Back In The U.S.S.R.
Flew in from Miami Beach,
B.O.A.C.,
Didn't get to bed last
night.
On the way, the paper
bag was on my knee;
Man, I had a dreadful
flight.
I'm Back In The U.S.S.R.,
You don't know how lucky
you are, boys,
Back In The U.S.S.R.
Been away so long, I hardly
knew the place,
Gee, it's good to be
back home.
Leave it 'til tomorrow
to unpack my 'case,
Honey, disconnect the
phone.
I'm Back In The U.S.S.R.,
You don't know how lucky
you are, boys,
Back In The U.S.,
Back In The U.S.,
Back In The U.S.S.R.
Well, the Ukraine girls
really knock me out (ooh ooh ooh ooh).
They leave the West behind.
And Moscow girls make
me scream and shout (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
That's Georgia's always
on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi--mi-mind!
I'm Back In The U.S.S.R.,
You don't know how lucky
you are, boys,
Back In The U.S.S.R.
Well, the Ukraine girls
really knock me out (ooh ooh ooh ooh).
They leave the West behind.
And Moscow girls make
me scream and shout (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
That's Georgia's always
on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi--mi-mind!
Show me 'round your snow-peaked
mountains way down south,
Take me to your daddy's
farm.
Let me hear your balalaika's
ringing out;
Come and keep your comrade
warm.
I'm Back In The U.S.S.R.,
You don't know how lucky
you are, boys,
Back In The U.S.S.R.
Ah, let me tell you honey,
I'm Back!
Dear Prudence
Dear Prudence, won't you
come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet
the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky
is blue,
It's beautiful, and so
are you.
Dear Prudence, won't
you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, open up
your eyes.
Dear Prudence, see the
sunny skies.
The wind is low, the
birds will sing
That you are part of
everything.
Dear Prudence, won't
you open up your eyes?
Look around (round, round,
round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round),
Look around (round, round,
round, round, round, round,, round, round, round, round, round),
Look around.
Dear Prudence, let me
see you smile.
Dear Prudence, like a

The clouds will be a
daisy chain
So let me see you smile
again.
Dear Prudence, won't

Dear Prudence, greet

Glass Onion
I told you 'bout Strawberry
Fields,
You know, the place where
nothing is real.
Well, here's another
place you can go
Where ev'rything flows.
Looking through the bent-backed
tulips
To see how the other
half live.
Looking through a Glass
Onion.
I told you 'bout the Walrus
and me, man.
You know that we're as
close as can be, man.
Well, here's another
clue for you all:
The Walrus was Paul!
Standing on the cast iron
shore, yeah.
Lady Madonna trying to
make ends meet, yeah.
Looking through a Glass
Onion.
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah!
I told you 'bout the Fool
on the Hill,
I tell you, man, he living
there still!
Well, here's another
place you can be,
Listen to me!
Fixing a Hole in the ocean,
Trying to make a dove-tail
joint, yeah.
Looking through a Glass
Onion.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Desmond has a barrow in
the market place,
Molly is the singer in
a band.
Desmond says to Molly,
"Girl, I like your face",
And Molly says this as
she takes him by the hand:
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life
goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes
on.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life
goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes
on.
Desmond takes a trolley
to the jeweller's store,
Buys a twenty carat golden
ring.
Takes it back to Molly,
waiting at the door,
And as he gives it to
her, she begins to sing:
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life
goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes
on.
Oh-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life
goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes
on.
In a couple of years they
have built
A home, sweet home,
With a couple of kids
running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly
Jones.
Happy ever after in the
market place,
Desmond lets the children
lend a hand.
Molly stays at home and
does her pretty face,
And in the evening, she
still sings it with the band.
Yes!
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life
goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes
on.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life
goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes

on.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life
goes on, brah!

And if you want some fun:
Take Ob-La-Di-'b-La-Da.
(Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,

The Continuing Story Of Bungalow
Bill
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill,
Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill,
Bungalow Bill?
He went out tiger hunting
with his elephant and gun.
In case of accidents,
he always took his mom.
He's the all-American,
bullet-headed, Saxon mother's son.
All the children sing.
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill,
Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill,
Bungalow Bill?
Deep in the jungle, where
the mighty tiger lies,
Bill and his elephant
are taken by surprise,
So Captain Marvel zapped
in right between the eyes.
All the children sing.
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill,
Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill,
Bungalow Bill?
The children asked him
if to kill was not a sin.
"Not when he looked so
fierce," his mommy butted in.
"If looks could kill,
it would have been us instead of him."
All the children sing.
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill,
Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,

While My Guitar Gently
Weeps
I look at you all, see
the love there that's sleeping,
While My Guitar Gently
Weeps.
I look at the floor and
I see it needs sweeping,
Still My Guitar Gently
Weeps.
I don't know why nobody
told you
How to unfold your love.
I don't know how someone
controlled you.
They bought and sold
you.
I look at the world and
I notice it's turning,
While My Guitar Gently
Weeps.
With ev'ry mistake, we
must surely be learning,
Still My Guitar Gently
Weeps.
I don't know how you were
diverted,
You were perverted too.
I don't know how you
were inverted,
No one alerted you.
I look at you all, see
the love there that's sleeping,
While My Guitar Gently
Weeps.
Look at you all. . .
Still My Guitar Gently
Weeps. . .
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
She's not a girl who misses
much.
Do do do do do do oh
yeah.
She's well acquainted
with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window
pane.
The man in the crowd with
the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots,
Lying with his eyes while
his hands are busy
Working overtime.
A soap impression of
his wife which he ate
And donated to the National
Trust.
I need a fix 'cause I'm
going down,
Down to the bits that
I left uptown.
I need a fix 'cause I'm
going down.
Mother Superior jump the
gun.
Mother Superior jump
the gun.
Mother Superior jump
the gun.
Mother Superior jump
the gun.
Mother Superior jump
the gun.
Mother Superior jump
the gun.
Happiness Is A Warm Gun,
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness Is A Warm Gun,
momma. (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
When I hold you in my
arms, (Oh, yeah, ooh)
And I feel my finger
on your trigger (Oh, yeah, ooh),
I know no body can do
me no harm (Oh, yeah).
Because (Happiness) Is
A Warm Gun, momma. (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness Is A Warm Gun,
yes it is. (Bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Happiness Is A Warm
--Yes it is, Gun!
(Happiness, bang, bang,
shoot, shoot)
Well, don't you know
that Happiness (Happiness) Is A Warm Gun
(Is A Warm Gun, yeah).
Martha My Dear
Martha, My Dear, though
I spend my days in conversation,
Please, remember me,
Martha, my love,
Don't forget me,
Martha, My Dear.
Hold your head up, you
silly girl; look what you've done!
When you find yourself
in the thick of it,
Help yourself to a bit
of what is all around you.
Silly girl.
Take a good look around
you,
Take a good look, you're
bound to see
That you and me were
meant to be for each other.
Silly girl.
Hold your hand out, you
silly girl; see what you've done!
When you find yourself
in the thick of it,
Help yourself to a bit
of what is all around you.
Silly girl.
Martha, My Dear, you have
always been my inspiration,
Please, be good to me,
Martha, my love,
Don't forget me,
Martha, My Dear.
I'm So Tired
I'm So Tired, I haven't
slept a wink.
I'm So Tired, my mind
is on the blink.
I wonder, should I get
up and fix myself a drink?
No, no, no!
I'm So Tired, I don't
know what to do.
I'm So Tired, my mind
is set on you.
I wonder, should I call
you? But I know what you'd do.
You'd say I'm putting
you on,
But it's no joke, it's
doing me harm.
You know I can't sleep,
I can't stop my brain.
You know it's three weeks,
I'm going insane!
You know I'd give you
ev'rything I've got for a little peace of mind.
I'm So Tired, I'm feeling
so upset.
Although I'm So Tired,
I'll have another cigarette,
And curse Sir Walter
Raleigh,
He was such a stupid
get.
You'd say I'm putting
you on,
But it's no joke, it's
doing me harm.
You know I can't sleep,
I can't stop my brain.
You know it's three weeks,
I'm going insane!
You know I'd give you
ev'rything I've got for a little peace of mind.
Give you ev'rything I've
got for a little peace of mind.
Give you ev'rything I've
got for a little peace of mind.
Blackbird
Blackbird singing in the
dead of night,
Take these broken wings
and learn to fly.
All your life,
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the
dead of night,
Take these sunken eyes
and learn to see.
All your life,
You were only waiting
for this moment to be free.
Blackbird, fly.
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the
dark, black night.
Blackbird, fly.
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the
dark, black night.
Blackbird singing in the
dead of night,
Take these broken wings
and learn to fly.
All your life,
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise.
Piggies
Have you seen the little
Piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little
Piggies,
Life is getting worse;
Always having dirt to
play around in.
Have you seen the bigger
Piggies
In their starched white
shirts?
You will find the bigger
Piggies
Stirring up the dirt;
Always have clean shirts
to play around in.
In their styes with all
their backing,
They don't care what
goes on around.
In their eyes, there's
something lacking;
What they need's a damn
good whacking!
Ev'rywhere there's lots
of Piggies,
Living piggy lives.
You can see them out
for dinner
With their piggy wives.
Clutching forks and knives
to eat their bacon.
Rocky Raccoon
(Paul, spoken):
Now, somewhere
in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy
named Rocky Raccoon.
Anod one day his woman
ran off with another guy,
Hit young Rocky in he
eye; Rocky didn't like that.
He said, "I'm gonna get
tha boy."
So one day he walked
into town,
Booked himself a room
in the local saloon.
(sung):
Rocky Raccoon
checked into his room,
Only to find Gideon's
Bible.
Rocky had come equipped
with a gun
To shoot off the legs
of his rival.
His rival it seems, had
broken his dreams
By stealing the girl
of his fancy.
Her name was Magill,
and she called herself Lil,
But ev'ryone knew her
as Nancy.
Now she and her man,
who called himself Dan,
Were in the next room
at the hoedown.
Rocky burst in, and grinning
a grin,
He said, "Danny boy,
this is a showdown."
But Daniel was hot,
He drew first and shot,
And Rocky collapsed in
the corner.
Now the doctor came in,
stinking of gin,
And proceeded to lie
on the table.
He said "Rocky, you met
your match,"
And Rocky said, "Doc,
it's only a scratch,
And I'll be better,
I'll be better, Doc,
as soon as I am able."
Now Rocky Raccoon, he
fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's
Bible.
Gideon checked out, and
he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's
revival.
That's the story of Rocky
Raccoon.
Don't Pass Me By
I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive.
Listen for your footsteps,
But they don't arrive.
Waiting for your knock,
dear,
On my old front door;
I don't hear it,
Does it mean you don't
love me anymore?
I hear the clock a'ticking,
On the mantel shelf.
See the hands a'moving,
But I'm by myself.
I wonder where you are
tonight
And why I'm by myself.
I dont' see you,
Does it mean you don't
love me anymore?
Don't Pass Me By, don't
make me cry, don't make me blue,
'Cause you know, darling,
I love only you.
You'll never know it
hurt me so,
I'll hate to see you
go.
Don't Pass Me By, don't
make me cry.
I'm sorry that I doubted
you,
I was so unfair;
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair.
You said that you would
be late,
About an hour or two,
I said, "That's alright,
I'm waiting here,
Just waiting to hear
from you."
Don't Pass Me By, don't
make me cry, don't make me blue,
'Cause you know, darling,
I love only you.
You'll never know it
hurt me so,
I'll hate to see you
go.
Don't Pass Me By, don't
make me cry.

Who knows how long I've
loved you?
You know I love you still.
Will I wait a lonely
lifetime?
If you want me to, I
Will.
For if I ever saw you,
I didn't catch your name.
But it never really mattered;
I Will always feel the
same.
Love you forever and forever,
Love you with all my
heart.
Love you whenever we're
together,
Love you when we're apart.
And when, at last, I find
you,
Your song will fill the
air.
Sing it loud so I can
hear you.
Make it easy to be near
you.
For the things you do
endear you to me,
Oh, you know I Will.
I Will.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

La da da da da da da.
Julia
Half of what I say is
meaningless,
But I say it just to
reach you, Julia.

Windy smile calls me.
So I sing a song of love,

Her hair of floatin sky
is shimmering,
Glimmering in the sun.
Julia, Julia,
Morning moon, touch me.
So I sing a song of love,
Julia.
When I cannot sing my
heart,
I can only speak my mind,
Julia.
Julia, sleeping sand,
Silent cloud, touch me.

Julia.

me.
So I sing a song of love
for Julia,

Yer Blues
(Two, three..)
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna
die.
Yes I'm lonely, wanna
die.
If I ain't dead already,
Wooh, girl, you know
the reason why.
In the morning, wanna
die.
In the evening, wanna
die.
If I ain't dead already,
Wooh, girl, you know
the reason why.
My mother was of the sky,
My father was of the
earth.
And I am of the universe
And you know what it's
worth.
I'm lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Wooh, girl, you know
the reason why.
The eagle picks my eye,
The worm, he licks my
bone.
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr.
Jones.
Lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Wooh, girl, you know
the reason why.
Black cloud crossed my
mind,
Blue mist 'round my soul.
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and
roll.
Wanna die, yeah, wanna
die.
If I ain't dead already,
Wooh, girl, you know
the reason why.
(Yes I'm lonely, wanna
die.
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna
die.
If I'm not dead already,
Girl, you know the reason
why).
