323 - The Beatles It Won’t Be Long 1963

"It Won’t Be Long" is the opening track on "With the Beatles", and was the first original song recorded for the LP. Although credited to Lennon & McCartney, it was primarily a John Lennon composition, with Paul McCartney assisting with the lyrics and arrangement. The chorus is a play on the words “be long” and “belong”. The song features early Beatles’ trademarks such as call-and-response yeah yeah’s and scaling guitar riffs.
