THERE'S A HONKY TONK IN THIS TOWN,
THEY CALL THE LOSER'S LOUNGE,
AND I GUESS I'M A CHARTER MEMBER, YOU COULD SAY.
SINCE LOVE HAS TURNED ME DOWN,
NOTHING TO DO BUT HANG AROUND
AND LISTEN TO ALL THE FOOLS WHO COME TO SAY.
THAT LIFE IS FULL OF HEARTACHES FOR A POOR BOY,
'CAUSE A BANK ROLL CAN TURN HIS WOMAN'S HEAD AROUND.
AIN'T NO USE TO TRY AND RUN AWAY OR MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN,
'CAUSE ANY WHERE A POOR BOY GOES THERE'S A LOSER'S LOUNGE.
HAD A REAL GOOD FRIEND NAMED SAM,
SAID HE JUST COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY IN THE WORLD HIS SWEET LOVE LET HIM DOWN.
BUT A RICH MAN CAUGHT HER EYE,
HE HAD THE MONEY FOR THINGS TO BUY.
NOW THERE'S A BRAND NEW MEMBER
DOWN AT THE LOSER'S LOUNGE.
LIFE IS FULL OF HEARTACHES FOR A POOR BOY,
'CAUSE A BANK ROLL CAN TURN HIS WOMAN'S HEAD AROUND.
AIN'T NO USE TO TRY AND RUN AWAY OR MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN,
'CAUSE ANY WHERE A POOR BOY GOES THERE'S A LOSER'S LOUNGE.
OH YEAH.

Sir Ringo Starr, nato Richard Starkey il 7 luglio 1940 a Liverpool, Inghilterra, è un leggendario musicista britannico noto soprattutto per essere stato il batterista dei Beatles. La sua carriera musicale inizia nei primi anni '60 con i Quarrymen, gruppo precursore dei Beatles. Con l'arrivo di Paul McCartney e George Harrison, Ringo si afferma come componente fondamentale della band, contribuendo con la sua energia contagiosa e un sound ritmico unico. Oltre a batterista, Ringo ha anche cantato diversi brani per i Beatles, tra cui "Yellow Submarine", "With a Little Help from My Friends" e "Octopus's Garden". Dopo lo scioglimento dei Beatles nel 1970, Ringo ha intrapreso una carriera da solista di successo, pubblicando numerosi album e collaborando con artisti come George Harrison, Paul McCartney e Harry Nilsson. Nel corso della sua lunga carriera, Ringo Starr è stato insignito del titolo di Sir dal Queen Elizabeth II nel 1981 per i suoi contributi alla musica britannica.
