Come Together:

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy 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 you is you 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 water 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

Something:

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.
Somewhere 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 shows me.
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how

Maxwell's Silver Hammer:

Joan was quizzical studied pataphysical science in the home
Late night all alone with a test-tube,
Oh oh, oh oh.
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine calls her on the phone,
Can I take you to the pictures Joan.
But as she's getting ready to go, a knock come 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 fifty times I must not be so
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,
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.
P.C. thirty-one said, we've caught a dirty one,
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh.
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery say he must go free.
The judge does not agree and he tells them so 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,
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead.
Silver hammer man

Oh! Darling:

Oh darling please believe me,
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.
(Believe me darling).
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,
Oh 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, you don't ever leave me alone.
Oh! darling please believe me,
I'll never let you down (Oh believe me darling).
Believe me when I tell you, I'll never do you no harm.
I'll never do you no harm

Octopus's Garden:

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.
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm in our little hide-a-way 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.
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade.
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,
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden with you

I Want You (She's So Heavy):

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.

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

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

It's driving me mad, it's driving me mad.
Yeah.
She's so heavy heavy

Here Comes the Sun:

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right.
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 all right.
Little darling the smiles returning to their faces,
Little darling it seems like it's years since it's been here,
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all right.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Little darling I feel that ice is slowly melting,
Little darling it seems like years since it's been clear,
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
It's all right, it's all right

Because:

Because the world is round it turns me on.
Because the world is round - Ah - love is old, love is new,
Love is all, love is you.
Because the wind is high it blows my mind.
Because the wind is high- Ah - 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- Ah - love is old, love is new,
Love is all, love is you

You Never Give Me Your Money:

You never give me your money
Your only give me your paper
And in the middle of negotiations you break down
I never give you my number
I only give my situation
And in the middle of investigation I break down.
Out of college money spent
See no future pay no rent.
All the money's gone, nowhere to go.
Any Jobber got the sack,
Monday morning turning back.
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go.
But oh - that magic feeling nowhere to go.
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in 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.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
All good children go to heaven


Top
Sun King:

Ah - here comes the Sun king.
Ev'rybody's laughing,
Ev'rybody's happy.
Here comes the Sun king.
Quando paramucho mi amore defelice corazon
Mundo pararazzi mi amore chicka ferdy parasol
Cuesto obrigado tanta mucho que can eat it carousel

Mean Mr Mustard:

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park,
Shaves in the dark
Trying to save paper.
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up 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


Top
Polythene Pam:

Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so goodlooking 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.
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer diller when she's dressed to the hilt.
She's the kind of a girl that makes the
News of the World.
Yes you could say she was attractively built - Yeh

She Came in Through the Bathroom Window:

Oh look out
She came in through the bathroom window,
Protected by a silver spoon
But now 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
Tuesdays 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 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


Top
Golden Slumbers:

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 fill your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep pretty darling do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.


Top
Carry That Weight:

Boy - you're gonna carry that weight,
Carry that weight a long time.
I never give you my pillow,
I only send you invitations,
And in the middle of the celebrations I break down


Top
The End:

Oh yeah alright, are you gonna be in my dreams tonight?
And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.
Ah -


Top
Her Majesty:

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 her that I love her a lot,
But I gotta get a belly full 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
