COME TOGETHER

(Lennon-McCartney)

(Shoot!)

Here come old flat-top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

(Shoot!)

He wear no shoe-shine
He got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together
right now
over me.

(Shoot!)

He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

Come together
right now
over me.

(Shoot!)

He roller-coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one mojo-filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good-looking 'cos he's so hard to see

Come together
right now
over me.

(Shoot!)

Come together
Come together

SOMETHING

(Harrison)

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now, it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER

(Lennon-McCartney)

Joan was quizzical
studied pataphysical science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a test tube
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Maxwell Edison
Majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone.
Can I take you out to the pictures
Joan?
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door.

Bang bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

Back in school again
Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
Scene
She tells Max to stay
When the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times, "I must not be so"
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind

Bang bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

P.C. 31
Said we've caught a dirty one
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Rose and Valarie
Screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free!)
The judge does not agree
And he tells them so
Oh, oh, oh. But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind

Bang bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Bang bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead

Silver hammer, ooh.

OH DARLING

(Lennon-McCartney)

Oh, Darling
Please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

Oh, Darling
If you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know, I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know, I nearly broke down and died

Oh, Darling
If you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know, I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know, I nearly broke down and died

Oh Darling
Please believe me
I'll never let you down (Oh believe me darling
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

OCTOPUS'S GARDEN

(Starkey)

I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in
Knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm
Below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head
On the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would shout
And swim about
the corals that lie beneath the waves
Oh what joy
For every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe

We would be so happy you and me
No one ther to tell us what to do
I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you

I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY)

(Lennon-McCartney)


I want you
I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad it's driving me mad
It's driving me mad

I want you so bad
I want you
I want you so bad it's driving me mad

Heavy

HERE COMES THE SUN

(Harrison)

Here comes the sun (do do do do)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright.

Little darling
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright.

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright.

Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright.

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright.
It's alright.

BECAUSE

(Lennon-McCartney)


Aaaahhh
Because the world is round
It turns me on
Because the world is round

Aaaaahhh
Because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Because the wind is high

Aaaaahhh
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue
It makes me cry
Because the sky is blue

Aaaaaahhh
Aaaaaahhh

YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY

(Lennon-McCartney)


You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation
I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone
Nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning turning back
Yellow lorry slow
Nowhere to go

But oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags, get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true
Today
Came true
Today
Came true
Today
Yes it did

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
All good children go to heaven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
All good children go to heaven
(Repeat to fade)

SUN KING

(Lennon-McCartney)


Ah...
Here comes the Sun King

Everybody's happy
Here comes the Sun King
Quando para mucho mi amore defelice corazon
Mundo paparazzi mi amore chica ferdy parasol
Cuesto abrigado tanta mucho que can eat it carousel

MEAN MR.MUSTARD

(Lennon-McCartney)


Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark
Trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man

His sister Pam works in the shop
She never stops
She's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man

POLYTHENE PAM

(Lennon-McCartney)


Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag
Dressed in a polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl
Who makes the News of the World
Yes you can say she was attractively built
Yeah, yeah, yeah

SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW

(Lennon-McCartney)

Oh look out...

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her
Didn't anybody see
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she's always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew but I could not say

And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob

Didn't anybody tell her
Didn't anybody see
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah

GOLDEN SLUMBERS

(Lennon-McCartney)


Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

CARRY THAT WEIGHT

(Lennon-McCartney)


Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

THE END

(Lennon-McCartney)


Oh yeah, alright
Are you gonna be in my dreams
Tonight?

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love
You make

HER MAJESTY

(Lennon-McCartney)


Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day
I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a belly full of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Some day I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
Some day I'm gonna make her mine
