lyrics:

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 Fanque's Fair, what a scene Over men and horses hoops and garters Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In his way Mr. K. will challenge the world!

The celebrated Mr. K
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flies 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. K. performs his tricks without a sound And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten somersets 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

Good Day Sunshine

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out I've got something I can laugh about

I feel good, in a special way I'm in love and it's a sunny day Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

We take a walk, the sun is shining down Burns my feet as they touch the ground Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

Good day sunshine
And then we lie, beneath a shady tree
I love her and she's loving me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine I'm so proud to know that she is mine

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 Whoa, Mother Nature's son

Martha My Dear

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
We're meant to be for each other
Silly girl
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

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah

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

You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away

Here I stand, head in hand Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on Feeling two foot small Everywhere people stare Each and ev'ryday

I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey, you've got to hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she said to me
Love will find a way
Gather 'round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey, you've got to hide your love away Hey, you've got to hide your love away

I’ve Just Seen a Face

I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see We've met, mm-mm-mm-m'mm-mm Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her

Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di Fallin', yes, I am fallin' And she keeps callin' Me back again

I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite Like this, di-di-di-di'n'di
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see We've met, mm-mm-mm-di-di-di Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again
Oh, fallin', yes, I am fallin'
And she keeps callin'
Me back again

We Can Work it Out

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone. We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Think of what you're saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright. Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night. We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,

So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long. We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long. We can work it out,
We can work it out.

If I Fell

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true And help me
Understand
'Cause I've been in love before And I found that love was more Than just
Holding hands
If I give my heart
To you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you
Would love me more than her If I trust in you
Oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too
Oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her 'Cause I couldn't stand the pain And I
Would be sad
If our new love was in vain
So I hope you see
That I
Would love to love you
And that she
Will cry

When she learns we are two 'Cause I couldn't stand the pain And I
Would be sad

If our new love was in vain So I hope you see
That I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two If I fell in love with you...

In My Life

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life, I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life, I love you more
In my life-- I love you more

The Long and Winding Road

The long and winding road That leads to your door Will never disappear
I've seen that road before It always leads me here Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night That the rain washed away

Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here? Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone And many times I've cried Anyway, you'll never know The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here Lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lady Madonna

Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet Who finds the money when you pay the rent Did you think that money was heaven sent? Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest See how they run
Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head Tuesday afternoon is never ending Wednesday morning papers didn't come Thursday night you stockings needed mending See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

Hey Jude

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. Hey Jude, don't be afraid.

You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain, Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder.
Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her. Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do, The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...

Across the Universe

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox they They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing

Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Love

Love is real, real is love Love is feeling, feeling love Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love Love is reaching, reaching love Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me Love is knowing we can be

Love is free, free is love Love is living, living love Love is needing to be loved

All You Need is Love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
There's nothin' you can do that can't be done
Nothin' you can sing that can't be sung
Nothin' you can say, but you can learn how to play the game It's easy

Nothin' you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothin' you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

There's nothin' you can know that isn't known
Nothin' you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too

Imagine all the people living life in peace, you You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Let it Be

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
