Lyrics
Verse 1
February sixty-four the Ed Sullivan stage
Seventy-three million watching hearts turn the page
But we started younger in a Cavern club cave
Mersey rhythm running through the streets we gave
Pre-Chorus
Before the screaming crowds and the newsreel glow
We were two boys on a Liverpool road
Chorus
Oh the early days
We were making it up as we go
Oh the early days
Nobody told us no
We were playing every night
Chasing every light
Oh the early days
Post-Chorus
La la la la
La la la la
Verse 2
November sixty-three the Royal Variety show
Packed the Prince of Wales and let the whole world know
The radio waves were calling out across the pond
From the Hamburg cellar to the handle of a song
Pre-Chorus
Before the world got heavy and the suits moved in
We were just a couple of friends
Chorus
Oh the early days
We were making it up as we go
Oh the early days
Nobody told us no
We were playing every night
Chasing every light
Oh the early days
Post-Chorus
La la la la
La la la la
Bridge
Two writing hands on a notepad page
Scratching out a rhythm from a mind of rage
Melodies and madness in a rented room
We conjured up our magic from a borrowed tune
Verse 3
Sixty-two in EMI with a single cut
Love Me Do spinning out of the Camden hut
Tape reels turning round in the Abbey lane
We were four young men shaking off the chain
Pre-Chorus
Before the rooftops fell and the plastic suits
We were playing honest roots
Chorus
Oh the early days
We were making it up as we go
Oh the early days
Nobody told us no
We were playing every night
Chasing every light
Oh the early days
Post-Chorus
La la la la
La la la la
Final Chorus
Oh the early days
Making it up as we go
Oh the early days
Nobody told us no
Nodody no
Nobody told us no
