Paul McCartney has been knighted...
Arise Sir Fab
Arise Sir Fab. Plain Paul no more
And if Sir Cliff (the knight before)
Should call you up to say, "Well played"
Be grateful for the accolade.
Arise Sir Fab to ringing cheers
Your thumb aloft for all these years
From Sixties star to titled man
Despite those problems in Japan
Arise Sir Fab. Your spaniel eyes
Undimmed by time - but how it flies
From psychedelic kipper ties
To Lady Linda's Country Pies
Arise Sir Fab and don't think twice.
The Beatle whom my gran thought "nice"
Sir George may never get the nod
Sir Ringo might have sounded odd.
Arise Sir Fab and and don't delay
Let's have a burst of "Yesterday"
You play the tune - I'll call a cab
Good on you, Guv. Arise Sir Fab.
