The Beatles Lyrics

[The Beatles]

I Want To Hold Your Hand (live at the Morecambe And Wise Show)

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something

I think you'll understand

When I'll say that something

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand



Oh please, say to me

You'll let me be your man

And please, say to me

You'll let me hold your hand

You'll let me hold your hand

I want to hold your hand



And when I touch you I feel happy inside

It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide



Yeah, you've got that something

I think you'll understand

When I'll say that something

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand



And when I touch you I feel happy inside

It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide



Yeah, you've got that something

I think you'll understand

When I'll feel that something

I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

[The Beatles]

I'm Happy Just To Dance With You

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me



I don't want to kiss or hold your hand

If it's funny try and understand

There is really nothing else I'd rather do

Cos I'm happy just to dance with you



I don't need to hug or hold you tight

I just want to dance with you all night

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

Cos I'm happy just to dance with you



Just to dance with you

It's everything I need

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me



If somebody tries to take my place

Let's pretend we just can't see his face

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

Cos I'm happy just to dance with you



Just to dance with you

It's everything I need

Before this dance is through

I think I'll love you too

I'm so happy when you dance with me



If somebody tries to take my place

Let's pretend we just can't see his face

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

I've discovered I'm in love with you

Cos I'm happy just to dance with you

(Oh ho, oh ho, oh)

[The Beatles]

I Saw Her Standing There (live at the BBC)

[1,2,3,4!]



Well, she was just 17

You know what I mean

And the way she looked was way beyond compare

So how could I dance with another, oh

Since I saw her standing there, yeah



Well she looked at me

And I, I could see

That before too long I'd fall in love with her

She wouldn't dance with another, whooh

Since I saw her standing there



Well, my heart went "boom"

When I crossed that room

And I held her hand in mine



Whoah, we danced through the night

And we held each other tight

And before too long I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another, whooh

Since I saw her standing there

Oh yeah!



Whoah, we danced through the night

Yeah we held each other tight

And before too long I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another, whooh

Since I saw her standing there

Yeah since I saw her standing there

Yeah since I saw her standing there

Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

[The Beatles]

She Came In Through The Bathroom Window (Get Back/Let It Be rehearsal)

She came in through the bathroom window

Protected by a silver spoon

But now she sucks her thumb and wanders

By the banks of her own lagoon



Didn't anybody tell her?

Didn't anybody see? (no, no, no)

Sunday's on the phone to Monday

Tuesday's on the phone to me



She said she'd always been a dancer

She worked at 15 clubs a day

And though she thought I knew the answer

But I knew what I could not say



Didn't anybody tell her?

Didn't anybody see-ee-ee, yeah?

Sunday's on the phone to Monday

Tuesday's on the phone to me



And so I quit the police department

And got myself a steady job

And though she tried her best to help me

She could steal but she could not rob



Didn't anybody tell her?

Didn't anybody see-ee-ee, yeah? (oh no)

Sunday's on the phone to Monday

Tuesday's on the phone to me



Didn't anybody body tell her, oh yeah?

Didn't anybody see-ee-ee?

Sunday's on the phone to Monday

Tuesday's on the phone to me

Oh me



[See that what you were doing then, it sounded like...

That's the kind of thing.

That would be nice to have one verses like that, like ah, like ah, classical.



What's that?



Well you're doing, "didn't any",

it has couple of us, "didn't anybody tell her da da da da...",

then just, "...dum dee dee da da doo doo, Sunday's on the",

you know, that kind of variation, it needs a bit, because it's very much...]

[The Beatles]

I'll Cry Instead

I've got every reason on earth to be mad

Cos I've just lost the only girl I had

And if I could get my way

I'd get myself locked up today

But I can't so I cry instead



I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet

I can't talk to people that I meet

And if I could see you now

I'd try to make you sad somehow

But I can't so I cry instead



Don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away, a-hey

But I'll come back again someday



And when I do you'd better hide all the girls

I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world

Yes I'm gonna break them in two

And show you what your loving man can do

Until then I'll cry instead



Don't want to cry when there's people there

I get shy when they start to stare

I'm gonna hide myself away, a-hey

But I'll come back again someday



And when I do you'd better hide all the girls

Cos I'm gonna break their hearts all round the world

Yes I'm gonna break them in two

And show you what your loving man can do

Until then I'll cry instead

[The Beatles]

Good Morning, Good Morning (take 8)

(take 8)

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 OK



Going to work don't want to go feeling low down

Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town

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



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 OK



People running round it's five o'clock

Everywhere in town is getting dark

Everyone you see is full of life

It's time for tea and meet the wife



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 OK



[Good morning, morning, oh hoo!]

[The Beatles]

Ticket To Ride

I think I'm gonna be sad

I think it's today, yeah

The girl that's driving me mad

Is going away



She's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

And she don't care



She said that living with me

Is bringing her down, yeah

For she would never be free

When I was around



She's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

But she don't care



I don't know why she's riding so high

She ought to think twice

She ought to do right by me

Before she gets to saying goodbye

She ought to think twice

She ought to do right by me



I think I'm gonna be sad

I think it's today, yeah

The girl that's driving me mad

Is going away, yeah



Oh, she's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

But she don't care



I don't know why she's riding so high

She ought to think twice

She ought to do right by me

Before she gets to saying goodbye

She ought to think twice

She ought to do right by me



She said that living with me

Is bringing her down, yeah

For she would never be free

When I was around



Ah, she's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride

But she don't care



My baby don't care, my baby don't care

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

My baby don't care, my baby don't care (fade out)

[The Beatles]

Nothin' Shakin' (live at the BBC)

I found it out

What love is all about

And every day

It sure lets out

I see my baby

I get weak in my knees

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

My pappie told me

There'd be times like these

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees



We meet the gang

And go to rocking Joes

The cats are something

On the heels and toes

I grab my baby

Tried to give her a squeeze

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

Well why must she be

Such a doggone tease?

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees



She's got a way

That makes me act like a fool

Spent my money

Then she plays me cool

I begged her for kisses

On my bended knees

Oh won't you give me

Some loving, baby

Please please please



Though I keep trying hard

To make her mine

One day the wind will blow

And the sun will shine

Till that time

She puts my heart at ease

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

She locked my heart

And threw away the keys

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees, yeah



She's got a way

That makes me act like a fool

Spent my money

Then she plays me cool

I'm begging for her kisses

On my bended knees

Oh won't you give me

Some of your loving, baby

Please please please



Though I keep trying hard

To make her mine

One day the wind will blow

And the sun will shine

Till that time

She puts my heart at ease

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

She locked my heart

And threw away the keys

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

There's nothing shaking

But the leaves on the trees

Roll Over Beethoven (live at the Beatles show at Sveriges Radio)

Well gonna write a little letter

Gonna mail it to my local D.J.

It's a rocking little record

I want my jockey to play

Roll over Beethoven

I gotta hear it again today



You know my temperature's rising

And the jukebox's blows a fuse

My heart's beating rhythm

And my soul keeps singing the blues

Roll over Beethoven

And tell Tchaikovsky the news



Well if you feel you like it

Well get your lover and feel and rock it

Roll it over and move on up

Just jump around and reel and rock it

Roll it over

Roll over Beethoven

A rocking in two by two



Well early in the morning I'm a giving you the warning

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

Hey little little gonna play my fiddle

Ain't got nothing to lose

Roll over Beethoven

A rocking in two by two



You know she winks like a glow worm

Dance like a spinning top

She got a crazy partner

Oughta see them reel a rock

Long as she's got a dime

The music will never stop

Roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven

Roll over Beethoven

And dig these rhythm and blues



[Thank you!]

[The Beatles]

Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!

For the benefit of Mr. Kite

There will be a show tonight on trampoline



The Hendersons will all be there

Late of Pablo Fanques Fair, what a scene!



Over men and horses hoops and garters

Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!

In this way Mr. Kite will challenge the world!



The celebrated Mr. Kite

Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate



The Hendersons will dance and sing

As Mr. Kite flys 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!



The band begins at ten to six

When Mr. Kite performs his tricks without a sound



And Mr. H will demonstrate

Ten summersets 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!

[The Beatles]

Rock And Roll Music (live at the BBC)

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

Gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me



I've got no kick against modern jazz

Unless they try to play it too darn fast

And lose the beauty of the melody

Until they sound just like a symphony



That's why I go for that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

Gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me



I took my loved one over across the tracks

So she can hear my man awail a sax

I must admit they have a rocking band

Man, they were blowing like a hurricane



I strated playing that that rock and roll music

Any old way you choose it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me



Way down South they had a jubilee

The jokey folks they had a jamboree

They're drinking home brew from a water cup

The folks dancing there are all shook up



And started playing that that rock and roll music

Any old time you use it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me



Don't care to hear them play a tango

And In The Mood they take a mambo

It's way to early for a congo

So keep a rocking that piano



That's why I go for that rock and roll music

Any old time you use it

It's got a back beat, you can't lose it

Any old time you use it

It's gotta be rock and roll music

If you wanna dance with me

If you wanna dance with me

[The Beatles]

Honey Pie

She was a working girl

North of England way

Now she's hit the big time

In the USA

And if she could only hear me

This is what I'd say



Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't you please come home



Oh honey pie my position is tragic

Come and show me the magic

Of your Hollywood song



You became a legend of the silver screen

And now the thought of meeting you

Makes me weak in the knee



Oh honey pie you are driving me frantic

Sail across the Atlantic

To be where you belong



Honey pie come back to me, oh



Yeah

I like it like that, oh ah

I like this kind of hot kind of music

Hot kind of music

Play it to me, play it to me, honey, the blues



Will the wind that blew her boat

Across the sea

Kindly send her sailing back to me



Honey pie you are making me crazy

I'm in love but I'm lazy

So won't you please come home

Come, come back to me, honey pie



Oooooooooooh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Honey pie, honey pie
