Come Together
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Here come old flat top.

He say. "One and one and one is three."
Got to be good looking 'cause he so hard to see.
Come together right now over me.

Something
(George Harrisson)
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
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Joan was quizzical,
studied pataphysical science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a testtube,
oh, oh, oh, oh.
Maxwell Edison,
majoring in medicine,
calls her on the phone:
"Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?"
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 scene.
She tells Max to stay
when the class has gone away.
So he waits behind
writing fifty times "I must not be so."
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. Thirtyone 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.
The judge does not agree
and he tells them so.
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.
Silver hammer.
Oh! Darling
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
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,
well, you know I nearly broke down and cried.
When you told me
you didn't need me anymore,
well, 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.
Believe me, darling.
When you told me
you didn't need me anymore,
well, you know I nearly broke down and cried.
When you told me
you didn't need me anymore,
well, you know, I nearly fell down and died.
Oh darling, please believe me,
I'll never let you down.
Oh, believe me, darling.
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.
Octopus's Garden
(Richard Starkey)
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
I want you.
I want you so bad.
I want you.
I want you so bad,
it's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
I want you.
I want you so bad, babe.
I want you.
I want you so bad,
it's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
I want you.
I want you so bad, babe.
I want you.
You know I want you so bad,
it's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
I want you.
I want you so bad.
I want you.
I want you so bad,
it's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
I want you.
I want you so bad.
I want you.
I want you so bad,
it's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
She's so heavy, heavy.
Here Comes the Sun
(George Harrisson)
Here comes the sun
Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It’s alright
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
Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It’s alright
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun
Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It’s alright
Sun, sun, sun
Here it comes x 5
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun
Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun and I say
It’s alright
Here comes the sun
Doo doo doo doo
Here comes the sun
It’s alright
It’s alright
Because
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Ah, 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, ah, ah
You Never Give Me Your Money
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
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!
Ah Ah
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and 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, came true today.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
all good children go to heaven.
Sun King
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Here comes the Sun King.
Ev'rybody's laughing
ev'rybody's happy.
Here comes the Sun King.
Quando paramucho mi amore de felice carathon.
Mundo paparazzi mi amore cicce verdi parasol.
Questo abrigado tantamucho que canite carousel.
Mean Mr. Mustard
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Polythene Pam
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Well, you should see Polythene Pam,
she's so goodlooking but she looks like a man.
Well, you should see her in drag,
dressed in her 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 that makes the "News of the World."
Yes, you could say she was attractively built. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
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 at fifteen clubs a day,
and though she thought I knew the answer,
well, I knew what 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
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
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
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
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 invitations.
And in the middle of the celebrations,
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
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
Her Majesty
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
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 wanna tell her that I love her a lot,
but I gotta get a belly full of wine.
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl,
someday I'm gonna make her mine.
Oh yeah, someday I'm gonna make her mine.
