Era Um Garoto Que Como Eu Amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones

There was a boy
Who, like me,
Loved the Beatles
And the Rolling Stones..

He spun the world
Always singing
The beautiful things
Of America...

He wasn't handsome
But still,
There were a thousand girls into him
He sang Help
And Ticket To Ride,
Oh! Lady Jane and Yesterday...

He sang long live, to freedom
But a letter out of the blue
From his guitar, tore him apart
He was drafted in America...

Stop! With Rolling Stones
Stop! With Beatles songs
He was sent to Vietnam
To fight the Viet Cong...

Rat-a-tat tat...
Tat-tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat tat...
Tat-tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat tat...
Tat-tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat tat...

There was a boy
Who, like me!
Loved the Beatles
And the Rolling Stones
He spun the world
But it ended!
Waging war
In Vietnam...

Long hair
He doesn't wear anymore
Doesn't play his
Guitar, but instead
An instrument
That always plays
The same note
Rat-a-tat-tat...

He has no friends
Doesn't see girls
Just dead people
Falling to the ground
To his country
He won't return
'Cause he's dead
In Vietnam...

Stop! With Rolling Stones
Stop! With Beatles songs
In his chest, there's no heart
But two medals, yes....

Rat-a-tat tat...
Tat-tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat tat...
Tat-tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat tat...
Tat-tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat tat...

Rat-a-tat tat-tat...
Rat-a-tat tat-tat...
