Speech: beatle greetings
From us to you
Speech: riding on a bus
I got a woman
Too much monkey business
Keep your hands off my baby
I'll be on my way
Young blood
A shot of rhythm and blues
Sure to fall (in love with you)
Some other guy
Thank you girl
Speech: sha la la la la!
Baby it's you
That's all right (mama)
Carol
Soldier of love
Speech: a little rhyme
Clarabella
I'm gonna sit right down and cry (over you)
Crying, waiting, hoping
Speech: dear wack!
You really got a hold on me
To know her is to love her
A taste of honey
Long tall sally
I saw her standing there
The honeymoon song
Johnny b goode
Memphis, tennessee
Lucille
Can't buy me love
Speech: from fluff to you
Till there was you
Crinsk dee night (speech)
A hard day's night
Have a banana! (speech)
I wanna be your man
Just a rumour (speech)
Roll over beethoven
All my loving
Things we said today
She's a woman
Sweet little sixteen
1822! (speech)
Lonesome tears in my eyes
Nothin' shakin'
The hippy hippy shake
Glad all over
I just don't understand
So how come (no one loves me)
I feel fine
I'm a loser
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Rock and roll music
Ticket to ride
Dizzy miss lizzy
Medley : kansas city + hey! hey! hey! hey!
Set fire to that lot! (speech)
Matchbox
I forgot to remember to forget
Love these goon shows! (speech)
I got to find my baby
Ooh! my soul
Ooh! my arms
Don't ever change
Slow down
Honey don't
Love me do

Speech: riding on a bus
[Speech]

[Brian Matthew] Before we hear another song, fellows, there is a few things I'd like to ask you. First of all, do you ever get tired of being Beatles?
[John, Paul, George, and Ringo] (Comedic yawning)
[Paul] We don't think so, really
[Brian] You don't ever think that?
[Paul] Just occasionally, you get cheesed off with people writing rubbish about you, which you get often
[John] Yeah, I agree with that. I've had a divorce and half a dozen kids
[Brian] Now, what do you, eh--
[Paul] (Laughs)
[Brian] --well, I mean, doesn't, isn't this a big sort of drag to go around explaining to your wife that you're not divorced and all that sort of things?
[John] No, she knows I'm not divorced, because I keep seeing her every day, you see
[Brian] Yes, a point, but what about the simpler things of life, like, eh"
[Paul] Like riding on a bus?
[Brian] Yeah, or going to just about any restaurant you--
[Paul] Well, yeah, you miss those sort of things
[John] We go to certain ones
[George] And we go to ones where the people there are so snobby, they're the type who pretend they don't know us, so we have a good time, because they pretend they don't know us
[Paul] Joe's CafAc!
[Brian] Yeah, that figures
[Paul] Joe's CafAc! Social statement, that, you know
[George] It is

Young blood, ah young blood, young blood

Things went bad, I met her dad
He said, "You'd better leave my daughter alone"
Ow!

I saw the rising of the sun (Yip yip boom)
And all along my heart was falling

A shot of rhythm and blues
[Verse]
Well, if your hands start a-clapping
And your fingers start a-popping
And your feet start a-moving around

And if you start to swing and sway
When the band starts to play
A real cool way out sound

And if you get to can't help it
And you can't sit down
You feel like you gotta move a round

[Chorus 1]
You get a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure

[Chorus 2]
Get a pair of dancing shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're going to have a lot of pleasure?

[Chorus 3]
Don't you worry about a thing if you start to dance and sing
And chills coming up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do

Carol
[Chorus]
Oh Carol, don't let him
Steal your heart away
Well I've got to learn to dance
If it takes me all night and day

[Verse 1]
Well come into my machine
So we can move on out
I know a jumping little joint
Where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back on the highway
Not too long a ride
Well you take your car along
And you park it outside
A little cutie takes your hat
And you can thank her, ma'am
Well every time you're going to drive
You find the joint is jammed

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Well if you want to hear some music
Like the boys all play
Hold tight, tap your foot
Don't let it carry you away
Don't let the heat overcome you
Because they play so loud
While the music will treat you
When they get a crowd
Well you can dance
I know you will, you thought
I got my eyes on you baby
Because you dance so good

Don't let him
Steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance
If it takes me all night and day
Well I've got to learn to dance
If it takes you all night and day

But someday you're going to see
That my love for you baby, is the truest you've ever had
A Soldier of Love, that's hard to be

Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
And love me peacefully (Sha la, la)

[John] It's from the form up a third at Hemel Hempstead
[Rodney] Oh!
[John] It says, "Dear George, John, Ringo, Paul, here's hoping that you'll please us all
A beauty song and swinging voice, we leave it up to you, the choice
We think you're fab and really cool, so brighten up our lads at school"

[John] "Dear Wack! Please, ask those gorgeous lads (hee hee) called the Beatles (buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh) to sing You Really Got a Hold on Me for Di, Gus, Vizz, and me, also for the Beatles themselves, especially Paul, ha, and everybody that was in the Roy Orbison Tour. I'm a regular listener of Pop Go The Beatles, good lad-if you're a lad, and please, tell the boys that all the girls in our office think it is a fab show. Thank you."

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, she was just 17, if you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing there?

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long, I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (Woo)
When I saw her standing there

[Bridge: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, my heart went "boom" when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney, Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, we danced through the night, and we held each other tight
And before too long, I fell in love with her
Now, I'll never dance with another (Woo)
Since I saw her standing there

[Guitar Solo: George Harrison]


[Bridge: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
Well, my heart went "boom"

The honeymoon song
I never knew that a day like today lay before us
I’ve got the sun in my heart and my heart’s in the sun
Skies are as bright as your eyes
The horizon is open
Love is the ceiling
Feelings are reeling
Free as the air

Forever on and forever
Forever on side by side
Who ever knew that we two could be free as we’d fancy?
Fancy is free
But are we who are bound to each other by love?
To each other by love
Who ever knew that we two could be free as we’d fancy?
Fancy is free
But are we who are bound to each other by love?
To each other by love
To each other by love
To each other by love

Johnny b goode
[Verse 1]
Deep down in Louisiana
Close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreens
There stand a country cabin
Made of clay and wood
Where lives a young country boy
Named Johnny B. Goode
He never learned
To read or write a book so well
But he could play his guitar
Just like a-ringing a bell

[Chorus]
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!

[Verse 2]
He used to carry his guitar
In a gunny sack
Sit beneath the trees
By the railroad track
Oh sitting and a-playing
In the shade
Drumming to the rhythm
That the drivers made
People passing by
Used to stop and say
My oh my
That country boy can play

[Chorus]
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!

[Verse 3]
Well his mama told him
Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band
Many people coming
From miles around
To hear you play your music
Till the sun goes down
Maybe some day
Your name will be in light
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!

[Chorus]
Go go, go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!

Memphis, tennessee
[Verse 1]
Long distance information
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Try to find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She would not leave her number
But I know who placed the call
Because my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall

[Verse 2]
Help me, information
Get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here
From Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side
Just beyond the ridge
Just a half a mile
From the Mississippi Bridge

[Verse 3]
Help me, information
More than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her
And all the fun we had
We were pulled apart
Because her mom would not agree
Help me get in touch with her
In Memphis, Tennessee

[Verse 4]
The last time I saw Marie
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
That trickled from her eyes
Marie is only six years old
Information please
Help me get in touch with her
In Memphis, Tennessee

Can't buy me love
[Intro]
Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

[Verse 1]
I'll buy you a diamond ring, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything, my friend
If it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

[Verse 2]
I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

[Chorus]
Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no-no-no, no!

Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied

That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love

[Refrain: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
I'm in love with her and I feel fine

[Bridge: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
I'm so glad that she's my little girl
She's so glad, she's telling all the world

[Verse 5: John Lennon]
That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so

[Refrain: John Lennon, Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
She's in love with me and I feel fine
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mmm

I'm a loser
[Intro]
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

[Verse 1]
Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

[Chorus]
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

[Verse 2]
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry?

[Chorus]
I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be


[Harmonica and Guitar Solos]

[Verse 3]
What have I done to deserve such a fate?
I realise I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

[Chorus]
I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

[Chorus]

Everybody's trying to be my baby, now

[Verse 3]

Rock and roll music
[Chorus]
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's got to be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[Verse 1]
I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony

[Chorus]
That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's got to be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[Verse 2]
I took my loved one over across the tracks
So she can hear my man a wailin' sax
I must admit they have a rocking band
Man, they were blowing like a hurricane


[Chorus]
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's got to be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

[Verse 3]
Way down South they had a jubilee
Them Georgia folks they had a jamboree
They're drinking home brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancing there are all shook up

[Chorus]
And started playing that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Got to be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
[Verse 4]
Don't care to hear them play a tango
And in the mood they take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rocking that piano


[Chorus]
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Oh, you got rock 'n roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me

I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away

[Chorus]
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care

She would never be free when I was around

[Chorus]
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care

[Bridge]
I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me

[Verse 3]
I think I'm going to be sad, I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad is going away, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, she's got a ticket to ride

She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care

[Bridge]
I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice, she ought to do right by me

[Verse 4]
She said that living with me was bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free when I was around

[Chorus]
Oh, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride, but she don't care

I forgot to remember to forget
[Verse]
I forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind
I thought I'd never miss her
But I've found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time

[Chorus] [x2]
Well the day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we'd ever met
But something sure is wrong
Because I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

[John] Harp. It's a harp
[Lee] What? Harp?
[John] The harp. Because I'm playing the harp on this one
[Lee] Playing the harp?
[John] Harmonica I play on "Love Me Do," harp, on this one, little goes in the orange

I gotta find my baby
I declare that ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that woman said goodbye

You know I hate to see the sun
Sinking to the west
'Cause I know my whole life's
Gonna be one solid mess

Since that woman said goodbye

Well ever since the day
That she said we were through
I've been nervous
And shook up too

I gotta find my baby
I declare that ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
Since that woman said goodbye

Well I don't care if the last thing

Make her my wife

Don't ever change
[Verse 1]
You never wear a stitch of lace
Your powder's never on your face
You're always wearing jeans except on Sunday
So, please, don't ever change
Now, don't you ever change
I kind of like you just the way you are

[Verse 2]
You don't know the latest dance
But when it's time to make romance
Your kisses let me know you're not a tomboy
So, please, don't ever change
Now, don't you ever change
Just promise me you're always going to be
As sweet as you are

[Bridge]
I love you when you're happy
I love you when you're blue
I love you when you're mad at me
So, how can I get tired of you?

[Verse 3]
Now, lots of other girls I've seen
They know how to treat guys mean
But you would rather die than ever hurt me
So, please, don't ever change
Now, don't you ever change
Just promise me you're always going to be
As sweet as you are

[Outro]
Please, don't ever change
Don't you ever change
Please, don't ever change
Don't you ever change
