Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Lyrics
[Intro]
(*People talking*)
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
It was twenty years ago today
When Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
[Interlude]
(*Applauding*)
(*People laughing*)
[Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison & Ringo Starr]
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you will enjoy the show
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sit back and let the evening go
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
[Bridge: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
It's wonderful to be here
It's certainly a thrill
You're such a lovely audience
We'd like to take you home with us
We'd love to take you home
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought you might like to know
That the singer's going to sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, yeah
[Outro]
(*Applauding*)
(*People screaming*)
Getting Better Lyrics
[Intro: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
It's getting better all the time
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
I used to get mad at my school (Now, I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool (Now, I can't complain)
You're holding me down (Ah-ah), turning me 'round (Ah-oh)
Filling me up with your rules (Fool, you fool)
[Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can
[Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison, Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting better (Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
[Post-Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
It's getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)
It's getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney & John Lennon, John Lennon & George Harrison]
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can (Fool, you fool)
[Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison, Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
I've got to admit it's getting better (Better)
A little better all the time (It can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better (Better)
It's getting better since you've been mine
Getting so much better all the time
[Post-Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
It's getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)
It's getting better all the time
(Better, better, better)
[Outro: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
Getting so much better all the time
Fixing a Hole Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go
[Chorus]
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right
Where I belong, I'm right, where I belong
See the people standing there who disagree and never win
And wonder why they don't get in my door
[Verse 2]
I'm painting the room in a colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm right
Where I belong, I'm right, where I belong
Silly people run around, they worry me
And never ask me why they don't get past my door
[Verse 3]
I'm taking the time for a number of things
That weren't important yesterday
And I still go
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah
[Outro]
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go, where it will go
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
She’s Leaving Home Lyrics
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside, she is free
[Chorus: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone (Bye-bye)
For so many years
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
"Daddy, our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?"
[Chorus: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone (Bye-bye)
For so many years
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
Friday morning at nine o'clock, she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade
[Chorus: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She (What did we do that was wrong?)
Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied (Bye-bye)
For so many years
[Outro: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
She's leaving home (Bye-bye)
Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanque's Fair, what a scene
Over men and horses, hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire
In this way, Mr. K. will challenge the world
[Verse 2]
The celebrated Mr. K
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the ring, don't be late
Messrs. K. and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight, Mr. Kite is topping the bill
[Instrumental Outro]
Within You Without You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late when they pass away
[Verse 2]
We were talking about the love we all could share, when we find it
To try our best to hold it there with, our love
With our love, we could save the world if they only knew
[Chorus]
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people, who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?
[Chorus]
When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you
[Outro]
(*Laughing*)
When I’m Sixty‐Four Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I get older, losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
[Bridge]
Oooh, you'll be older too (Aaaah)
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
[Verse 2]
I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
[Bridge]
Every summer, we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save (We shall scrimp and save)
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and Dave
[Verse 3]
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four? Woo
Lovely Rita Lyrics
[Intro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
Ah
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Lovely Rita, meter maid
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it gets dark, I tow your heart away
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Standing by a parking meter
When I caught a glimpse of Rita
Filling in a ticket in her little white book
In a cap, she looked much older
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man
[Chorus: Paul McCartney, Lennon, McCartney & Harrison]
Lovely Rita, meter maid
May I inquire discreetly (Lovely Rita)
When are you free to take some tea with me?
(Lovely Rita maid! Ahh-ah-ah)
Rita!
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Took her out and tried to win her
Had a laugh and over dinner
Told her I would really like to see her again (Tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic)
Got the bill and Rita paid it (Tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic)
Took her home, I nearly made it (Tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic)
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two (Tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic, tchic)
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid
Where would I be without you?
Give us a wink and make me think of you
[Outro: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & Paul McCartney]
Lovely Rita, meter maid (Lovely meter maid)
Lovely Rita, meter maid (Rita, meter maid)
Lovely Rita, meter maid (Oh, Lovely Rita, meter, meter maid)
Lovely Rita, meter maid
Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
Ah da, ah da, ah da, ah da
(Believe it!)
Good Morning Good Morning Lyrics
[Intro: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
(*Rooster crowing*)
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
Good morning
[Verse 1: John Lennon]
Nothing to do to save his life, call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day, how's your boy been?
Nothing to do, it's up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's okay
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Good morning, good morning
Good morning
[Verse 2: John Lennon]
Going to work, don't want to go, feeling low down
Heading for home, you start to roam, then you're in town
[Bridge: John Lennon]
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed, it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own, you're in the street
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
After a while, you start to smile, now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school
Nothing has changed, it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's okay
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Good morning, good morning
Good morning
[Guitar Solo: George Harrison]
[Bridge: John Lennon]
People running round, it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town, it's getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and Meet the Wife
[Verse 4: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts, you start to flirt, now you're in gear
Go to a show, you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say, but it's okay
[Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Good morning, good morning, good
[Outro: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut (Ja! Ja!)
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut (Ja!)
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, gut (Gewözei teuer)
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen, good morning
