Boys (The Shirelles cover) Lyrics
Take a trip around the world
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop, m'bop bop shoo-wop)
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop, m'bop bop shoo-wop)
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop) yeah, she say you do (bop shoo-wop)
My girl says when I kiss her lips
Gets a thrill through her fingertips
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop, m'bop bop shoo-wop)
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop, m'bop bop shoo-wop)
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop) yeah, she say you do (bop shoo-wop)
Well, I talk about boys
Don't you know I mean boys
Well, I talk about boys, now
Ah, boys
Well, I talk about boys, now
What a bundle of joy (all right, George!)
My girl says when I kiss her lips
Gets a thrill through her fingertips
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop, m'bop bop shoo-wop)
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop, m'bop bop shoo-wop)
Hey, hey (bop shoo-wop) yeah, she say you do (bop shoo-wop)
Well, I talk about boys
Don't you know I mean boys
Well, I talk about boys, now
Ah, boys
Well, I talk about boys, now
What a bundle of joy!
reminds me alot of Ray Charles's - What'd I Say
This song always confused me. Why's he singing about boys?
This is a cover of a song by a group of girls. They just liked the song.

@Little Rachael Obviously, it was first performed by, and written for, a girl group, so yeah, it sounds a little weird. But I guess you could interpret it as, "Hey, isn't my gender (boys) great?" You know, talking up your own gender to the other. And it's being sung from the girl's perspective: "My girl says..." I guess they liked the song so much, they decided to change it a little so they could cover it.

just what i want to know... it doesn't really seem to have any purpose...
This song was originally recorded by The Shirelles, a girl group, hence why it's about "Boys". This was one of Ringo's first vocal attempts with The Beatles, and remains one of his fans favourites.
John once said that this song sort of made Ringo uncomfortable to sing but they didn't want to change the song title. They got another one for him to sing. I think it was 'Act Naturally'.
Ringo didn't come out of the closet. If he's gay, he's never said so... yet! But anyway, I just love his drumming in this one, and I always am a fan of the Ringo songs...
this song rocks like a bitch!!
really is a crazy tune,,,i love it
ahhhhhhhh
is it just me or does it sound very un-ringo-ish? just the voice...doesnt sound like him really. and yeah, funny how he sings about boys. but that doesn't mean he's gay, obviously.
Paul said he was a little hesitant to sing this song because it sounded like a gay song but he said that's 1 thing about youth you just don't care. He said the song was obviously talking about boys kissing girls. not each other.
