Yer Blues

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

In the morning, wanna die.
In the evening, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Ooh, 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 you know what it's worth.

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

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

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

Black cloud 'crost 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,
Ooh, girl, you know the reason why.

Mother Nature's Son

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.

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

Mother Nature's son.

Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey

Come on come on, come on come on,
Come on, it's such a joy,
Come on, it's such a joy.
Come on, let's take it easy,
Come on, let's take it easy,
Take it easy, take it easy.
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey.

The deeper you go, the higher you fly.
The higher you fly, the deeper you go,
So come on, come on,
Come on, it's such a joy,
Come on, it's such a joy.
Come on, let's take it easy,
Come on, let's take it easy,
Take it easy, take it easy.
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey.

Your inside is out and your outside is in,
Your outside is in and your inside is out,
So come on, come on, Come on, it's such a joy,
Come on, it's such a joy.
Come on, let's make it easy,
Come on, let's make it easy,
Make it easy, make it easy.
Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey.

Sexy Sadie

Sexy Sadie, what have you done?
You made a fool of everyone,
You made a fool of everyone.
Sexy Sadie, oh, what have you done?

Sexy Sadie, you broke the rules. You laid it down for all to see,
You laid it down for all to see.
Sexy Sadie, ooh, you broke the rules.

One sunny day, the world was waiting for a lover.
She came along to turn on everyone.
Sexy Sadie, she's the greatest of them all.

Sexy Sadie, how did you know?
The world was waiting just for you,
The world was waiting just for you.
Sexy Sadie, ooh, 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, ooh, you'll get yours yet.

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

She made a fool of everyone,
Sexy Sadie.

However big you think you are,
Sexy Sadie.

When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide,
Then I stop and I turn and I go for a ride,

Long, Long, Long

It's been a long long long time.
How could I ever have lost you
When I loved you?

It took a long long long time,
Now I'm so happy I found you.
How I love you.

So many tears I was searching,
So many tears I was wasting, oh oh.

Now I can see you, be you.
How can I ever misplace you>
How I want you,
Oh I love you.
You know that I need you,
Ooh I love you.

Revolution 1

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.

But when you talk about destruction,
Don't you know you can count me out-in.

Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop),
Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop),
Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop).

You say you got a real solution,
Well, you know,
We'd all love to see the plan.
(ba-om shoo be doo wop, ba-om shoo be doo wop)
You ask me for a contribution,
Well, you know,
We're all doing what we can.
(ba-om shoo be doo wop, ba-om shoo be doo wop)

But when you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you is brother, you have to wait.

Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop),
Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop),
Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop).

You say you'll change the constitution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change your head.
(ba-om shoo be doo wop, ba-om shoo be doo wop)

You tell me it's the institution,
Well, you know,
You'd better free your mind instead.
(ba-om shoo be doo wop, ba-om shoo be doo wop)

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow.

Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop),
Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop),
Don't you know it's gonna be (ba-om shoo be doo wop)
Alright (ba-om shoo be doo wop).

Honey Pie

She was a working girl,
North of England way.
Now she's hit the big time
In the U.S.A.
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 knees.

Oh, honey pie, you are driving me frantic.
Sail across the Atlantic
To be where you belong.

I like it that.
I like this kind of hot kind of music,
Hot kind of music,
Play it to me, play it to me, Hollywood blues.

Will the wind that blew her boat across the sea
Kindly send her sailing back to me?

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-hi-hi-hi,
Honey pie come back.

Savoy Truffle

Creme tangerine and montelimant,
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart.
A 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.
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You might not feel it now,
But when the pain cuts through,
You're going to know and how.
The sweat is going to fill your head.
When it becomes too much,
You'll shout aloud.
Creme tangerine.

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?

Creme tangerine and montelimant,
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart.
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news.
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

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

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

Revolution 9

Like I'm gonna even TRY to make a go at this one!!! Sheesh, if you're curious enough to actually want to know what's said in this selection, click here, Meg's taken the time to decipher this messed-up amalgam of sound clips.


Good Night

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 for you.

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 for you.

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 for you.

Good night, good night everybody,
Everybody everywhere,
Good night.
