Little Help From My Friends (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: Ringo Starr
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
and I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know it's mine.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends.

3. Lucy In
The Sky With Diamonds (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: John Lennon
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
with tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
a girl with caleidoscope 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, ah.
Follow her downto a bridge by the 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.
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 caleidoscope eyes.
4. Getting
Better (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: Paul McCartney
I used to get mad in my school (No, I can't complain)
The teachers that taught me weren't cool (No, I can't complain)
Holding me down, turning me round,
Filling me up with your rules
I've got to admit it's getting better,
A little better all the time (can't get no worse)
To admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can.
To admit it's getting better,
A little better all the time
To admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better,
It's getting better all the time.
Better, better, better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can.
I admit it's getting better,
A little better all the time (can't get no worse)
Yes, I admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better,
It's getting better all the time.
Better, better, better,
Getting so much better all the time.
5. Fixing
A Hole (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: Paul McCartney
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong
See the people standing there who disagre and never win
And wonder why they don't get in my door
I'm painting my room in a colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong
Silly people run around, they worry me
And never ask me why they don't get past my door
I'm taking the time for a number of things
That weren't important yesterday
And I still go
Fixing a hole where the rain gets in
Stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
6. She's
Leaving Home (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: Paul McCartney
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hope would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free
She (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, bye
Father snores as his wife gets into the dressing gown
Picks up the leter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me
She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, bye
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from a motor trade
She (What did we do that was wrong)
Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied for so many years
She's leaving home, bye, bye.
7. Being
For The Benefit For Mr. Kite (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: John Lennon
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Henderson will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair- what a scene
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire
In this 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 flys through the ring don't be late
Mr. 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 summersets he'll undertake on solid ground
Having been somedays in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonite Mr. Kite is dropping the bill
8. Within
You Without You (Harrison)
Cantor: George Harrison
We were talking - about the space between us all
And the people - who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass
away
We were talking - about the love we all could share
When we find it - to try our best to hold it there - with our
love
With our love we could save the world - if they only knew
Try to realise it's all within yourself - no-one else can make
you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.
We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see - are you one of them ?
When you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you.
9. When
I'm Sixty Four (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: Paul McCartney
When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me the Valentine,
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Wold you lock the door
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too,
And if you say the word I could stay with you.
I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday morning go for a ride
Doing a garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four.
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight,
if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicater precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form,
Mine for evermore,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four.
10.
Lovely Rita (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: Paul McCartney
Lovely Rita meter maid, lovely Rita meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid, nothing can come between us
when it gets dark I tow your heart away
Standing by a parking meter when I caught a glimpse of Rita
Filling in the ticket in her little white book.
I the cap she looked much older
And the bag across her shoulder
made her look a little like a military man.
Lovely Rita meter maid, may I inquire discreetly,
When you are free to take some tea with me
Took her out and tried to win her,
Had a laugh and over dinner
Told her I would really like to see her again
Got the bill and Rita paid it,
Took her home and nearly made it
Sitting on a sofa with a sister or two.
Oh, lovely Rita meter maid, where would I be without you,
Give us a wink and make me think of you.
11. Good
Morning Good Morning (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: John Lennon
Nothing to do to save his life
Call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day
How's your boy been?
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to say, but its okay
Good morning, good morning
Going to work
Don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam
Then you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own
You're in the street
Good morning, good morning
After a while you start to smile
Now ya feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk
By the old school
Nothing has changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say, but it's okay
Good morning, good morning
People running around it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town it's getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the wife
Somebody needs to know the time
Glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt
Now you're in gear
Go to the show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say, but it's okay
Good morning, good morning

We're sorry but it's time to go
Sergeant Pepper's lonely

We'd like to thank you once again
Sergeant Pepper's one and only Lonely Hearts Club Band
It's getting very near the end
Sergeant Pepper's lonely

13. A Day
In The Life (Lennon/McCartney)
Cantor: John Lennon/Paul McCartney
I read a news today, oh boy,
About a lucky man who made a grade,
And though the news was rather sad,
Well, I just had to laugh.
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car,
He didn't notice that the lights have changed,
A crowd of people stood and stared,
They've seen his face before,
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.
I saw a film today, oh boy,
The English army had just won the war,
A crowd of people turned away,
But I just had a look,
Having read a book, I'd like to turn you on...
Woke up, fell out of bed,
dragged a comb across my head,
found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
and looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my head,
made the bus in second flat,
found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I heard a news today, oh boy,
four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire,
and though the holes were rather small,
they had to count them all,
now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall,
I'd love to turn you on.
