Beatle Greetings

Ringo:
I'm Ringo and I play the drums.
Paul: Eh, oh, I'm Paul and I play the, eh, eh, bass.
George: I'm George and I play the guitar.
John: I'm John and I, too, play the guitar. Sometimes, I play the fool.


From Us to You

If there's anything that you want
If there's anything we can do
Just call on us and we'll send it along
With love, from us to you
To you
To you
To you


Riding on a Bus

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? 
Paul: We don't think so, really.
Brian: You don't ever think that?
Paul: Just occasionally, you get cheesed off with people writing rubbing 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, 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, 'cause 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 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, 'cause they pretend they don't know us.
Paul: Joe's Café!
Brian: Yeah, that figures.
Paul: Joe's Café! Social statement, that, you know.
George: It is.


I Got a Woman

Well, I got a woman, way 'cross town
She's good to me, oh, oh, yeah
Said, I got a woman, way 'cross town
She's good to me, oh, yeah
She gives me money, every dime I need
Yes, you know, she's the kind of friend, indeed
Said, I got a woman, way 'cross town
She's good for me, oh, oh, yeah

She say she love me early in the morning
Just for me, oh, oh, yeah
She say she love me early in the morning
Just for me, oh, yeah
She say she love me, just for me
yes, you know, she love me so tenderly
Said, I got a woman, way 'cross town
She's good to me, oh, yeah

She's there to love me, all day and night
Never grumbles or fusses, just treats me right
Never running in the streets, leaving me alone
She knows a woman's place is right back there
With a hand around the home

Got a woman, way 'cross town
She's good to me, oh, yeah
Well, I got a woman, way 'cross town
She's good to me, oh, yeah
Well, she's my baby, don't you understand
That I, I, I , I, I'm her loving man?
Said, I got a woman, way 'cross town
She's good to me, oh, oh, yeah

Well, it's all right
Well, it's all right
I got a woman, way 'cross time
She's good to me, oh, oh, oh, yeah


Too Much Monkey Business

Running to and fro, hard-working at the mill
Never fails in the mail, yeah, comes a rotten bill
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to involve again

Salesman talking to me, trying to run me up a creek
Say, "you can buy, go one and try, you can pay me next week"
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to involve again

Long-haired, good-looking, trying to get me hooked
Wants me to marry, settle down, get a home, write a book
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to involve again

Been to Yokohama, been a-fighting in the war
Army bunk, Army go, Army chow, army clothes
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to involve again

Same thing, every day, getting up, going to school
No need of me complaining, my objections over-ruled
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business for me to involve again

Working in the filling station, too many tasks
Wipe the windows, check the tires, check the oil, the dollar gas
Too much monkey business
Too much monkey business
Don't want your botheration, get away, leave me

Hey


Keep Your Hands off My Baby

We've been friends for, oh, so long
I let you share what's mine
When you mess with the girl I love
It's time to draw the line

Keep your hands off my baby (Keep your hands)
Ain't a-gonna tell you, but a one more time
So keep your hands off my baby (Keep your hands)
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine

I don't mind if you lend my clothes
But you will be indebted
Here is something that you get straight
There's one thing you don't touch

Keep your hands off my baby (Keep your hands)
Ain't a-gonna tell you, but a one more time
So keep your hands off my baby (Keep your hands)
Can't you get it through your head?
That girl is mine

Baby

Keep your hands off my baby (Keep your hands)
Ain't a-gonna tell you, but a one more time
So keep your hands off my baby (Keep your hands)
Can't you get it through your head?
That girl is mine

Oh, keep your hands off my baby, now
She's mine
Keep your hands off my baby
You'd better watch yourself, now
Boy, you get it through your head
That girl is mine


I'll Be on My Way

The sun is fading away
That's the end of the day
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way

Just one kiss and I'll go
Don't hide the tears that don't show
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way

To where the winds don't blow
And golden rivers flow
This way will I go

They were right, I was wrong
True love didn't last long
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way, hey
To where the winds don't blow
And golden rivers flow
This way will I go

They were right, I was wrong
True love didn't last long
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way, hey

I'll be on my way, oh, oh
I'll be on my way, oh, oh
I'll be on my way


Young Blood

I saw her standing on the corner
A yellow ribbon in her hair
I couldn't stop myself from calling
"Well, look-a there Look-a there
Well, look-a there Wow, look-a there"

Young blood
Oh, young blood
Young blood
I can't get you out of my mind

I took one look and I was fractured
I tried to walk, but I was lame
I tried to talk, but I just stuttered
Well, what's your name? What's your name?
Well, what's your name? Oh, what's your name?

Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
I can't get you out of my mind

What crazy stuff, she looked so tough
I tried to follow her all the way home
But things went bad, I met her dad
He said-a "You better leave my daughter alone"

Well, I tried to speak, but I just stuttered
I saw the rising of the sun
And all along my heart was calling
Well, you're the one You're the one Well, you're the one

Young blood
Oh, young blood
Yeah, young blood
I can't get you out of my mind

Yeah, young blood
Oh, young blood
Yeah, young blood
I can't get you out of my mind


A Shot of Rhythm and Blues

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 start to play
A real cool and way-out sound
And if you get the Can't Help It, when you can't sit down
You feel like you gotta move around

You get a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure
You get a pair of dancing shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure?

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, when you start to dance and sing
Until bumps come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too
Well, here's the thing for you to do

Get a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure
Get a pair of dancing shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure?

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, when you start to dance and sing
Until bumps come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too
Well, here's the thing for you to do

Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancing shoes
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Well, with your lover by your side

Until bumps come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets her, too
Well, here's the thing for you to do
Well, here's the thing for you to do
Well, here's the thing for you to do


Sure to Fall (In Love with You)

I'm sure to fall
Falls in love

You are so sweet

I want you for the rest of my life

Baby It's You

It's not the way you smile that touched my heart
It's not the way you kiss that tears me apart
Oh, oh, many, many, many nights go by
I sit, alone at home and crying over you
What can I do?
Can't help myself
'Cause, baby, it's you
Baby, it's you

You should hear what they say about you
"Cheat, cheat"
They say, they say you've never
Never, never, ever been true
Oh, oh, it doesn't matter what they say
I know I'm gonna love you any old way
What can I do?
When it's true
Don't want nobody, nobody
'Cause, baby, ti's you
Baby, it's you

Oh, oh, many, many, many nights go by
I sit, alone and crying over you
What can I do?
Don't want nobody, nobody
'Cause, baby, it's you
Baby, it's you
Don't leave me all alone
Come on home
Baby, it's you

She ain't no girl for you"

Any way you do
