Back in the U.S.S.R. (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC

Didn't get to bed last night

On the way the paper bag was on my knee

Man I had a dreadful flight

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.

You don't know how lucky you are boy

Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place

Gee it's good to be back home

Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case

Honey disconnect the phone

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.

You don't know how lucky you are boy

Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out

They leave the West behind

And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

That Georgia's always on my mind.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.

You don't know how lucky you are boys

Back in the U.S.S.R.

Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south

Take me to your daddy's farm

Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out

Come and keep your comrade warm.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.

You don't know how lucky you are boys

Back in the U.S.S.R.

Dear Prudence (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence see the sunny skies

The wind is low the birds will sing

that you are part of everything

Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Dear Prudence like a little child

The clouds will be a daisy chain

So let me see you smile again

Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Glass Onion (Lennon/McCartney) topo

I told you about strawberry fields

You know the place where nothing is real

Well here's another place you can go

Where everything flows.

Looking through the bent backed tulips

To see how the other half live

Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the walrus and me-man

You know that we're as close as can be-man

Well here's another clue for you all

The walrus was Paul.

Standing on the cast iron shore-yeah

Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet-yeah

Looking through a glass onion.

I told you about the fool on the hill

I tell you man he living there still

Well here's another place you can be

Listen to me.

Fixing a hole in the ocean

Trying to make a dove-tail joint-yeah

Looking through a glass onion.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Lennon/McCartney) topo

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.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Lala how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellers store

Buys a twenty carat golden ring

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door

And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.

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

Molly lets the children lend a hand

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face

And in the evening she's a singer with the band.

And if you want some fun-take Obladi Oblada.

The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill (Lennon/McCartney) topo

What did you kill

Bungalow Bill?

He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun

In case of accidents he always took his mom

He's the all American bullet-headed saxon mother's son.

All the children sing

Hey Bungalow Bill

What did you kill

Bungalow Bill?

Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies

Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise

So Captain Marvel zapped in right between the eyes

All the children sing

Hey, Bungalow Bill

What did you kill

Bungalow Bill?

The children asked him if to kill was not a sin

Not when he looked so fierce, his mother butted in

If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him

All the children sing

Hey, Bungalow Bill

What did you kill

Bungalow Bill?

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Harrison) topo

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love

I don't know how someone controlled you

They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted

You were perverted too

I don't know how you were inverted

No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

Look at you all...

Still my guitar gently weeps.

Happiness is a Warm Gun (Lennon/McCartney) topo

She's not a girl who misses much

Do do do do do do do do

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand

Like a lizard on a window pane.

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors

On his hobnail boots

Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy

Working overtime

A soap impression of his wife which he ate

And donated to the Nation Trust.

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Down to the bits that I left uptown

I need a fix cause I'm going down

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun.

Happiness is a warm gun

When I hold you in my arms

And I feel my finger on your trigger

I know no one can do me no harm

Because happiness is a warm gun

-Yes it is.

Martha My Dear (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Martha my dear though I spend my days in conversation

Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you

Silly Girl.

Take a good look around you

Take a good look you're bound to see

That you and me were meant to be for each other

Silly girl.

Hold your hand out you silly girl see what you've done

When you find yourself in the thick of it

Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you

Silly girl.

Martha my dear you have always been my inspiration

Please

Be good to me Martha my love

Don't forget me Martha my dear.

I'm so tired (Lennon/McCartney) topo

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink

I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink

I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink

No,no,no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do

I'm so tired my mind is set on you

I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do

You'd say I'm putting you on

But it's no joke, it's doing me harm

You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain

You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane

You know I'd give you everything I've got

for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset

Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette

And curse Sir Walter Raleigh

He was such a stupid get.

Blackbird (Lennon/McCartney) topo

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.

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

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

Piggies (Harrison) topo

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.

Rocky Raccoon (Lennon/McCartney) topo

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.

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.

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.

Don't Pass Me By (Starkey) topo

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 a'ticking

On the mantel shelf

See the hands a'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

I'm sorry that I doubted you

I was so unfair

You were in a car crash

And you lost your hair

You said you would be late

About an hour or two

I said that's alright I'm waiting here

Just waiting to hear from you.

Why don't we do it in the road? (Lennon/McCartney) topo

No one will be watching us

Why don't we do it in the road?

I Will (Lennon/McCartney) topo

Who knows how long I've loved you

You know I love you still

Will I wait a lonely lifetime

If you want me to--I will.

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

You know I will

I will.

Julia (Lennon/McCartney) topo

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

Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me

So I sing a song of love, Julia

Hum hum hum hum...calls me

So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia

Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

And now the thought of meeting you

Makes me weak in the knee.

Sail across the Atlantic

To be where you belong.

Across the sea

Kindly send her sailing back to me.

After the Savoy truffle.

Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart

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

--Creme tangerine.

You know that what you eat you are,

But what is sweet now, turns so sour--

We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da

But can you show me, where you are?..
