BEING A SHORT DIVERSION ON THE DUBIOUS ORIGINS OF THE BEATLES

Translated from the John Lennon

Once upon a time there were three little boys named John, George and Paul by name christened. They decided to get together because they were the getting together type. When they were together they wondered what for after all, what for? So all of the sudden they grew guitars and formed a noise. Funnily enough, no one was interested in the the noise, least of all the three little men. So-o-o-o on discovering a fourth even littler man called Stuart Sutcliffe running about them said, "Sonny get a bass guitar and you will be alright" and he did-but it wasn't all right because he couldn't play it. So they sat on him with comfort 'till he could play. Still there was no beat and a kindly old aged man said "Thou hast not drums!" We had no drums! They coffed. So a series of drums came and went and came.
Suddenly in Scotland touring with Johnny Gentle, the group(called the Beatles)discovered they had not a very nice sound-because they had no amplifiers. They got some. Many people ask what are Beatles? Why Beatles? Uh, Beatles, how did the name arrive? So we will tell you. It came in a vision, a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them "From this day on you are Beatles with an A." Thank you mister man, they said, thanking him.
And them a man with a beard cut off said-will you go to Germany and play mighty rock for the peasants for money? And we said we would play mighty anything for money.
But before we could go we had to grow a drummer so we grew one in a club caused Some Casbah and his trouble was Pete Best. We called "Hello, Pete come off the Germany!" "Yes!" Zooooooom. After a few months, Peter and Paul (who is McArtrey, son of Jim McArtrey, his father) lit a Kino (cinema) and the German police said, "Bad Beatles, you must go home now and light your English cinemas." Zoooooom, half a group. But even before this, the Gestapo had taken away my little friend George Harrison (of Speke) away because he was only twelve and too young to vote in Germany; but after two months in England he grew eighteen and the Gestopoes said, "you can come". So suddenly all back in Leverpool Village where many groups were playing in grey suits and Jim said, "Why have you no grey suits?" "We don't like them, Jim, we said, speaking to Jim. After playing in the clubs a bit, everyone said, "Go to Germany!" So we are. Zoooom. Stuart gone. Zoom zoom John (of Woolton), George (of Speke) Peter and Paul zoom, zoom. All of them gone.
Thank you club members, from John and George (what are friends).
