I DON'T WANNA KISS OR HOLD YOUR HAND,

'CAUSE I'M HAPPY JUST TO DANCE WITH YOU.
I DON'T NEED TO HUG OR HOLD YOU TIGHT,
I JUST WANNA DANCE

IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO MAKE YOU FEEL SO FINE,
THEN WE'LL HAVE SOME FUN WHEN YOU'RE MINE ALL MINE.
SO COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.

LITTLE CHILD, LITTLE CHILD,

THESE ARE THE SOUNDS WHICH COMPLETE THE PICTURE. FOR IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE
CIVILISED WORLD WHO DOES NOT CONJURE UP A MENTAL MOTION PICTURE OF THE
PERFORMING BEATLES AT THE FIRST SOUND OF THEIR DISTINCTIVE STYLE. WHICH BEATLE
ONE IMMEDIATELY THINKS OF MAY VARY. IN AUSTRALIA IT MIGHT BE THE MOURNFUL-
FACED RINGO, IN GERMANY IT MIGHT BE THE BABY-FACED PAUL McCARTNEY, IN BRITAIN
IT MIGHT BE THE LITERATE BEATLE LEADER JOHN LENNON, IN AMERICA IT MIGHT BE THE
MORE QUIET BUT WHIMSICAL GEORGE HARRISON.
WHILE OTHERS MAKE NO INDIVIDUAL DISTINCTIONS, THEY JUST SEE ALL FOUR BEATLES IN
MOTION, HAIR FLOPPING, GUITARS WAVING, GIRLS SCREAMING. BUT EVERYBODY HAS A
MENTAL MOTION PICTURE. AND THAT PICTURE, PLUS THE BEATLE SOUND, IS THE
FORMULA WHICH WHEN FED TO THE YOUTH OF THE WORLD BRINGS ON BEATLEMANIA.
