You say you could fall in love with Elvis
You say you like to hear The Beatles sing
Wait a minute, wait a minute pretty baby
I wanna tell ya just one little thing now
Oh, well your love for Elvis Presley
Wouldn't last very, very long
You'd get sick and tired of watching him
Wiggling passed your door
It's true that The Beatles they can talk and walk
You'd get sick and tired of hearing them
Talk that talk
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me, oh yeah
Oh, you now say you can marry Ringo
With his hair hanging his face
Ph, but honey that will never happen
He couldn't find the wedding place
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me
Oh yeah, it's true that you may get an autograph
You might even get one of them to smile your way
But remember when it comes down to marriage
You'll never, never, never, never see that wedding day
Now, the only thing you will ever be
To Ricky, is just a fan
You'll never get to squeeze him 'cause
He's a traveling man
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me
Oh, oh, it's true that you may get an autograph
Yeah, you might even get one of them to smile your way
But remember, when it comes down the marriage, marriage, marriage baby
You'll never, never, never, never see that wedding day
The only thing you'll ever be
To Ricky, is just a fan
You'll never get to squeeze him 'cause
He's a traveling man
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me
It wouldn't happen with me, oh no, not me
Oh not me, baby, it would not happen with me baby
Yeah, yeah it wouldn't happen with me baby
Hey, hey baby, it wouldn't happen with me
