Lyrics of 'The Really "Serious" Introduction' by Ringo Starr

"Bon soir!"
"Ooh, some heavies back here tonight, my God!"
"I've known Ringo for quite a while and I'm glad to see him doing something like this
tonight 'cause it's really serious."

"Ringo Starr & The All Starr Band!"

"Joe Walsh!"
"Nils Lofgren!"
"Dave Edmunds!"
"Todd Rundgren!"
"Burton Cummings!"
"Timothy B. Schmit!"
"Tim Cappello!"
"And Zak Starkey!"
"This is Ringo Starr, Ladies and Gentlemen!"

"Good evening, Montreux!"
"I love your T-shirt!...Any minute now....
Oh, it's really great to be here at the Montreux Jazz Festival, er..., you know,
I'm sure you all recognise me as an old jazz player."

"Anyway, the first number we're gonna do tonight is 'I'm The Greatest' and it goes something like this."
