About With a Little Help from My Friends

"With a Little Help from My Friends" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and sung by drummer Ringo Starr, his lead vocal for the album. As the second track on the album, it segues from the applause of the title track. A subsequent recording of the track by Joe Cocker became a hit single in 1968 and an anthem for the Woodstock era. In 1978, the Beatles' recording, paired with "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", was reissued as a single, and peaked at number 63 in Britain and number 71 in the United States. Starr has regularly performed the song in concert as a solo artist. "With a Little Help from My Friends" was ranked number 311 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. more »

Okay, another one of those songs you all know and love and you all know
The words so I want to hear you
Louder than the band this time, okay?

Yeah!
I said louder than the band this time, okay?
Yeah! Thank you! Ha! Ha!

Pretty frightening when you do that!
What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away?

How do I feel at the end of the day?
(are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I'm get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Good night!
