The Beatles Lyrics

[The Beatles]

Act Naturally

hey're gonna put me in the movies

They're gonna make a big star out of me

We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely

And all I gotta do is act naturally



Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star

Might win an Oscar you can never tell

The movies gonna make me a big star

Cos I can play the part so well



Well I hope you'll come and see me in the movies

Then I know that you will plainly see

The biggest fool that ever hit the big time

And all I gotta do is act naturally



We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely

And begging down upon his bended knee

I'll play the part and I won't need rehearsing

All I have to do is act naturally



Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star

Might win an Oscar you can never tell

The movies gonna make me a big star

Cos I can play the part so well



Well I hope you'll come and see me in the movies

Then I know that you will plainly see

The biggest fool that ever hit the big time

And all I gotta do is act naturally

[The Beatles]

Nowhere Man

e's a real Nowhere Man

Sitting in his nowhere land

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody



Doesn't have a point of view

Knows not where he's going to

Isn't he a bit like you and me?



Nowhere Man, please listen (Ah la la la la)

You don't know what you're missing (Ah la la la la)

Nowhere Man (Ah la la la la)

The world is at your command (Ah la la la la la)



He's as blind as he can be

Just sees what he wants to see

Nowhere Man, can you see me at all?



Nowhere Man, don't worry (Ah la la la la)

Take your time, don't hurry (Ah la la la la)

Leave it all (Ah la la la la)

Till somebody else lends you a hand (Ah la la la la)



Doesn't have a point of view

Knows not where he's going to

Isn't he a bit like you and me?



Nowhere Man, please listen (Ah la la la la)

You don't know what you're missing (Ah la la la la)

Nowhere Man (Ah la la la la)

The world is at your command (Ah la la la la)



He's a real Nowhere Man

Sitting in his nowhere land

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

[The Beatles]

I'll Be Back

ou know if you break my heart I'll go

But I'll be back again

Cos I told you once before goodbye

But I came back again



I love you so

I'm the one who wants you

Yes, I'm the one

Who wants you, oh ho, oh ho, oh



You could find better things to do

Than to break my heart again

This time I will try to show that I'm

Not trying to pretend



I thought that you would realize

That if I ran away from you

That you would want me too

But I got a big surprise

Oh ho, oh ho, oh



You could find better things to do

Than to break my heart again

This time I will try to show that I'm

Not trying to pretend



I wanna go

But I hate to leave you

You know I hate to

Leave you, oh ho, oh ho, oh



You, if you break my heart I'll go

But I'll be back again

[The Beatles]

All You Need Is Love

ove, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love



There's nothing you can do that can't be done

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung

Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game

It's easy

No one you can save that can't be saved

Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time

It's easy



All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need



All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need



Nothing you can know that isn't known

Nothing you can see that isn't shown

Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

It's easy



All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need



All you need is love (All together, now!)

All you need is love (Everybody!)

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

Yesterday (live at the Blackpool Night Out show)

Thank you very much, thank you.



We'd like to do something now which

we've never ever done before

and it's a track off our new LP.



New LP...



And this song's called "Yesterday".

And so for Paul McCartney of Liverpool,

opportunity knocks!



Thank you, George.]



Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday



Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly



Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday



Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday



Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday



Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

[The Beatles]

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (alternate version)

Yes sir, take one of the Magic Jumbo Band!]



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 bra

La-la how the life goes on

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

La-la how the life goes on



Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellers stores

Buys a twenty carat golden ring

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door

And when he gives it to her she begins to sing



Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

La-la how the life goes on

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

La-la 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's a singer with the band



Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

La-la how the life goes on

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

La-la 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's a singer with the band



Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

La-la how the life goes on

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

La-la how the life goes on

Ob-la-di-la-da



[Ob-la-di-la-da, brother.]

Not Guilty (take 102)

take 102)

Not guilty

For getting in your way, while you try to steal the day

Not guilty

I'm not nodding for the rest, I'm not trying to steal you vest

I end up trying to be smart I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry for your aging head, but like you heard me said

Not guilty



Though you signing me a writ, while I'm trying to do my bit

I don't expect to take your hoard I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you're underfed, but like you heard me said

Not guilty



Not guilty

For looking like a freak, making friends with every Sikh

Not guilty

For leading you astray, on the road to Masalay

I won't upset the apple cart I only want what I can get

I'm really sorry that you've been mislead, but like you heard me said

Not guilty

Christmas 1968

ello, this is a big "Hi" and a sincere merry Christmas from yours truly, Ringo Starr.



Happy new year, happy Christmas

Happy Easter, happy autumn

Happy Micklemus, everybody

Happy Christmas, everybody to you



I'd like to wish everybody happy Christmas

This year of 1968 going to 69

Happy Christmas, happy new year

All the best to you from here



Ah ha!



I'd like to wish everybody

Happy Christmas, happy new year

From there to here

Happy new year, happy new year

Happy new year, happy new year



When I get to the bottom

I go back to the top of the slide

Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride

Till I get to the bottom and I see you again



Once upon a time, there were two ballons called Jock and Yono. They were strictly in love, bound to happen in a million years. They were together man. Unfortunate time table, they seemed to have previous experience which kept calling them one way or another. You know how it is. But they battled on against overwhelming oddities. Including some of their beast friends. Being in love, they clung together even more man. But some of the poisonous monsters' outdated boss. Lordy ape claws did stick slightly and they occasionally had to resort to the dry cleaners, luckily. This did not kill them and they weren't banned from the Olympic Games. They lived hopefully ever after and who could blame them?



Well, here we are again, another Fab Christmas. Christmas time is here again, ain't been around since last year. And we'd like to take this opportunity, all the way from America, to say happy Christmas to you our faithful, beloved fans all over the world who have made our life worth living. And over here I have Mr. Malcolm Evans who through thick and thin would surely like to say a word of greeting at this festive occasion.



"Merry Christmas children everywhere."



At the the first stroke, it will be...



...Ringo Starr, Thank you!



"Good evening."



"Hello me dear. I didn't know you were coming."



"I'm not surprised."



"Well, I am! Certainly am!"



"I would have thought so myself."



"Well, if you ask me, I think it's insane."



"Occasionally."



"Yes, me too. Twice a week sometimes."



"Fourteen and six."



"Nineteen and five to save me if you don't mind."



"Yes, I know."



"Don't you say yes to me! I'm telling you!"



"This is a private line, you know."



"Private line? I've been on this line for two years."



"Well, it's my proud pleasure tonight to introduce one of the most versatile performers in our career. And he's come all the way from Stokely Carmichel's-on-sea. And I hope you're going to like him. Let's give him a big hand."



Happy new year, happy Christmas

Happy Easter, happy autumn

Happy Micklemus, everybody

Happy Christmas, everybody to you



Once upon a pool table there lived a short-haired butcher's boy by the way of Ostergard. It comes in Sentencepoolararrowic Airport her father was in a long story cut short in the middle of his life sentence. We're indebted to the Colloquial office for its immediate disposal of her honorwitz, including, I might add, hoc virtallo a totem. On the other handbag I mean to say l'amoure ne soome tu joure realistic, stricitly speaking. For this film is about an hourglass houseboat.

How close can you gettysburg and ever underly council ya originally a birdbath feeling...

"We have a special guest here this evening, Mr. Tiny Tim. I'd like to ask him to say a few words."



"Oh hello to you nice Beatles. Ah it's so wonderful, what a thrill it is talking here. Ah in Mr. Harrison's presence, Mr. Weiss's presence, and all his nice wonderful friends. And the thing is, I just wanna say merry Christmas to you all. And ah, a happy New Year."



"Thank you, Tiny. Would you like to sing us a little song?"



"Ah I'd love to. Here's a song I did in 1966 in front of Miss Jill for the first time. And I did this in Albert Hall, and what a thrill it was, ah, to this then, and now. Exactly the way I did it then."



He's a, ooh, real nowhere man

Living in his nowhere land

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody



Hasn't got a point of view

Knows not where he's going to

Isn't he a bit like you and me?



Nowhere man, (Yes?) don't worry

Take you time, don't hurry

Nowhere man, the world's at your command, ooh



He's a, huh huh, real nowhere man

Living in his nowhere land

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody, ooh, ooh



"Thank you! Tiny, thank you! And God bless you, Tiny."



"God bless you all. Oh, God bless you all."

Mean Mr. Mustard (demo)

demo)

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park

Shaves in the dark trying to save paper

Sleeps in a hole in the road

Saving up to buy some clothes

Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose

Such a mean old man

Such a mean old man



His sister Shirley works in a shop

She never stops, she's a go-getter

Takes him out to look at the queen

It's the only place that he's ever been

Always shouts out something obscene

You such a dirty old man

You such a dirty old man



Hey, mean Mister Mustard, such a dirty dirty

Mean Mister Mustard, such a dirty dirty

Mean Mister Mustard, such a dirty dirty man



Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park

Shaves in the dark trying to save paper

Sleeps in a hole in the road

Saving up to buy some clothes

Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose

Such a mean old man

Such a mean old man

Don't Ever Change (live at the BBC)

ou never wear a stitch of lace

Your powder's never on your face

You're always wearing jeans except on Sunday

So please don't ever change

Now don't you ever change

I kinda like you just the way you are

But when it's time to make romance

Your kisses let me know you're not a tom-boy

So please don't ever change

Now don't you ever change

Just promise me you're always gonna to be

As sweet as you are



I love you when you're happy

I love you when you're blue

I love you when you're mad at me

So how can I get tired of you

They know how to treat guys mean

But you would rather die than ever hurt me

So please don't ever change

Now don't you ever change

Just promise me you're always gonna to be

As sweet as you are



Please don't ever change

If I Fell

f I fell in love with you

Would you promise to be true

And help me understand

Cos I've been in love before

And I found that love was more

Than just holding hands



If I give my heart to you

I must be sure

From the very start

That you would love me more than her



If I trust in you oh please

Don't run and hide

If I love you too oh please

Don't hurt my pride like her

Cos I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain



So I hope you see that I

Would love to love you

And that she will cry

When she learns we are two

Cos I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain



So I hope you see that I

Would love to love you

And that she will cry

When she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you
