TWO OF US

(Lennon-McCartney)

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches
Out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches
Out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

DIG A PONY

(Lennon-McCartney)


I
Dig a pony
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Yes, you can celebrate anything you want
Oh, I
Do a roadhog
Well you can penetrate anyplace you go
Yes, you can penetrate any place you go
I told you so

All I want is you
Everything has got to be just like you want it to
Because

I
Pick a moondog
Well you can radiate everything you are
Yes, you can radiate everything you are
Oh, now I
Roll a stoney
Well you can imitate everyone you know
Yes, you can imitate everyone you know
I told you so

All I want is you
Everything has got to be just like you want it to
Because

Oh now, I
Feel the wind blow
Well you can indicate everything you see
Yes, you can indicate everything you see
Oh now, I
Dug a pony
Well you can syndicate any boat you row
Yes you can syndicate any boat you row
I told you so

All I want is you
Everything has got to be just like you want it to
Because

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

(Lennon-McCartney)

Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless
wind inside a letterbox
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
Are ringing in my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love
That shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on
Across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

I ME MINE

(Harrison)


All through the day
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
All through the night
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Never frightened of leaving it
Everyone's weaving it
Coming on strong all the time
All through the day
I me mine

I me me mine
I me me mine
I me me mine
I me me mine

All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
No one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day
I me mine

I me me mine
I me me mine
I me me mine
I me me mine

All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
No one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through your life
I me mine

DIG IT

(Lennon-McCartney)


Like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone
Like a rolling stone
Like the FBI
And the CIA
And the BBC
B.B. King
And Doris Day
Matt Bubsby
Dig it, dig it
Dig it, dig it

LET IT BE

(Lennon-McCartney)



When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the brokenhearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Yeah let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on ‘til tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it Be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

MAGGIE MAE

(Trad. Arr.-Lennon-McCartney-Harrison-Starkey)


Oh dirty Maggie Mae they have taken her away
And she never walk down Lime Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found her
For robbing a homeward bounder
That dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae
To the port of Liverpool
They returned me to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay

I'VE GOT A FEELING

A feeling deep inside, oh yeah
Oh yeah, that's right

A feeling I can't hide, oh no, no

Wondering how come nobody told me

That keeps me on my toes, oh yeah
Oh yeah
I've got a feeling
I think that everybody knows, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah

Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down

ONE AFTER 909

(Lennon-McCartney)

My baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
She said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knee
Said, you're only fooling around, only fooling around with me
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
She said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

Picked up my bag
Run to the station
Railman says
"You've got the the wrong location."
Picked up my bag
Run right home
Then I find
I got the number wrong

Picked up my bag
Run to the station
Railman says
"You've got the the wrong location."
Picked up my bag
Run right home
Then I find
I got the number wrong

My baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
She said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0
She said she's trav'ling on the one after 9-0
She said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD

(Lennon-McCartney)

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door

The wild and windy night
That the rains washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Don't leave me standing here
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back
To the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
To the long, winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me waiting)
Lead me to your door

FOR YOU BLUE

(Harrison)


Because you're sweet and lovely girl, I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely girl, it's true
I love you more than ever girl, I do

I want you in the morning girl, I love you
I want you at the moment I feel blue
I'm living every moment girl, for you

(Go Johnny, go!)
(The old 12-bar blues...)
(Elmore James got nothin' on this baby!)


I've loved you from the moment I saw you
You looked at me, that's all you had to do
I feel it now, I hope you feel it too

Because you're sweet and lovely girl, I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely girl, it's true
I love you more than ever girl, I do

GET BACK

(Lennon-McCartney)

(Rosetta...)
(Sweet Loretta Fart she thought she was a cleaner, but she was a frying pan...)


Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo.

Go home

Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo.

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta
Go home

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

(Thanks, Mo! ...I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves...I hope we passed the audition.]
