The Fool On The Hill

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 he apperars 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.

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.

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

The Fool On The Hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning 'round.
Oh, round and round and round.

Flying

La la la la la.
La la la la la.
La la la la la.
La la la la la.
Ah, ah, ah.

Blue Jay Way

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,
Or I may be asleep.

Well it only goes to show,
And I told them where to go.
Ask a p'liceman 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,
Or 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,
Or I may be asleep.

Please don't be long,
Please don't you be very long,
Please don't be long.

Please don't be long,
Please don't be very long,
Please don't be long.

Please don't be long,
Please don't you be very long,
Please don't be long.

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

Your Mother Should Know

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) Your Mother Should Know. (Know)
Sing it again,

Let's all get up and dance to a song

I Am The Walrus

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.
Coporation tee shirt, stupid bloddy Tuesday man
You been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long.

I am the eggman (Ooh),
They are the eggman (Ooh),
I Am The Walrus,
Googoo g'joob.

Mister city p'liceman sitting
Pretty little p'licemen 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 fish wife porographic priestess,
Boy you been a naughty girl,
You let your knickers down.

I am the eggman (Ooh),
They are the eggman (Ooh),
I Am The Walrus,
Googoo g'joob.

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.

I am the eggman (Ooh),
They are the eggman (Ooh),
I Am The Walrus,
Googoo g'joob g'ggogoo g'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 pilchards,
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Element'ry penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allen Poe.

I am the eggman (Ooh),
They are the eggman (Ooh),
I Am The Walrus,
Googoo g'joob g'googoo g'joob.
Googoo g'goo g'googoo g'joob joob.
Jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba.

(Refrain until end: "Ev'rybody ha-ha", intermixed with quotes from King Lear)


Hello, Goodbye

You say yes,
I say no.
You say stop,
And I say go, go, go.
Oh, no.

And I say hello, hello, hello.
I don't know why you say goodbye,

I don't know why you say goodbye,

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 Goodbye, Hello Goodbye), hello, hello (Hello Goodbye).
I don't know why you say goodbye,
I say hello(Hello Goodbye, Hello Goodbye), hello, hello (Hello Goodbye).
I don't know why you say goodbye (Hello Goodbye),
I say hello.

Why, why, why, why, why, why
Do you say goodbye, goodbye, bye 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,

Strawberry Fields Forever

Let me take you down 'cause I'm goin' 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 'cause I'm goin' 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 know you can't tune in but it's all right.
That is, I think it's not too bad.

Let me take you down 'cause I'm goin' 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 when it's a dream.
I think a "No" will be a "Yes", but it's all wrong.
That is, I think I disagree.

Let me take you down 'cause I'm goin' to
Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real,
And nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields Forever.
Strawberry Fields Forever.
Strawberry Fields Forever.


Penny Lane

Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of ev'ry head he's had the pleasure to have known,
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.

On the corner is a banker with a motor car;
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,
Wet 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 fire engine clean;
It's a clean machine!

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes,
Full 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 tho' she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.

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

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 travelled 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 when 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!) Baby, You're A Rich Man,
Baby, You're A Rich Man,
Baby, You're A Rich Man, too. Oh!

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

Love, love, love.
Love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say 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. (ev'rybody)
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.
(repeat & ad lib to fade).
