Sabían ustedes que la versión de THE LADY IS A TRAMP cantada por Frank Sinatra que aparece en los singles de Apple Records es un regalo de cumpleaños exclusivo???
Así es!, y fue un regalo para Maureen Starkey, en esos años esposa de Ringo.
En su cumpleaños 22, a alguien se le ocurrió tener una versión de The Lady Is A Tramp con nueva letra como homenaje a Maureen. Peter Brown, ejecutivo de AppleRecords, contactó al famoso compositor Sammy Cahn, quien accedió a reescribir la letra de la canción. Posteriormente hablaron con Frank Sinatra para que la cantara, Éste, fan de las canciones de The Beatles, accedió de inmediato. La canción se grabó, se envió a Londres y se convirtió en el primer single bajo el sello Apple.
MAUREEN IS A CHAMP
There’s no one like her,
But no one at all.
And as for charm
Hers is like, wall to wall.
She married Ringo
And she could have had Paul.
That’s why the lady is a champ.
Creates excitement
Whenever it’s dull.
She just appears
And there goes the lull.
She merely smiles
And you’re out of your skull.
That’s why the lady is a champ.
The folks who do
And don’t meditate
Agree she’s great.
They mean Maureen.
I’ve got more lyrics
Right after this band.
Because the lady is a champ.
Though we’ve not met
I’m convinced she’s a gem.
I’m just F.S.
But to me she’s big M.
Mainly because
She prefers me to them.
That’s why the lady is a champ.
I have lots of fans
Well at least one or two.
But Peter Brown calls me
To tell me it’s true.
She sleeps with Ringo
But she thinks of you.
That’s why the lady is a champ.
But I can boast, boast
As much, as much as I please.
The fact is that’s
She’s his wife
Well that’s life.
But it’s her day
So I whistle and stamp,
Because the lady,
The charming lady,
Mr. Ringo’s lady is a champ.
May I toast you all the way
Lift my glass and softly say
I have thoughts for you this day.
But beautiful thoughts for you
And for your Ringo
That I must express,
With the warm and deep affection
Of F.S.
Would you kindly ask the guys
If they’d grab a glass and rise
‘Cause I think we’d harmonize.
But beautiful
May your birthday
And your birthday candles
Softly gleam and glow.
For that would be
But beautiful I know.
