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
I Want to Hold Your Hand
Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin' I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand Oh, please, say to me You'll let me be your man And please, say to me You'll let me hold your hand You'll let me hold your hand I want to hold your hand And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide
Yeah, you got that somethin' I think you'll understand When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide
Yeah, you got that somethin' I think you'll understand When I feel that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand
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...
I’m Only Sleeping
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream) Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Runnin' everywhere at such a speed
'Til they find there's no need (there's no need) Please, don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping
Keepin' an eye on the world going by my window Takin' my time
Lyin' there and staring at the ceiling Waiting for a sleepy feeling
Please, don't spoil my day
I'm miles away
And after all
I'm only sleeping
Keepin' an eye on the world going by my window Takin' my time
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream) Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
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
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 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 Sun, sun, sun, here it Sun, sun, sun, here it Sun, sun, sun, here it Sun, sun, sun, here it
comes comes comes comes comes
Little darling
I feel the ice is slowly
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's all right
It's all right
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
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
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 at you all......
Still my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps
melting
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
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
Julia
Half of what I say is meaningless But I say it just to reach you, Julia Julia, Julia
Ocean child calls me
So I sing a song of love Julia
Julia, seashell eyes Windy smile calls me So I sing a song of love Julia
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering Glimmering in the sun
Julia, Julia
Morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love
Julia
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia Julia, sleeping sand
Silent cloud, touch me So I sing a song of love Julia
Hmm-hmm-hmm
Calls me
So I sing a song of love For Julia
Julia

Yesterday
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
en español
Hasta ayer
mis problemas vi desvanecer pero hoy vuelven a aparecer oh, yo creo en el ayer
y asi
Soy la mitad de lo que antes fui una sombre posa sobre mi
oh, hasta ayer no era asi
¿ Por qué ella me abandonó? aun no lo sé
Dije algo mal
y ahora anhelo aquel ayer
hasta ayer
el amor solia florecer
y ahora solo me quiero esconder oh yo creo en el ayer
Here,There and Everywhere
To lead a better life
I need my love to be here
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand Nobody can deny that there's something there There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be Someone is speaking
But she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care But to love her is to need her everywhere Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies Watching their eyes and hoping I'm always there I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me I know I need never care But to love her is to need her everywhere Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies Watching their eyes and hoping I'm always there I will be there
And everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
Penny Lane
In Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac in the pouring rain Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back in
Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine
Penny Lane, is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
Penny Lane, the barber shaves another customer We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then, the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane
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
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
Eleanor Rigby
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church
Where the wedding has been lives in a dream Wait's at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in A jar by the door who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father Mackenziе
Writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hеar no one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night
When there's nobody there what does he care? All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
All the lonely people (All the lonely people)
All the lonely people (All the lonely people) All the lonely people (All the lonely people) Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was Buried along with her name nobody came Father Mackenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as
He walks from the grave no one was saved All the lonely people all the lonely people
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
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
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

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
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
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
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
