Why Don't We Do It In The Road (take 4)

(take 4)

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

No one will be watching us

Why don't we do it in the road?



Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Yeah, why don't we do it in the road?

No one will be watching us

Why don't we do it in the road?



Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

No one will be watching us

Why don't we do it in the road?



Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?

People won't be watching us

Why don't we do it in the road?



Why don't we do it in the road?

Run For Your Life

Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl

Than to be with another man

You better keep your head, little girl

Or I won't know where I am



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl



Well I know that I'm a wicked guy

And I was born with a jealous mind

And I can't spend my whole life

Trying just to make you toe the line



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl



Let this be a sermon

I mean everything I've said

Baby, I'm determined

And I'd rather see you dead



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl



I'd rather see you dead, little girl

Than to be with another man

You better keep your head, little girl

Or you won't know where I am



You better run for your life if you can, little girl

Hide your head in the sand little girl

Catch you with another man

That's the end ah little girl

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah (fade out)

Mother Nature's Son (take 2)

(take 2)

[Can you take this off my voice, it's got like a speaker,

I can hear.

Ah, thank you.

OK, leave it on that, good.]



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



Mmmmmmuuuuuu



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

Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun



Mmmmmmuuuuuu

Do do do

Ooo do do

The Long And Winding Road

The long and winding road

That leads to your door

Will never disappear

I've seen that road before

It always leads me here

Leads me to your door



The wild and windy night

That the rain washed away

Has left a pool of tears

Crying for the day

Why leave me standing here

Let me know the way



Many times I've been alone

And many times I've cried

Anyway you'll never know

The many ways I've tried



And still they lead me back

To the long, winding road

You left me standing here

A long, long time ago

Don't leave me waiting here

Lead me to you door



But still they lead me back

To the long, winding road

You left me standing here

A long, long time ago

Don't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me wait)

Lead me to you door

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

A Day In The Life (take 1, 2 and take 6 overdub)

(take 1)

[Not the micro of the piano's quite low, is it?

Just keep like the maracas.

You know all those pianos.

OK, you're on.]



[Sugar plum fairy, sugar plum fairy.]



(take 2)

I read the news today oh boy

About a lucky man who made the grade

And though the news was rather sad

Well I just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car

He didn't notice that the lights had changed

A crowd of people stood and stared

They'd seen his face before

Nobody was really sure

If he was from the House of Lords

I saw a film today oh boy

The English Army had just won the war

A crowd of people turned away

But I just had to look

Having read the book

I'd love to turn you on



[4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24]



(take 6 overdub)

Woke up, fell out of bed

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

Everybody spoke and I went into a dream

[Oh shit!]



(take 2)

I read the news today oh boy

Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

And though the holes were rather small

They had to count them all

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

I'd love to turn you



(crossfade into orchestral crescendos)



[Really, I... See, the worst thing about doing this about that we're doing tonight, like this is, I think, at first people, sort of, a bit suspicious, you know, come on, what you are up to?] (fade out)

Happiness Is A Warm Gun

She's not a girl who misses much

Do do do do do do do do, oh yeah

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 National Trust



Down

I need a fix cos I'm going down

Down to the bits that I left uptown

I need a fix cos I'm going down



Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun

Mother Superior jump the gun



Happiness is a warm gun (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)

Happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)

When I hold you in my arms (Oo-oo oh yeah)

And I feel my finger on your trigger (Oo-oo oh yeah)

I know no one can do me no harm (Oo-oo oh yeah)

Because happiness is a warm gun, mama (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)

Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)

Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun (Happiness bang, bang, shoot, shoot)

Well, don't you know happiness is a warm gun, mama? (Happiness is a warm gun, yeah)

Hey Bulldog

Sheepdog

Standing in the rain

Bullfrog

Doing it again

Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles

What makes you think you're something special when you smile?



Child-like

No one understands

Jack knife

In your sweaty hands

Some kind of innocence is measured out in years

You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears



You can talk to me

You can talk to me

You can talk to me, if you're lonely you can talk to me



Yeah hey, oh!

Ho, ho!

Yeah!

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Ho, ho!



Big man (Yeah)

Walking in the park

Wigwam

Frightened of the dark

Some kind of solitude is measured out in you

You think you know me but you haven't got a clue



You can talk to me

You can talk to me

You can talk to me, if you're lonely you can talk to me

Hey!



Wahoo woof! Woof!



Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!

Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!



[Hey man, what's that noise?



Woof!



What d'you say?



I said woof!



D'you know anymore?



Wooaah ha ha ha!



You've got it, that's great! That's right! That's it, man, hoo!



Give it to me, man, hurry! I've got ten children, ho!



Ah ho! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!



Quiet boy, quiet!



OK.]



Hey bulldog!

Hey bulldog!

For You Blue

[Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members.]



Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you

Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true

I love you more than ever girl I do



I want you in the morining girl I love you

I want you at the moment I feel blue

I'm living every moment girl for you



[Bop. Bop cat bop.

Go Johnny go.

There go the twelve bar blues.



Elmo James got nothing on this baby.]



I've loved you from the moment I saw you

You looked at me that's all you had to do

I feel it now I hope you feel it too



Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you

Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true

I love you more than ever girl I do

Living the blues

Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical

Science in the home

Late nights all alone with a test-tube ohh oh oh oh

Maxwell Edison majoring in medicinem

Calls her on the phone

Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?

But as she's getting ready to go

A knock comes on the door



Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

Came down upon her head

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

Made sure that she was dead



Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again

Teacher gets annoyed

Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away

So he waits behind

Writing 50 times "I must not be so" oh oh oh

But when she turns her back on the boy

He creeps up from behind



Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

Came down upon her head

Do do do do do

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

Made sure that she was dead



P.C. Thirty-One said "We caught a dirty one"

Maxwell stands alone

Painting testimonial pictures ohh oh oh oh

Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery

Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)

The judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh

But as the words are leaving his lips

A noise comes from behind



Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

Came down upon his head

Do do do do do

Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer

Made sure that he was dead

Wow wow wow oh!

Do do do do do



Silver hammer Max

Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you

But you know there's always rain in my heart (In my heart)

I do all the pleasing with you, it's so hard to reason

With you, whoah yeah, why do you make me blue



Last night I said these words to my girl

I know you never even try, girl

C'mon (C'mon), c'mon (C'mon), c'mon (C'mon), c'mon (C'mon)

Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you

That'll Be The Day (performed by The Quarrymen, 1958)

Well that'll be the day

When you say goodbye

Yeah that'll be the day

When you make me cry

You say you're gonna leave

You know it's a lie

Cos that'll be the day

When I die.



Well you gave me all your loving

And all your turtle doving

All your hugs and kisses

And your money too

You say you love me baby

Still you tell me maybe

That somebody, well I'll be through



Well that'll be the day

When you make me cry

That'll be the day

When you say goodbye

You say you're gonna leave

You know it's a lie

Cos that'll be the day

When I die



Yeah that'll be the day

When you say goodbye

Yeah that'll be the day

When you make me cry

You say you're gonna leave

You know it's a lie

Cos that'll be the day

When I die



Well when Cupid shot his dart

He shot it at your heart

So if we'll ever part

And I'll leave you

You say and hold me

And you tell me boldly

That some day, well I'll be through



Well that'll be the day

When you say goodbye

Yeah that'll be the day

When you make me cry

You say you're gonna leave

You know it's a lie

Cos that'll be the day

When I die



Yeah that'll be the day

Oh, oh that'll be the day

Oh, oh that'll be the day

Oh, oh that'll be the day

Another Beatles Christmas Record

Jingle bells



Hello, everybody, this is Paul, and I'd just like to thank you all for buying our records during the past year. We know you've been buying them because the sales have been very good, you see. Don't know where we'd be without you, really though... (In the army, perhaps) Oh, we hope you've enjoyed listening to the records as much as we've enjoyed melting them. No, no, no, that's wrong. Making them. We're in Number Two Studio at the moment, at the EMI, taping this little message for you. (Yes, we are) Wer are indeed. I just thought I'd make that... this is the same studio we've used all along, since the old days of "Love Me Do", many years ago it seems, doesn't it? (Ah, those were the days...) Well, that's about all, I think. Except, to wish you all a happy Christmas and a very New Year. Now I'll pass you over to John. John!



John, John speaking. Thanks all of you bought me book. Thank you folks for buying it. It was very handy. And there's another one out pretty soon, it says here. Hope you buy that, too. It'll be the usual rubbish buy it won't cost much. You see, that's the bargain we're going to strike up. I write them in my spare time, it says here. It's been a busy year... (Did you write this yourself?) No! It's somebody's bad handwroter. It's been a busy year Beatles peadles, one way and another, but it's been a great year, too. You fans have seen to that. Page 2. Thanks a lot folks and a happy, ah, Christmas and a merry Goo-Year, crimble maybe. And I'll hand you to George who will speak to you. Now!



Thank you John. Thank you! Hi there! I'd like to thank all of you for going to see the film. Expect a lot of you saw it more than once. (I did) Did you? So did I. Thanks anyway, 'cause it makes us very pleased, you know. We had a quiet time making it. Actually, we didn't. We had a great time making it. And we're glad it turned out okay. The next one should be completely different. We start shooting it in February. This time it's a-gonna be in colour. (Green!) It'll be a big laugh we hope. (Ha ha ha!) Big laugh, ha ha ha, yeah, it'll be a big laugh. (Be a big laugh, you imagine?) And we may see all of you soon. Hope so anyway. All the best and happy New Year and a happy Christmas. And here's Ringo.



Thanks, George. Ringo here. Well, the others have thanked you for all the discs and John's book and for everything, oh no, for enjoying the film. I'd like to thank you just for being fans. It's been a funny year, you know. One minute we're in England, next, we're away. Expect you're wondering where we've been. Well, Beatle people, we've been to Australia and America and New... Who's dropping that? New Zealand. And Australia. (And New Zealand) Ha ha! Is that New Zealand? So much travelling! But you've stayed loyal, haven't you? Anyway, those airport receptions knocked us out, man, great! (Dig!) Well, that's about it from me. I'd just like to say, all the best for Christmas and a happy New Year.



Oh, can you wash your father's shirt

Can you wash it clean?

Oh, can you wash your father's shirt

Can you wash it clean?

Oh, can you wash your father's shirt

Can you wash it clean?

Oh



Christmas! (Happy Christmas, everybody!)

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas! Yeah!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!
