Come Together

Here come old flat top
He come grooving up slowly,
He got Joo Joo eyeball,
He one holy roller,
He got hair down to his knee.
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please

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.

He Bag Production,
He got walrus gum boot,
He got Ono Sideboard,
He one spinal cracker,
He got feet down below his knee,
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease.

Come together, right now, over me.

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 cause he's so hard to see.

Come together, right now, over me.
Come together, yeah! (repeated ad lib till end)

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.
