THE FOOL ON THE HILL

(Lennon-McCartney)


Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning ‘round

Well on the way
Head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
Talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound hew appears to make
And he never seems to notice

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning ‘round

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning ‘round

And he never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning ‘round

BLUE JAY WAY

(Harrison)


There's a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
"We'll be over soon," they said
Now they've lost themselves instead

Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
For I may be asleep

Well it only goes to show
And I told them where to go
Ask a policeman on the street
There's so many there to meet

Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
For I may be asleep

Now it's past my bed I know
And I'd really like to go
Soon will be the break of day
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way

Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
For I may be asleep

Please don't be long
Please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
For I may be asleep

Long...don't be long
Don't be long, don't be long

YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW

(Lennon-McCartney)


Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your mother should know
Your mother should know

Sing it again

Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your mother should know
Your mother should know

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your mother should know
Your mother should know

Sing it again


Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your mother should know
Your mother should know
Your mother should know
Your mother should know
Your mother should know
Your mother should know

I AM THE WALRUS

(Lennon-McCartney)


I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Cooperation t-shirt
Stupid, bloody Tuesday
Man, you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo-goo-goo-joob

Mr. City policeman sitting pretty
Little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo-goo-goo-joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get your tan from standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo-goo-goo-joob
Goo-goo-goo-goo-joob

Expert texpert, choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snied
I'm crying

Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe

I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo-goo-goo-joob
Goo-goo-goo-goo-joob
Goo-goo-goo-joob
Goo-goo-goo-goo-joob

HELLO GOODBYE

(Lennon-McCartney)


You say yes
I say no
You say stop
And I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello

Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

I say high
You say low
You say "why?"
And I say "I don't know!"
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello

Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

Why-why-why-why-why-why do you say
Goodbye, Goodbye-bye-bye-bye-bye
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello

Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

You say yes
I say no
You say stop
And I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello

Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello

STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER

(Lennon-McCartney)

Let me take you down
‘Cos I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down
‘Cos I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

No one, I think, is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't, you know, tune in but's alright
That is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down
‘Cos I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

Always know, sometimes think it's me
But you know I know and it's a dream
I think I know, I mean, ah yes, but it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

Let me take you down
‘Cos I'm going to
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever

PENNY LANE

(Lennon-McCartney)

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac in the pouring rain
Very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears
And in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile, back...

in Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fore engine clean
It's a clean machine

Penny Lane is in my ears
And in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile, back...

behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain
Very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears
And in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile, back...

Penny Lane is in my ears
And in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane

BABY YOU'RE A RICH MAN

(Lennon-McCartney)


How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful
people?

Now that you know who you are
What do you want to be?
And have you traveled very far?
Far as the eye can see

How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful
people?

How often have you been there?
Often enough to know
What did you see while you were there?
Nothing that doesn't show

Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag
Inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too

How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful
people?

Tuned to a natural "E"
Happy to be that way
Now that you've found another key
What are you going to play?

Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag
Inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too

Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man too

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

(Lennon-McCartney)


There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can do
But you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do
But you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
Nowhere you can be
That isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love (All together now!)
All you need is love (Everybody!)
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love is all you need (Love is all you need)
Love is all you need (Love is all you need)
Love is all you need (Love is all you need)
Love is all you need (Love is all you need)

Yes it is
Oh yeah!
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
