Something
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
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, Jo-o-o-an?"
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.
Clang! Clang! 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
sce-e-e-ne.
She tells Max to stay
when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind.
Writing fifty times,
"I must not be so-o-o-o."
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.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's
Silver Hammer made sure that she was dead.
P.C. Thirty-One said,
"We've caught a dirty one,"
Maxwell stands alone,
Painting testimonial
pictures,
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Rose and Valerie, screaming
from the gallery,
Say he must go free ("Maxwell
must go free!")
The judge does not agree
and he tells them so-o-o-o.
But as the words are
leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's
Silver Hammer came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's
Silver Hammer made sure that he was dead.
Oh! Darling
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,
You know I nearly broke
down and cried.
When you told me you
didn't need me anymore,
You know I nearly fell
down and died.
Oh darling, if you leave
me,
I'll never make it alone;
Believe me when I tell
you
I'll never do you no
harm
(Spoken: Believe me,
darling)
When you told me you didn't
need me anymore,
You know I nearly broke
down and cried.
When you told me you
didn't need me anymore,
You know I nearly fell
down and died.
Oh darling, please believe
me,
I'll never let you down
(Spoken: Oh, believe
me darling)
Believe me when I tell
you
I'll never do you no
harm.
Octopus's Garden
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 coral that lies beneath
the waves (lies beneath the ocean waves).
Oh what joy for every
girl and boy
Knowing they're happy
and they're safe (happy and they're safe).
We would be so happy you
and me,
No one there 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)
(repeated four times)
I Want You
I Want You so bad.
I Want You.
I Want You so bad, so
bad, it's driving me mad,
It's driving me mad.
She's So Heavy.
Heavy (Heavy-Heavy-Heavy)
(repeated four times)
I Want You.
I Want You so bad.
I Want You.
I Want You so bad, so
bad, it's driving me mad,
It's driving me mad.
She's so--
(3-bar sequence repeated
fourteen times until abrupt cutoff).
Here Comes The Sun
Here Comes The Sun, doo
da doo doo,
Here Comes The Sun, and
I say,
"It's all right".
Little darling, it's been
a long cold lonely winter.
Little darling, it feels
like years since it's been here.
Here Comes The Sun,
Here Comes The Sun, and
I say,
"It's all right".
Little darling, the smiles
returning to their 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 all right".
Sun, sun, sun, here it
comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it
comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it
comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it
comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it
comes.
Little darling, I feel
that ice is slowly melting,
Little darling, it feels
like years since it's been clear.
Here Comes The Sun,
Here Comes The Sun, and
I say,
"It's all right".
Here Comes The Sun,
Here Comes The Sun, and
I say,
"It's all right".
"It's all right".
Because
Because the world is round,
it turns me on.
Because the world is
round.
Ah.
Because the wind is high,
it blows my mind.
Because the wind is high.
Ah.
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.
Ah.
Ah.
Oo.
Ah.
You Never Give Me
Your Money
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.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
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.
(Yes it did and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,...)
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven,
All good children go
to heaven.
(repeat and fade)
Sun King
Ah.
Here comes the Sun King.
Here comes the Sun King.
Everybody's laughing,
Everybody's happy.
Here comes the Sun King.
Quando para mucho mi amore
de felice corazon,
Mundo paparazzi mi amore
chicka ferdy para sol.
Cuesto obrigado tanta
mucho que can eatit carousel.
Mean Mr. Mustard
Mean Mister Mustard sleeps
in the park
Shaves in the dark tryin'
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
Well, you should see Polythene
Pam,
She's so good looking
that 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 could say she
was attractively built.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She Came In Through The
Bathroom Window
(First time I'm out, oh,
look out, it's--)
She Came In Through The
Bathroom Window,
Protected by a silver
spoon.
But now she sucks her
thumb and wonders
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'd always
been a dancer.
She worked in 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 p'lice
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
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
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 invitation,
And in the middle of
the celebration 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
Oh yeah!
All right!
Are you gonna be in my
dreams tonight?
(Drum solo)
Love you (twenty-four
times)
*note: during
this part there is a guitar solo, split between Paul, George, and John,
in that order they
each play two bars of the solo, repeating til the end of solo. Courtesy
of Anthology 3 notes*
And in The End, the love
you take
Is equal to the love
you make.
Her Majesty
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 lover her a lot,
But I got to get a belly
full of wine.
Her Majesty's a pretty
nice girl,
And someday I'm going
to make her mine,
Oh yes, someday I'm going
to make her mine.
Let It Be
