When We Was Fab Lyrics

[Intro: Ringo Starr]
One! Two!

[Verse 1: George Harrison]
Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like strangers in the night

[Chorus: George Harrison]
(Fab, doo, doo, doo, doo) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) Back when income tax was all we had

[Verse 2: George Harrison]
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all

[Chorus: George Harrison]
(Fab, doo, doo, doo, doo) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) You are my world, you are my only love

[Bridge: George Harrison]
And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo' better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away, take you away

[Verse 3: George Harrison]
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flowed on and on

[Chorus 3: George Harrison]
(Fab, gear!) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) But it's all over now, baby blue

[Outro]
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, fab) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) Like this pullover you sent to me
(Fab, doo, doo, doo, doo) And you really got a hold on me
(Fab, doo, doo, doo, doo, gear!) Long time ago when we was fab
