"Come and Get It," written by Paul McCartney, was Badfinger's first top 40 hit landing at the no. 7 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970 and was featured in the film "The Magic Christian" (staring Peter Sellers & Ringo Starr) (Whtiburn, 2013). "Come And Get It" was the first substantial hit on the [Apple] label by a group other than The Beatles (songfacts, 2025). On writing and recording the song, McCartney stated “I’d written the song ‘Come And Get It’ and I’d made a fairly decent demo. Because I lived locally, I could get in half an hour before a Beatles session at Abbey Road—knowing it would be empty and all the stuff would be set up—and I’d use Ringo’s equipment to put a drum track down, put some piano down, quickly put some bass down, do the vocal, and double-track it. I said to Badfinger, ‘OK, it’s got to be exactly like this demo,’ because it had a great feeling on it. They actually wanted to put their own variations on, but I said, ‘No, this really is the right way’” . . . [the band recorded the record as McCartney requested except at] "a slightly faster tempo and in a different key, to better match singer Tom Evans’ vocal range" (M. Miller, classicsongoftheday, Nov. 30, 2024).

Lyrics:

If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, make your mind up fast
If you want it anytime, I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's goin' fast

If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, make your mind up fast
If you want it anytime, I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you'd better hurry 'cause it's goin' fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's goin' fast
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) a fool and his money

Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you'd better hurry 'cause it's goin' fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's goin' fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's goin' fast
