Little Child

By John T. Marck

Credited to Lennon and McCartney, the lyrics about a sad and lonely boy wanting a girl to take a chance on him, was no doubt inspired by Lennon. Initially written for Ringo to sing, John considered it a hackwork song. Yet, his harmonica solo turned it into something quite dynamic; recorded on September 12, and October 3, 1963.

Little child, little child, little child won't you dance with me

I'm so sad and lonely, baby take a chance with me

Little child, little child, little child won't you dance with me

I'm so sad and lonely, baby take a chance with me

If you want someone to make you feel so fine, Then we'll have some fun when you're mine oh mine,

so come on, come on, come on

Little child, little child, little child won't you dance with me

I'm so sad and lonely, baby take a chance with me, wow

When you're by my side you're the only one Don't you run and hide just come on, come on,

then come on, come on, come on

Little child, little child, little child won't you dance with me

I'm so sad and lonely, baby take a chance with me,

oh yeah,

Baby take a chance with me, oh yeah,

baby take a chance with me,

oh yeah
