Teddy Boy

From BeatlesWiki

Teddy Boy is a song composed solely by Paul McCartney and demoed by The Beatles during the Get Back sessions rehearsals in January, 1969. Although a proper take of the song was never recorded by The Beatles, one of the rehearsal recordings was considered for inclusion on the 'Get Back' LP. After the song was dropped from both the 'Get Back' and 'Let It Be' LPs, Paul McCartney recorded and released it on his first solo album McCartney in 1970. The Beatles version of the song was eventually released on Anthology 3 in 1996.

Lyric
