears you saved me
Please take this song as my thanks to you
Fred and Ginger
John and Paul
George and Ringo
And all
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember
I’ll remember
I’ll remember you
