Back In The USSR

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

Oh, 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 USSR,
You don't know how lucky you are, boy.
Back in the USSR (yeah).

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 USSR,
You don't know how lucky you are, boy.
Back in the US,
Back in the US,
Back in the USSR.

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 mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind.

Oh, come on!

Guitar Solo
[Wooooh! Wooooh! Yeah!]
Wooo Yeah, I'm back in the USSR,
You don't know how lucky you are, boys.
Back in the USSR.

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 mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind.

Oh, show me 'round your snow-peaked mountains way down south,
Take me to your daddy's farm.
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out,
Come and keep your comrade warm.

I'm back in the USSR, hey!
You don't know how lucky you are, boys.
Back in the USSR.

[Oh-oh, let me tell you, honey,
Hey, I'm back!
I'm back in the USSR!
Yes, doin' it again!
Yeah, back in the USSR!]


Dear Prudence

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Lennon

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to pla-he-hey?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new da-he-he-heeey.

It's beautiful and so are you.
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?

Dear Prudence, open up your ey-hi-hies.
Dear Prudence, see the sunny ski-hi-hi-hies.
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything.
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

Look around, 'round
('Round, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round)

So let me see you smile again.
Dear Prudence, won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to pla-he-hey?

Glass Onion

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Lennon

I told you 'bout Strawberry Fields,
You know, the place where nothing is real.
Well, here's another place you can go-oo-wo,
Where everything flo-oo-ows.
Looking through the bent-backed tulips,
To see how the other half live,
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you 'bout 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 a cast-iron shore, yeah,
Lady Madonna tryin' to make ends meet, yeah,
Looking through a glass onion.


Oh yeah,
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah,
Looking through a glass onion.

I told you 'bout the fool on the hill,
I tell you, man, he livin' there still.
Well, here's another place you can be,
Listen to me.
Fixin' a hole in the ocean,
Tryin' to make a dove-tail joint, yeah,
Looking through a glass onion.

With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Happy ever after in the market place,
Desmond lets the children lend a hand (arm! leg!)

The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Lennon

Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun,
In case of accidents, he always took his mum.
He's the all-American, bullet-headed, saxon mother's son.
All the children sing...

Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
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 him right between the eyes - zap!
All the children sing...

Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
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 mummy 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?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

(Oh-ho!)
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey, Bungalow Bill,
What did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

[Eh up!]


While My Guitar Gently Weeps

(Harrison)

Lead vocal: George Harrison

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.

Well...
Guitar Solo

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, look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

Oh, oh, oh, oh-ohhh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh! Wooo-hooo.


Happiness Is A Warm Gun

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Lennon

She's not a girl who misses much,
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 Nation'l Trust.

Guitar Solo

I need a fix 'coz 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,
Mother Superior, jump the gun,
Mother Superior, jump the gun,
Mother Superior, jump the gun,
Mother Superior, jump the gun.

Happiness (happiness) is a warm gun
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot!),
Happiness (happiness) is a warm gun, mama
(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 nobody can do me no harm
(Oo-oo oh yeah!).

Because...
(Happiness) is a warm gun, mama
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot!),
Happiness (happiness) is a warm gun, yes, it is
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot!),
Happiness is a warm, yes, it is...
Gun (happiness)
(Bang, bang, shoot, shoot!),
Well, don't you know that happiness (happiness)
Is a warm gun, mama?
(Is a warm gun, yeah).


Martha My Dear

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney


Piano Solo


Martha, my dear,
Though I spend my days in conversation, please,
Remember me, Martha, my love,
Don't forget me, Martha, my dear.

Hold your head up, you silly girl,
Look 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.

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.

Piano Solo

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)

Lead vocal: John lennon

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 would 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!

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'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind,
I'd give you everything I've got
For a little peace of mind.

Monsieur, monsieur, monsieur, how about another one?

Blackbird

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

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.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see;
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird, fly,
Blackbird, fly,
Into the light of a dark, black night.

Blackbird, fly,
Blackbird, fly,
Into the light of a dark, black night.

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,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.


Piggies

(Harrison)

Lead vocal: George Harrison

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 sties 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.

One more time...


Rocky Raccoon

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon-a,
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 - aaaah.

Da d'da d'da d'da da da,
Da d'da d'da d'da da da,
Da d'da d'da d'da d'da d'da d'da d'da d'da da,
Do do d'do do do.

Do d'do d'do d'do do do,
Do d'do d'do d'do do do,
Do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do da da,
Do d'do do do.

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."

And 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 - aaaah.
Oh yeah, yeah.

D'do d'do d'do do do,
Do d'do d'do d'do do do,
Do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do do,
D'do d'do do do.

Do d'do d'do d'do do, come on, Rocky boy,
Do d'do d'do d'do do, come on, Rocky boy,
D'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do d'do,
The story of Rocky there, uh huh.


Don't Pass Me By

(Starkey)

Lead vocal: Ringo Starr

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 mantle 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,
'Coz you know, darlin', 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 that you would be late,
About an hour or two,
I said that's alright, I'm waiting here,
Just waiting to hear from you.

Don't pass me by,
Don't make me cry,
Don't make me blue,
'Coz you know, darlin', 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.

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... mmm).

Don't pass me by,
Don't make me cry,
Don't make me blue,
'Coz you know, darlin', 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 Will

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

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,
Ah, you know I will.

I will.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm,
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.


Julia

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Lennon

Half of what I say is meaningless,
But I say it just to reach you, Ju-lia.

Julia, Julia, ocean child, calls me,
So I sing a song of love, Ju-lia.

Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me,
So I sing a song of love, Ju-lia.

Her hair of floating sky is shimmering,
Glimmering, in the sun.

Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me,
So I sing a song of love, Ju-lia.

When I cannot sing my heart,
I can only speak my mind, Ju-lia.

Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me,
So I sing a song of love, Ju-lia.

Mmm-hmm-hmm... calls me,
So I sing a song of love for Julia,
Julia, Ju-lia.

Yer Blues

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John Lennon

Two, three...

Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die,
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Woooh, girl, you know the reason why.

In the mornin', wanna die,
In the evenin', wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Woooh, girl, you know the reason why.

My mother was of the sky,
My father was of the earth,
But I am of the universe
And then you know what it's worth.

I'm lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Woooh, girl, you know the reason why.

The eagle picks my eye,
The worm, he licks my bone.
Feel so suicidal,
Just like Dylan's Mr Jones.

Lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Woooh, girl, you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind,
Blue mist 'round my soul.
Feel so suicidal,
Even hate my rock and roll.

Wanna die, yeah, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Woooh, girl, you know the reason why.

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

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.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-d'dn-doo,
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-d'dn-doo,
Doo-doo-ooo.

Find me in my field of grass,
Mother Nature's son,
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-d'do-do'dn-doo,
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-d'dn-doo,
N'd'do-doo-doo-doo-doo,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sexy Sadie, oh, how did you know?

Sexy Sadie, you'll get yours yet,
However big you think you are,
However big you think you are.
Sexy Sadie, oh, you'll get yours yet.

We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table (se-xy Sa-die);
Just a smile would lighten everything.
Sexy Sadie (sexy Sadie),
She's the latest and the greatest(she's the greatest) of them all
(Sexy Sadie, she's the latest and the greatest of them all).

Oooh-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo.
She made a fool of everyone (sexy Sadie).

[Okay.]

You say you want a revolution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's evolution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world.

Don't you know that you can count me out - in?

Honey Pie

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

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, oooo.

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?
T-t-tee.

Now, 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-ie-ie-ie.

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo oh, oh,
Oh-oh ho-oo-oh oh-oh,
Honey pie, honey pie.


Savoy Truffle

(Harrison)

Lead vocal: George Harrison

Cream tangerine and montelimar,
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart.
Coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news,
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the savoy truffle.

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart,
I feel your taste all the time we're apart.
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues (woh!)
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

(Prrrr)
You might not feel it now,
When the pain cuts through,
You're gonna know and how.
The sweat is gonna fill your head;
When it becomes too much you'll shout aloud.

Guitar/Sax Solo

But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You know that what you eat you are
But what is sweet now turns so sour,
We all know 'Ob-la-di bla-da'
But can you show me where you are?

Cream tangerine and montelimar,
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart.
Coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news (woh!)
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the savoy truffle.

Yes, you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.


Cry Baby Cry

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: John lennon

Cry, baby, cry,
Make your mother sigh,
She's old enough to know better.

The King of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the Queen.
The Queen was in the parlour playing piano
For the children of the king.

Cry, baby, cry,
Make your mother sigh,
She's old enough to know better.
So cry, baby, cry.

The King was in the garden picking flowers
For a friend who came to play.
The Queen was in the playroom painting pictures
For the children's holiday.

Cry, baby, cry,
Make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better,
So cry, baby, cry.

The Duchess of Kircaldy, always smiling
And arriving late for tea.
The Duke was having problems with a message
At the local bird and bee.

Cry, baby, cry,
Make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better,
So cry, baby, cry.

At twelve o'clock a meeting 'round the table
For a seance in the dark.
With voices out of nowhere put on specially
By the children for a lark.

Cry, baby, cry,
Make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better,
To cry, baby, cry.

Cry, cry, cry, baby,
Make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better,
So cry, baby, cry.

Cry, cry, cry,
Make your mother sigh.
She's old enough to know better,
So cry, baby, cry.


[Link Track]
Lead vocal: Paul McCartney

Can you take me back where I came from,
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back where I came from,
From where, can you take me back?
Can you take me back?

Mmm, can you take me back where I came from,
Can you take me back?

["...Bottle of Claret for you if I had realised..."
"Well, do it next time."
"I forgot about it, George, I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"
"Yes."]


Revolution 9

(Lennon-McCartney)

Sound Collage

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number...

...Then there's this Welsh rarebit wearing some brown underpants...
...About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire.

Every one of them knew that as time went by they'd
Get a little bit older and a little slower but...
It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by
Someone who's always/umpteen (?).
Your father's giving it diddly-I-dee/district was leaving...
Intended to die. (?) Ottoman...
(?)...Long gone through...(?)
I've got to say, irritably and...
(?) Floors, hard enough to put on (?) Per day's MD in our district.
There was not really enough light to get down,
And ultimately (?) slumped down.
Suddenly...

They may stop the funding.../
Place your bets. The original.
Afraid she'll die/(?)
Great colours for the season.

Number 9, number 9.

Who's to know?
Who was to know?

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,
Number 9, number 9.

I sustained nothing worse than (?) Whatever you're doing/
A business deal falls through.

I informed him on the third night, when fortune gives...

People ride, people ride,
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride.

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9.

Ri-i-i-i-ide! Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ide!

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9.

(?) I've missed all of that.
It makes me a few days late
Compared with, like, wow!
And weird stuff like that...

(?) Taking our sides sometimes.
(?) Floral bark.

Rouge doctors have brought this specimen.

I have nobody's short-cuts, aha...

Nine, number 9.

(?) With the situation.

They are standing still.

The plan, the telegram...

Number 9, number...

A man without terrors from beard to false,
As the headmaster reported to my son.
He really can try, as they do, to find function...
Tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high,
And his eyes were low...

Alright!

It was on fire and his glasses were the same.
This thing knows if it was tinted,
But you know it isn't. To me it is...
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,
Number 9.

So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon,
To price it (?)
Yellow underclothes.
So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead,
Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all.
So I said I'd marry, join the fucking Navy and went to sea.

In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair.

I'm not in the mood for whirling.

How? Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping,
Birds for birding and fish for fishing,
Them for themming and when for whimming.

...Only to find the night-watchman unaware of his presence in the building.

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9,
Number 9.

Industry allows financial imbalance.

Thrusting it between his shoulder blades.

The Watusi, the Twist.

Eldorado.

Take this, brother, may it serve you well.

Maybe it's nothing/
What? What? Oh...

Maybe, even then, impervious in London.

(?) Could be difficult thing...
It's quick like rush for peace is because it's so much like being naked.

It's alright, it's alright,
It's alright, it's alright,

It's alright, it's alright,
It's alright, it's alright,
It's alright.

If, you became naked.


Good Night

(Lennon-McCartney)

Lead vocal: Ringo Starr

Now it's time to say good night;
Good night, sleep tight.
Now the sun turns out his light;
Good night, sleep tight.
Dream sweet dreams for me (dream sweet dreams),
Dream sweet dreams for you (sweet dreams).

Close your eyes and I'll close mine;
Good night, sleep tight.
Now the moon begins to shine;
Good night, sleep tight.
Dream sweet dreams for me (dream sweet dreams),
Dream sweet dreams for you (sweet dreams).

Mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm,
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine;
Good night, sleep tight.
Now the sun turns out his light;
Good night, sleep tight.
Dream sweet dreams for me (dream sweet dreams),
Dream sweet dreams for you (sweet dreams).

[Good night,
Good night everybody,
Everybody, everywhere,
Good night.]
