The Beatles Lyrics

[The Beatles]

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You) (live at the BBC)

'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

And if you ever say goodbye

And if you ever even try

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you



I'm gonna love you more and more every day

I'm gonna love you more and more every way

And if you ever say goodbye

And if you ever even try

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you



I'm gonna tell your Mother

Tell your Pappa too

So they'll know exactly

What I'm gonna do



If you ever say goodbye

If you ever even try

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

Wah hoo!



I'm gonna tell your Mother

Tell your Pappa too

So they'll know exactly

What I'm gonna do



If you ever say goodbye

If you ever even try

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

I'm gonna sit right down and cry over you

[The Beatles]

Penny Lane (alternate version)

n Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

Of every head he's had the pleasure to know

And all the people that come and go

Stop and say hello



On the corner is a banker with a motorcar

The little children laugh at him behind his back

And the banker never wears a mack

In 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



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

A four of fish and finger pies

In summer, meanwhile back



Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout

The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

And though she feels as if she's in a play

She is anyway



In 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



[What a suitable ending, I think.



What happened?]

[The Beatles]

A Taste Of Honey (live at the BBC)

taste of honey

Tasting much sweeter than wine (Do do'n'do, do do'n'do)



I dream of your first kiss

And them I feel upon my lips again



A taste of honey (A taste of honey)

Tasting much sweeter than wine



I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back for the honey and you (Do do'n'do, do do'n'do)



Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart

There it lingers still, though we're far apart



That taste of honey (A taste of honey)

Tasting much sweeter than wine (Do do'n'do, do do'n'do)



I will return, yes I will return

I'll come back (He'll come back) for the honey (For the honey) and you

[The Beatles]

I Am The Walrus (take 16)

take 16)

Woo...



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

Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday

Man you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob



Mister City Policeman sitting

Pretty little policemen 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 ... oh



Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye

Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess

Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo 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, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo goo joob



Expert textpert 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 pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower

Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna

Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen

I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob

Goo goo gooooooooooo jooooob goo goo

Jooba jooba jooba jooba

Jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba

Jooba jooba jooba jooba

Wait

t's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how, I've been alone



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



But if your heart breaks

Don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong

Hold on, I won't delay



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me



It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how, I've been alone



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



I feel as though

You ought to know

That I've been good

As good as I can be

And if you do

I'll trust in you

And know that you

Will wait for me



But if your heart breaks

Don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong

Hold on, I won't delay



Wait till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we've cried



It's been a long time

Now I'm coming back home

I've been away now

Oh how, I've been alone

Blackbird (take 4)

take 4)

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



Mmmmuuuuu....



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 fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night



All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise (You were)

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

[The Beatles]

Octopus's Garden

'd like to be under the sea

In an octopus's garden in the shade

He'd let us in, knows where we've been

In his octopus's garden in the shade



I'd ask my friends to come and see

An octopus's garden with me

I'd like to be under the sea

In an octopus's garden in the shade



We would be warm below the storm

In our little hideaway beneath the waves

Resting our head on the sea bed

In an octopus's garden near a cave



We would sing and dance around

Because we know we can't be found

I'd like to be under the sea

In an octopus's garden in the shade



We would shout and swim about

The coral that lies beneath the waves

(Lies beneath the ocean waves)

Oh what joy for every girl and boy

Knowing they're happy and they're safe

(Happy and they're safe)



We would be so happy you and me

No one there to tell us what to do

I'd like to be under the sea

In an octopus's garden with you

In an octopus's garden with you

In an octopus's garden with you

[The Beatles]

The Beatles Christmas Record

o! Good King Wencelas looked out

On the feast of Stephen, ho!

As the slow ray round-around

Deep and crisp and crispy

Brightly show the boot last night

On the mossty cruel

Henry Hall and David Lloyd

Betty Grable too



Hell, this is John speaking with his voice. (Huh!) We're all very happy to be able to talk to you like this on this little bit of plastic. This record reaches you at the end of a really gear year for us and it's all due to you. When we made our first record on Parlophone towards the end of 1962, we hoped everybody would like what had already been our type of music fro serveral years already! But we had no idea of all the gear things in store for us. It all happened really when Please Please Me became a Number One hit and after that, well cor' the blimeys, heave the mo'. Our biggest thrill of the year, well, I suppose it must have been topping the bill at the London Palladium and then, only a couple of days later, being invited to take part in the Royal Variety Show. This time last year we were all dead chuffed because "Love Me Do" got into the Top Twenty and we can't believe really that so many things have happened in between already. Just before I pass you over to Paul (Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!) I'd Like to say thank you to all the Beatle peoplee who have written to me during the year and everybody who sent gifts and cards for my birthday, which I'm trying to forget, in October. (Huh!) I'd like to reply personally to everybody but I just haven't enough pens. In the meantime...



Garry crimble to you

Garry mimble to you

Getty bable, dear Christmas

Happy birthday me too



This is Paul here. Everything that John said goes for me too, especially the bit about birthday cards and parcels, 'cause all our homes and offices got stacks of mail last June. Ow! Ha ha! When it was my birthday. Anyway, we're all dead pleased by the way you treated us in 1963 and we try to do everything we can to please you with the type of songs we'll write and record next year. Oh yeah, somebody asked us if we still like Jelly Babies? Well... we used to like them, in fact we loved them and said so in one of the papers. You see, ever since then we've been getting them in boxes, packets and crates. Anyway, we've gone right off Jelly Babies, you see, but we still like peppermint creams, chocolate drops and dolly mixtures and all that sort of things. (Yes! Yes! Oh Yes!)



Well, lots of people asked us what we enjoy best. You see, concerts and television or recording? We like doing stage shows 'cause, you know, it's great to hear an audience enjoying themseleves. But the thing we like best, I think so anyway, is going into the recording studio (Yes, we enjoy that very kindly) to make new records, which is what we've been doing all day before we started on this special message. Well, what we like to hear more is one of our songs, you know, taking shape in a recording studio, ah, one of the ones John and I have written and then listening to the tapes afterwards to hear how it all worked out, you see. Well, I'm running out of time and people are telling me to stop, (Stop! Stop!) and Ringo, (Stop! Stop shouting those animals!) so... I'll finish off now with it wishing everyone happy crimble and a merry New Year and especially all the ones who paid the subscription.



Ja, das wird uns danke schön

Und denn gruss von even

Ja, denn gruss von even schon

Ja, das wird wunderschön, boy

Danke schön



Ja, Ringo!



Hell, Ringo here. As you know I was the last member to join the Beatles. I started to play drums in the group 1962, ha ha ha! Have been in a couple of other groups... (Oh, just wish the people a merry, happy, go on, for Christmas, Christmas) Merry, happy New Year, and folks, happy Christmas and may, may everything you wish be granted. (Sing, sing us Wenceslas, King Wenceslas) King Wenceslas...



Well, good King Wenceslas looked out (Oh ho!)

On the feast of Stephen (Hey!)

When the snow was on the ground (Yeah!)

Deep and crisp and even (Oh yeah!)

Hooray!



Thank you, Ringo! Thank you, Ringo! We'll phone you! (Ha ha ha!) I'm George Harrison. Nobody else said anything yet about our fan club secretaries, Ann Collingham and Bettina Rose, not to mention Freda Kelly in Liverpool. (Good old Freda!) So on behalf of us all, I'd just like to say a great, big thank you to Ann, Bettina and Freda for all the hard work they've done and we just hope you can go on pleasing us for a long time, 'cause it's gonna cause it to your reactions are to our records that really matters, and I just like to say...



Brightly was the schon at night

Though the winter cruel

When a pork pie came inside

Gathering winter cruel



Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer (Ho!)

Had a very shiny nose (A shiny nose!)

When everybody picked it

Ha ha ha ha

Oh yeah! Oh!

Rudolph, the red nosed Ringo (Rudolph!)

Had a very shiny nose



Merry Christmas everybody!

[The Beatles]

Girl

s there anybody going to listen to my story

All about the girl who came to stay?

She's the kind of girl you want so much, it makes you sorry

Still, you don't regret a single day



Ah, girl

Girl, girl



When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her

She will turn to me and start to cry

And she promises the earth to me and I believe her

After all this times I don't know why



Ah, girl

Girl, girl



She's the kind of girl who puts you down

When friends are there

You feel a fool

When you say she's looking good

She acts as if it's understood

She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh



Girl

Girl, girl



Was she told when she was young that fame would lead to pleasure?

Did she understand it when they said

That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure

Will she still believe it when he's dead?



Oh girl

Girl, girl



Ah, girl

Girl, girl
