RECORD STORE DAY

 SCORED A COPY AT MILL CITY SOUND

But if you were The Beatles’ drummer, you could simply call in a favor from the Chairman Of The Board.

The first single to receive an Apple catalogue number was ‘Those Were The Days’ by Mary Hopkin, which was given the Apple 2 status.

However, Apple 1 was actually a totally one-off re-recording of ‘The Lady Is A Tramp’ sung by Ol’ Blue Eyes, made in 1968 for Ringo Starr’s then-wife, Maureen, who was a big Sinatra fan.

Retitled ‘The Lady Is A Champ’, Sammy Cahn rewrote the lyrics, personalizing them for the surprise gift for Maureen’s 22nd birthday.

The opening verse goes,

“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.”

Only one copy was made and then the master tapes were destroyed.

Complete Lyrics:

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 a 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

Frank Sinatra's party

We had the greatest time

At Frank Sinatra's party

We drank expensive wine

Then watched the night roll by

I saw a showgirl dance

With Sammy Davis Jr

They had a brief romance

Under the desert sky

Fee, fi, fo, fum

I’m not the only Englishman

I'm under cover, but plenty of others

Are already flying high

See Angie Dickinson

Bump into Peter Lawford

She's out to have some fun

He doesn’t seem to mind

You don't have to doubt yourself

No, not on a night like this

Jump in the swimming pool

Say hi to Dino Martin

He's hot to play it cool

Watching the girls go by

Fee, fi, fo, fum

I'm not the only Englishman

I'm under cover, but some of my brothers

Are already flying high

Come and enjoy yourself

At Frank Sinatra's party

We had the greatest time

Watching the night go by
