when i was a little boy,
way back home in liverpool,
my mama told me, i was great.then when i was a teenager,
i knew that i had got something going,
all my friends told me i was great.and now i'm a man,
a woman took me by the hand,
and you know what she told me... i was great.
i was in the greatest show on earth,
for what it was worth.
now i'm only thirty-two;
and all i wanna do, is boogaloo!i looked in the mirror,
i saw my wife and kids,
and you know what they told me... i was great.yes, my name is billy shears,
you know it has been for so many years.
now i'm only thirty-two;
and all i wanna do, is boogaloo!
i'm the greatest,
and you better believe it baby!
i will be the greatest in this world,
in the next world,
and anywhere!
alright!
