Savoy Truffle
(Harrison)

Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge--really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You're going to shout aloud
--Creme tangerine.
You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour--
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?..
Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know its good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Sexy Sadie
(Lennon/McCartney)

Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done.
Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules.
One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all.
Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie oooh how did you know.
Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you'll get yours yet.
We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest and the greatest of them all.
She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie.
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
(Lennon/McCartney)

It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
(Lennon/McCartney)

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon.
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob.
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.

She Loves You
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Lennon

She loves you, yeh, yeh, yeh
She loves you, yeh, yeh, yeh
She loves you, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
You think you lost your love,
when I saw her yesterday.
It's you she's thinking of
and she told me what to say.
She says she loves yo
and you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
and you know you should be glad.
She said you hurt her so
she almost lost her mind.
And now she says she knows
you're not the hurting kind.
She says she loves you
and you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
and you know you should be glad. Ooh!
She loves you, yeh, yeh,yeh
She loves you, yeh, yeh,yeh
and with a love like that
you know you should be glad.
You know it's up to you,
I think it's only fair,
if I should hurt you, too,
apologize to her
because she loves you
and you know that can't be bad.
Yes, she loves you
and you know you should be glad. Ooh!
She loves you, yeh, yeh,yeh
She loves you, yeh, yeh,yeh
with a love like that
you know you should be glad.
with a love like that
you know you should be glad.

you know you should be glad.

She Said, She Said
(Lennon/McCartney)

She said I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And she's making me feel like I've never been born.
I said "Who put all those things in your hair
Things that make me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, you're wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right.
I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave 'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, you're wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right.
I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad...

She's A Woman
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney

My love don't give me presents.
I know that she's no peasant,
only ever has to give me love forever and forever,
my love don't give me presents,
turn me on when I get lonely,
people tell me that she's only
foolin', I know she isn't.
She don't give the boys the eye,
she hates to see me cry,
she is happy just to hear me say
that I will never leave her.
She don't give the boys the eye,
she will never make me jealous,
gives me all her time as well as lovin',
don't ask me why.
She's a woman who understands.
She's a woman who loves her man.
My love don't give me presents.
I know that she's no peasant,
only ever has to give me love forever and forever,
my love don't give me presents,
turn me on when I get lonely,
people tell me that she's only
foolin', I know she isn't.
She's a woman who understands.
She's a woman who loves her man.
My love don't give me presents.
I know that she's no peasant,
only ever has to give me love forever and forever,
my love don't give me presents,
turn me on when I get lonely,

She's Leaving Home
(Lennon/McCartney)

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped 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 her dressing gown
Picks up the letter 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 though of ourselves)
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
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 the motor trade.
She What did we do that was wrong
Is having We didn't know it was wrong
Fun is the one thing that money can't buy
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years. Bye, Bye
She's leaving home bye bye

Sie Liebt Dich
(McCartney/Lennon)

Sie liebt dich
Sie liebt dich
Sie liebt dich
Du glaubst sie liebt nur mich?
Gestern hab' ich sie gesehen.
Sie denkt ja nur an dich,
Und du solltest zu ihr gehen.
Oh, ja sie liebt dich.
Schöner kann es gar nicht sein.
Ja, sie liebt dich,
Und da solltest du dich freu'n.
Du hast ihr weh getan,
Sie wusste nicht warum.
Du warst nicht schuld daran,
Und drehtest dich nicht um.
Oh, ja sie liebt dich. . . .
Sie liebt dich
Sie liebt dich
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur glücklich sein.
Du musst jetzt zu ihr gehen,
Entschuldigst dich bei ihr.
Ja, das wid sie verstehen,
Und dann verzeiht sie dir.
Sie liebt dich
Sie liebt dich
Denn mit dir allein kann sie nur glücklich sein.

Well, I used to walk you home, baby, after school,

You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Ow! if you want our love to last.

Something
(Harrison)

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 her and how.
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me.
Don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe her now.
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.
Don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe and how.

Strawberry Fields Forever
(Lennon/McCartney)

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
