There Was a Boy Who Like Me Loved The Beatles And The Rolling Stones

Jerry Adriani

C'era Um Ragazzo Che Come Me Amava i Beatles i Rolling Stones

C'era un ragazzo che come me
Amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones
Girava il mondo veniva da
Gli stati uniti d'america
Non era bello ma accanto a se
Aveva mille donne se
Cantava help, ticket to ride
O Lady Jane o Yesterday

Cantava viva la libertà
Ma ricevette una lettera
La sua chitarra mi regalò
Fu richiamato in america
Stop! coi Rolling Stones
Stop! coi Beatles stop
Gli han detto vai nel Viet-nam
E spara ai Viet-cong

Rattatatata, rattatatata, rattatatata
Rattatatata, rattatatata

C'era un ragazzo che come me
Amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones
Girava il mondo ma poi finì
A far la guerra nel Viet-nam
Capelli lunghi non porta più
Non suona la chitarra ma
Uno strumento che sempre dà

La stessa nota rattattata
Non ha più amici
Non ha più fans
Vede la gente cadere giù
Nel suo paese
Non tornerà
Adesso è morto nel Viet-nam

Stop coi Rolling Stones, stop coi Beatles stop
Nel petto un cuore più non ha
Ma due medaglie o tre

Rattatatata, rattatatatarattata
Rattatatata, rattatatata

There Was a Boy Who Like Me Loved The Beatles And The Rolling Stones

There was a boy like me
He loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
He traveled the world, he came from
The United States of America
He wasn't handsome, but by his side
He had a thousand women
He sang Help, Ticket to Ride
Or Lady Jane or Yesterday

He sang Long Live Freedom
But he received a letter
He gave me his guitar
He was called back to America
Stop! With the Rolling Stones
Stop! Stop with the Beatles
They told him to go to Vietnam
And shoot the Viet Cong

Rattatatata, rattatatata, rattatatata
Rattatatata, rattatatata

There was a boy like me
He loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones
He traveled the world but then he ended up
Waging war in Vietnam
He no longer wears long hair
He doesn't play the guitar but
An instrument that always gives

The same rattattata note
He no longer has friends
He no longer has fans
He sees people fall down
In his country
He won't come back
Now he's dead in Vietnam

Stop with the Rolling Stones, stop with the Beatles stop
He no longer has a heart in his chest
But two medals or three

Rattatatata, rattatatatarattata
Rattatatata, rattatatata
