1. COME TOGETHER
(Lennon/McCartney)

Here come old flat top, he come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
He one holly roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please.

He wear no shoeshine, he got toe jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca Cola
He say, I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell is you've got to be free.
Come together, right now, over me.

He bag production, he got walrus gumboot,
He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee.
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together, right now, over me.

He roller coaster, he got early warning
He got Muddy Waters, he one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see.
Come together, right now, over me.


2. SOMETHING
(Harrison)

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Something in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know.
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know.

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she sows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how


3. MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER
(Lennon/McCartney)

Joan was quizzical,
Studied pataphysicalsciece in the home
Late nights with a tet tube , oh,oh,oh oh
Maxwell Edison
Majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
Can I take you after 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
Clang clang ! 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 fifty times I must not be so
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind

P.C. thirty one, "We've caught the dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
The judge doesn' t agree
And he tells them so
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise came from behind.


4. OH ! DARLING
(Lennon/McCartney)

Oh ! Darling
Please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm.

Oh ! Darling
If you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone.

When you told me
you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died
Oh ! Darling
If you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm.


5. OCTOPUS'S GARDEN
(Starkey)

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves

Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found.

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves

Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe.

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do.

6. I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY)
(Lennon/McCartney)

I want you
I want you so bad.
I want you
I want you so bad.
It's driving me mad
It's driving me mad

She's so heavy
She's so heavy.

7. HERE COMES THE SUN
(Harrison)

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright.

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright.

Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright.

Sun, sun sun, here it comes.

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun and I say
It's alright.

8. BECAUSE
(Lennon/McCartney)

Because the world is round, it turns me on.
Because the world is round.

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.
Because the wind is high.

Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you.

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry.
Because the sky is blue.

9. YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY
(Lennon/McCartney)

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negociations you break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigations I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent,
All the money's gone, nowhere to go.

But oh that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Oh that magic feeling
Nowhere to go

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags, and get into the limousine.
Soon we'll be away from here, step on the gas and wipe that tear away.
One sweet dream came true, today
Came true, today.

10. SUN KING
(Lennon/McCartney)

Here comes the sun king
Here comes the sun king
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy
Here comes the sun king

Quando paramucho mi amore de felice corazon
Mundo paparazzi mi amore chicka ferdy parasol
Cuesto obrigado tant mucho que can eat it carousel.

11. MEAN MR MUSTARD
(Lennon/McCartney)

Mean Mr Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the park
Trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man.

His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops she's a go getter
Takes him out to look at the Queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man.

12. POLYTHENE PAM
(Lennon/McCartney)

Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam.
Yeh, yeh, yeh

Get a dose of her in jackboot and kilt
She's a killer diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of girl that makes the News of the World
Yes you could say that she was attractively built
Yeh, yeh, yeh

13. SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW
(Lennon/McCartney)

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But she sucks her thumb and wonders
By the banks of her own lagoon.

Didn't anybody tell her ?
Didn't anybody see ?
Sundays on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me.

She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.

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.

14. GOLDEN SLUMBERS
(Lennon/McCartney)

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers feel your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

CARRY THAT WEIGHT
(Lennon/McCartney)

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time.
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time.

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations I break down

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time.
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time.

THE END
(Lennon/McCartney)

Oh yeah !
Are you gonna be in my dreams tonight ?

And in the end
The love you take is equal to the love you make.

HER MAJESTY
(Lennon/McCartney)

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day
I wanna tell that her I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl someday I 'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
Someday I 'm gonna make her mine.
