Lyrics: I've been told when a boy kiss a girl Take a trip around the world Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Yes they say you do My girl says when I kiss her lips Get the thrill thru fingertips Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Yeah she said you do 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 My girl says when I kiss her lips Get the thrill thru fingertips Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Yeah she said you do 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 |

Notes:
Because Ringo had a following of his own as well, The Beatles always tried to give him a song to sing, mostly as a token event. This song was originally recorded by the Shirelles in 1960. In The Beatles' early career "Boys" became a standard for Ringo to sing, and became fondly known as "Ringo's Theme." When this was recorded on February 11, 1963 by The Beatles, Ringo did it successfully in one take. It's somewhat strange that no one questioned the theme of the song, in that it was about extolling the delights of boys, rather than girls, as one would expect from The Beatles.
