The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Lyrics
It was twenty years ago today
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to break a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
I don't really want to stop the show
But I think you might like to know
That the singer's gonna to sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along
So may I introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
