If you want to touch  the brow of time flying by
in a March of fire dust
and how today's grandad is yesterday's child
if you want to hear not just for fun the footstep of a thousand thoughs
ask who the Beatles were
ask who the Beatles were

If you want to feel on your arm the day racing far
and how a rope of hemp is drawn
or the fog pinned down between shorter and shorter days
if you want to touch with your finger the heart of the last snows
ask who the Beatles were
ask who the Beatles were

Ask that of a girl fifteen years old
ask when the Beatles were, she'll say,
the pretty little girl with her nice look
her glasses and thin little voice
but just who were these Beatles, she'll say
I know nothing about the Beatles, I know nothing about the world either
sure sure I know about Hiroshima but abou the rest I know very little really very little

My father told me Europe went up in flames
we've still got to learn, we were born yesterday, only born yesterday
after August vacation  I don't remember the sea anymore
I don't remember the music, have trouble explaining things
and to keep calm I take the last shots of grandma
but just who were these Beatles
but just who were theses Beatles

You people who spun them on your record players and screamed
you who waited for them and listened, devoured and then forgot them
you've got to teach us with every sort of thing not just words
but just who were these Beatles
but just who were these Beatles

Because the falling rain is soon dried by the sun
a river flows over the leather couch
bust just who were the Beatles
at night I dream of nerver-ending cities
hear choirs of voices singing and yonder people answering
I swim through waves of sun and walk in the sky of the sea
but just who were these Beatles
but just who were the Beatles
