THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Good Night"

(Lennon/McCartney)

Now it's time to say good night

Good night, sleep tight

Now the sun turns out his light

Good night, sleep tight

Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)

Dream sweet dreams for you

Close your eyes and I'll close mine

Good night, sleep tight

Now the moon begins to shine

Good night, sleep tight

Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)

Dream sweet dreams for you

Mmmmmm

Mmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmmm

Close your eyes and I'll close mine

Good night, sleep tight

Now the sun turns out his light

Good night, sleep tight

Dream sweet dreams for me (Dream sweet)

Dream sweet dreams for you

Good night, good night, everybody

Everybody everywhere

Good night

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Revolution 9"

(Lennon/McCartney)

Well, do it next time.

I forgot about it, George, I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?

Yes.]

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number

Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants

About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire

Everyone of them knew that as time went by

They'd get a little bit older and a litter slower but

It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who's always

Umpteen your father's giving it diddly-i-dee

District was leaving, intended to pay for

Number 9, number 9

Who's to know?

Who was to know?

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

I sustained nothing worse than

Also for example

Whatever you're doing

A business deal falls through

I informed him on the third night

When fortune gives

Number 9, number 9, number 9

People ride, people ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride! Ride!

9, number 9, number 9, number 9

I've missed all of that

It makes me a few days late

Compared with, like, wow!

And weird stuff like that

Taking our sides sometimes

Floral bark

Rouge doctors have brought this specimen

I have nobody's short-cuts, aha…

9, number 9

With the situation

They are standing still

The plan, the telegram

Ooh ooh

Number 9, number

Ooh

A man without terrors from beard to false

As the headmaster reported to me

My son he really can try as they do to find function

Tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high

And his eyes were low

Alright!

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon

Or whatever to price it… yellow underclothes

So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead

Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all

So I said I'd marry, join the fucking navy and went to sea

In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair

I'm not in the mood for whirling

Um da

Aaah

How?

Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping

Birds for birding and fish for fishing

Them for themming and when for whimming

Only to find the night-watchman

Unaware of his presence in the building

Onion soup

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

Industrial output

Financial imbalance

Thrusting it between his shoulder blades

The Watusi

The twist

Eldorado

Take this brother, may it serve you well

Maybe it's nothing

Aaah

Maybe it's nothing

What? What? Oh

Maybe even then

Impervious in London

Could be difficult thing

It's quick like rush for peace is

Because it's so much

It was like being naked

If you became naked

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Cry Baby Cry"

(Lennon/McCartney)

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

The king of Marigold was in the kitchen

Cooking breakfast for the queen

The queen was in the parlour

Playing piano for the children of the king

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

The king was in the garden

Picking flowers for a friend who came to play

The queen was in the playroom

Painting pictures for the childrens holiday

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling

And arriving late for tea

The duke was having problems

With a message at the local bird and bee

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table

For a seance in the dark

With voices out of nowhere

Put on specially by the children for a lark

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry cry cry cry baby

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

Cry baby cry

Cry cry cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Savoy Truffle"

(Harrison)

Creme tangerine and montelimat

A ginger sling with a pineapple heart

A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news

But you'll have to have them all pulled out

After the Savoy truffle

Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart

I feel your taste all the time we're apart

Coconut fudge really blows down those blues

But you'll have to have them all pulled out

After the Savoy truffle

You might not feel it now

But when the pain cuts through

You're going to know and how

The sweat is going to fill your head

When it becomes too much

You're going to shout aloud

But you'll have to have them all pulled out

After the Savoy truffle.

You know that what you eat you are

But what is sweet now, turns so sour

We all know Ob-La-Di-Bla-Da

But can you show me, where you are?

Creme tangerine and montelimat

A ginger sling with a pineapple heart

A coffee dessert--yes you know its good news

But you'll have to have them all pulled out

After the Savoy truffle

Yes you'll have to have them all pulled out

After the Savoy truffle

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Honey Pie"

(Lennon/McCartney)

She was a working girl

North of England way

Now she's hit the big time

In the USA

And if she could only hear me

This is what I'd say

Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't you please come home

Oh honey pie my position is tragic

Come and show me the magic

Of your Hollywood song

You became a legend of the silver screen

And now the thought of meeting you

Makes me weak in the knee

Oh honey pie you are driving me frantic

Sail across the Atlantic

To be where you belong

Honey pie come back to me, oh

Yeah

I like it like that, oh ah

I like this kind of hot kind of music

Hot kind of music

Play it to me, play it to me, honey, the blues

Will the wind that blew her boat

Across the sea

Kindly send her sailing back to me

Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't you please come home

Come, come back to me, honey pie

Oooooooooooh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Honey pie, honey pie

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Revolution 1"

(Lennon/McCartney)

[Ah, take 18.

OK!]

You say you want a revolution

Well you know

We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution

Well you know

We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction

Don't you know you can count me out in

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you got a real solution

Well you know

We don't all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well you know

We're doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you'll change the constitution

Well you know

We all love to change your head

You tell me it's the institution

Well you know

You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao

You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Alright, alright, alright

Alright

Alright

"Mother Nature's Son"

(Lennon/McCartney)

Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's son

All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone

Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise

Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo

Find me in my field of grass, Mother Nature's son

Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun

Yes I'm lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why

In the morning wanna die

In the evening wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why

My mother was of the sky

My father was of the earth

But I am of the universe

And you know what it's worth

I'm lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh 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

Black cloud crossed my mind

Blue mist round my soul

Feel so suicidal

Even hate my rock 'n' roll

Wanna die yeah wanna die

Half of what I say is meaningless

But I say it just to reach you, Julia

Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me

So I sing a song of love, Julia

Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me

So I sing a song of love, Julia

Her hair of floating 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

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

Da da da da da da da

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Don't Pass Me By"

(Starkey)

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 any more?

I hear the clock are ticking

On the mantel shelf

See the hands are moving

But I'm by myself

I wonder where you are tonight

And why I'm by myself

I don't see you

Does it mean you don't love me any more?

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

How I hate to see you go

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue

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

How I hate to see you go

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Rocky Raccoon"

(Lennon/McCartney)

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota

There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

And one day his woman ran off with another guy

Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that

He said I'm gonna get that boy

So one day he walked into town

Booked himself a room in the local saloon

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 Magil and she called herself Lil

But everyone knew her as Nancy

Now she and her man who called himself Dan

Were in the next room at the hoe down

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, ah

D'da d'da d'da da da da

D'da d'da d'da da da da

D'da d'da d'da da d'da d'da d'da d'da

Do do do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do d'do d'do d'do d'do

Do do do do do do

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

And 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, ah

Oh yeah, yeah

D'do d'do d'do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do d'do d'do d'do d'do

Do do do do do do

D'do d'do d'do do do do, come on, Rocky boy

D'do d'do d'do do do do, come on, Rocky boy

D'do d'do d'do do do d'do d'do d'do d'do

The story of Rocky there

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Piggies"

(Harrison)

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

Everywhere 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

[One more time...]

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Blackbird"

(Lennon/McCartney)

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.
