Maggie Mae
(trad., arr. Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)

Oh dirty Maggie Mae they have taken her away
And she never walk down Lime Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found her
For robbing a homeward bounder
That dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae
To the port of Liverpool
They returned me to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay

Martha My Dear
(Lennon/McCartney)

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 were 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.

Matchbox
(Perkins) Lead vocal: Starr

I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I said I'm sittin' here wonderin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I ain't got no matches but I sure
got a long way to go.
I'm an ol' poor boy, and I'm a
long way from home.
I'm an ol' poor boy, and I'm a
long way from home.
I'll never be happy cause everything I've
ever did was wrong.
Well, If you don't want my peaches honey,
please don't shake my tree.
Well, If you don't want my peaches honey,
please don't mess around my tree.
I got news for you baby,
leave me here in misery.
Well, let me be your little dog,
till your big dog comes.
Well, let me be your little dog,
till your big dog comes.
And when your big dog gets here,
watch how your puppy dog runs.
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I ain't got no matches but I sure
got a long way to go.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer
(Lennon/McCartney)

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube,
Oh oh, oh oh.
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine calls her on the phone
Can I take you out to the pictures Joan?
But as she's getting ready to go, a knock comes on the door.
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-o"
But when she turns her back on the boy he creeps up from behind.
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead
B.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-o
But as the words are leaving his lips, a noise comes from behind.
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head
Bang Bang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead.

Mean Mr. Mustard
(Lennon/McCartney)

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man.
His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man

Michelle
(Lennon/McCartney)

Michelle, ma belle.
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle.
Michelle, ma belle.
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,
Tres bien ensemble.
I love you, I love you, I love you.
That's all I want to say.
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand.
I need you, I need you, I need you.
I need to make you see,
Oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean.
I love you.
I want you, I want you, I want you.
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow.
Until I do I'm telling you so
You'll understand.
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand, my Michelle.

Misery
(Lennon/McCartney)

The world is treating me bad... Misery.
I'm the kind of guy,
Who never used to cry,
The world is treatin' me bad... Misery!
I've lost her now for sure,
I won't see her no more,
It's gonna be a drag... Misery!
I'll remember all the little things we've done
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one.
Send her back to me,
'Cause everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery.
I'll remember all the little things we've done.
She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one.
Send her back to me,
'Cause everyone can see,
Without her I will be in misery (oh oh oh)
In misery (ooh ee ooh ooh)
My misery (la la la la la la)

Money (That's What I Want)
(Radford/Cordy)

The best things in life are free
But you can tell me 'bout the birds and bees.
Now gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,

Money don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
So gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Yeh gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
So gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Your lovin' give me a thrill
But your lovin' don't pay my bill.
Now gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Money don't get everything it's true.
What it don't get I can't use.
So gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.
Yeh gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A little money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want THAT'S WHAT I WANT
So gimme money THAT'S WHAT I WANT
That's what I want, ye-ye-yeh,
That's what I want.

Mother Nature's Son
(Lennon/McCartney)

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.
Mother Nature's son.

Mr. Moonlight
(Johnson)

Mr. Moonlight
You came to me one summer night and from your beam you made my dream,
And from the world you sent my girl and from above you sent us love,
And now she's mine.
I think you're fine 'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight.
Mr. Moonlight, come again please, here I am on my knees,
Begging if you please, and the nights you don't come my way.
I'll pray and pray more each day, 'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight,
Mr. Moonlight.
