Too Many People

(McCartney)



Too many people going underground
Too many reaching for a piece of cake
Too many people pulled and pushed around
Too many waiting for that lucky break
 
That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break
And broke it in two
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two

Too many people sharing party lines
Too many people never sleeping late
Too many people paying parking fines
Too many hungry people losing weight

That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break
And broke it in two
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two

Too many people preaching practices
Don't let ‘em tell you what you wanna be
Too many people holding back
This is crazy, and baby
It's not like me

That was your last mistake
I find my love awake
And waiting to be
Now what can be done for you?
She's waiting for me

Three Legs

(McCartney)



Well, when I walk, when I walk
Walk my horse upon a hill
Well, when I walk, walk, walk, walk
Walk my horse upon a hill
When I lay me down
Will my lover love me still?

A dog is here
A dog is there
My dog he got three legs
But he can't run

Well, when I thought, well, I thought
When I thought you was my friend
Well, when I thought, well, I thought
When I thought you was my friend
But you let me down
Put my heart around the bend
 
A fly flies in
A fly flies out
Most flies they got three legs
But mine got one

Well, when I fly, when I fly, when I fly
When I fly above the clouds
(When I fly above the man in the crowd)
Well, when I fly, when I fly, when I fly
When I fly above the clouds
(When I fly above the man in the crowd)
You can knock me down with a feather, yes you could
But you know it's not allowed
 
A dog is here
A dog is there
My dog he got three legs
But he can't run

My dog he got three legs, your dog he got none
My dog he got three legs, your dog he got none
My dog he got three legs, your dog he got none

Dear Boy

(Paul and Linda McCartney)



I guess you never knew, dear boy
What you have found
I guess you never knew, dear boy
That she was just the cutest thing around
I guess you never knew what you have found
Dear boy

I guess you never knew, dear boy
That love was there
And maybe when you look too hard, dear boy
You never do become aware
I guess you never did become aware
Dear boy

When I stepped in, my heart was down and out
But her love came through and brought me ‘round
Got me up and about

Dear boy
Dear boy, dear boy
 
When I stepped in, my heart was down and out
But her love came through and brought me ‘round
Got me up and about

I hope you never know, dear boy
How much you missed
And even when you fall in love, dear boy
It won't be half as good as this
I hope you never know how much you missed
Dear boy
How much you missed, yeah
Dear boy

Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey

(Paul and Linda McCartney)



We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we've caused you any pain
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain

We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil
And we're so easily called away

Hands across the water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water
Heads across the sky

Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea
And a butter pie
Butter pie?
"The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in a pie."


Hands across the water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water
Heads across the sky

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Hands across the water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water
Heads across the sky

Smile Away

(McCartney)



I was walking down the street the other day
Who did I meet
I met a friend of mine and he did say,
"Man, I can smell your feet a mile away."

Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away

Yeah, Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away

I was walking down the street the other day
Who did I meet
I met a friend of mine and he did say,
"Man, I can smell your breath a mile away."

Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away

Ah, smile away sweetly now
Come on now, sweetly smile away
Yes sir, smile away
Now smile away quietly now
Smile away horribly now
Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yes sir, smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away

Ah, who did I meet
I met a friend of mine and he did say,
"Man, I can smell your teeth a mile away."

Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile, away
Yeah, smile away

Heart of the Country

(Paul and Linda McCartney)



I look high, I look low
I'm looking everywhere I go
Looking for a home in the heart of the country
 
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Looking for a home in the heart of the country

Heart of the country where the holy people grow
Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow
Wo, wo, wo

I want a horse, I want a sheep
I want to get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home in the heart of the country
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Living in a home in the heart of the country

Heart of the country where the holy people grow
Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow
Wo, wo, wo

I want a horse, I got a sheep
I'm gonna get me a good night's sleep
Living in a home in the heart of the country
I'm gonna move, I'm gonna go
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Living in a home in the heart of the country

Heart of the country where the holy people grow
Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow
Wo, wo, wo

Monkberry Moon Delight

(Paul and Linda McCartney)



So I sat in the attic, a piano at my nose
And the wind played a dreadful cantata
Sore was I from a crack of an enemy's hose
And the horrible sound of tomato

Ketchup
Soup and puree
Don't get left behind

Ketchup
Soup and puree
Don't get left behind

When a rattle of rats had awoken
The sinews the nerves and the veins
My piano was boldly outspoken
In attempts to repeat this refrain

So I stood with a knot in my stomach
And I gazed at that terrible sight
Of two young stars(?)concealed in a barrel
Suckin' Monkberry Moon Delight
Monkberry Moon Delight
Monkberry Moon Delight
Monkberry Moon Delight

Well I know my banana is older than the rest
And my hair is a tangled beretta
But I leave my pajamas to Billy Budapest
And I don't get the gist of your letter

Catch up
Catch some kittens
Don't get left behind

Catch up
Catch some kittens
Don't get left behind

Monkberry Moon Delight
Monkberry Moon Delight
Monkberry Moon Delight

Lady let's eat at home
Come on, little lady
Lady let's eat at home
Eat at home
Eat at home

Come on, little lady
Lady, let's eat in bed
Come on, little lady
Lady, let's eat in bed

Long Haired Lady

(Paul and Linda McCartney)



Well, well, well, well, well
Do you love me like you know you ought to do?
Well, well, well, well, well
Or is this the only thing you want me for?

Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about it for some time
Sweet little lass, you are
My long haired lady

Who's the lady that makes that brief occasional laughter?
She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes
Who'll be taking her home when all the dancing is over?
I'm the lucky man she will hypnotize

Long haired lady
Long haired lady

Bees are buzzing around my sweet, delectable baby
Birds are humming about their big surprise
Who's your favorite person, dear phenomenal lady?
I belong to the girl with the flashing eyes

Long haired lady
Long haired lady

Ah, love is long
Love is long, love is long
Ah, sing your song
Love is long, love is long
Ah, when you're wrong
Love is long, love is long
Ah when you're wrong (Win or lose it, into the soul)
Love is long, love is long

Well, well, well, well, well
Do you love me like you know you ought to do?
Well, well, well, well, well
Or is this the only thing you want me for?

Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about it for some time
Sweet little lass, you are
My long haired lady

Ah, love is long
Love is long, love is long
Ah, sing your song
Love is long, love is long
Ah, when you're wrong

Love is long, love is long
Ah when you're wrong (Win or lose it, into the soul)
Love is long, love is long
Ah, sing your song (Win or lose it, into the soul)
Love is long, love is long

The Back Seat of My Car

(McCartney)



Speed along the highway
Honey, I want it my way
But listen to her Daddy's song
"Don't stay out too long"

Ooh, we're just busy hiding
Sitting in the back seat of my car

Looking for a ride and all about
Looking for a ride in and out of town
Strolling around and all about
Looking for a ride in and out of...

The laser lights are pretty
We may end up in Mexico City
But listen to her Daddy's song
Making love is wrong

Ooh, we're just busy hiding
Sitting in the back seat of my car

For we was only hiding
Sitting in the back seat of my car

And when we finished driving
We can say we were late in arriving
And listen to her Daddy's song
We believe that we can't be wrong, yeah

Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong

We can make it to Mexico City
Sitting in the back seat of my car

Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
Oh, we believe that we can't be wrong
(Repeat)

Another Day

(Paul and Linda McCartney)



Ev'ry day she takes a morning bath, she wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair,
It's just another day
Slipping into stockings
Stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
It's just another day

At the office were the papers grow, she takes a break
Drinks another coffee and she finds it hard to stay awake
It's just another day Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
It's just another day
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
It's just another day

So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Til' the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.

Ah - stay,
Don't stand her up.
And he comes, and he stays
But he leaves the next day, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad

As she posts another letter to the sound of five
People gather 'round her and she finds it hard to stay alive
It's just another day
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
It's just another day
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
It's just another day

So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Til' the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.

Ah - stay,
Don't stand her up
And he comes, and he stays
But he leaves the next day, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.

Ev'ry day she takes a morning bath, she wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair,
It's just another day.
Slipping into stockings
Stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
It's just another day.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
It's just another day
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo,
It's just another day.

Oh Woman, Oh Why

(McCartney)



Woman, oh why, why, why, why, why?
What have I done?
Oh, woman, oh where, where, where, where,
Where'd you get that gun?
Yeh, yeh, oh, what have I done?
Ooh, what have I done?

Well, I'll never have no part of all the world, (all the world)
When I told her I was tryin' to break a spell. (break a spell)
But I can't get by, my hands are tied
I don't know why I even bothered to try myself,
'Cause I can't get by, my hands are tied.

Oh, woman, oh why, why, why, why, why?
What have I done?
Oh, woman, oh where, where, where, where,
Where'd you get that gun?
Oh, what have you done?
Ooh, woman, what have you done?

Well, I'm fed up with your lyin' cheatin' ways, (cheatin' ways)
Lord, I'm fed up ev'ry mornin' and ev'ry day. (ev'ry day)
But I can't get by, my hands are tied,
I don't know why I even bothered to try myself,
'Cause I can't get by, my hands are tied.

Oh, woman, oh why, why, why, why, why?
What have I done?
Oh, woman, oh where, where, where, where,
Where'd you get that gun?
Woman, what have, what have I done?
Oh, what have you done?
Woman, what have I done?
