Hard Day’s Night
Lennon & McCartney
It’s been a hard day’s night
And I’ve been working like a dog
It’s been a hard day’s night
I should be sleeping like a dog
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel all right
You know I work all day
To get you money to buy you things
And it’s worth it just to hear you say
You’re gonna give me everything
So why on Earth should I moan
‘Cos when I get you alone
You know I feel okay
When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight
Yeh
It’s been a hard day’s night
And I’ve been working like a dog

You know I feel okay
When I’m home everything seems to be right
When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight

The girl that’s driving me mad
Is going away
She’s got a ticket to ride

Her down, yeh
For she would never be free
When I was around

Yesterday
Lennon & McCartney
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don’t know
She wouldn’t say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don’t know
She wouldn’t say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Help!
Lennon & McCartney
Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone
Help!
When I was younger so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way
And now these days are gone
I’m not so self assured
Now I find I’ve changed my mind
I’ve opened up the doors
Help me if you can I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ‘round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won’t you please please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I’ve never
Done before
Help me if you can I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ‘round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won’t you please please help me?
When I was younger, so much younger than today,

You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away
Lennon & McCartney
Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she’s gone I can’t go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and everyday
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away
How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I’m in
How could she say to me, "Love will find a way"?
Gather ‘round all you clowns,
Let me hear you say
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away
Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away
We Can Work It Out
Lennon & McCartney
Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on
While you see it your way, run the risk of knowing
That our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what I’m saying we can work it out
And get it straight or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there’s no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it’s a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we might fall apart
Before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there’s no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that it’s a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we might fall apart
Before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

Norwegian Wood
(This Bird Has Flown)
Lennon & McCartney
I once had a girl or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room isn’t it got
Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time drinking her wine
We talked until two then she said
It’s time for bed
She told me she worked in the morning
And started to laugh
I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone this bird had flown
So I lit a fire isn’t it good
Norwegian wood?
Nowhere Man
Lennon & McCartney
He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’d going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen, you don’t know
What you’re missing,
Nowhere man, the world is at your command.
He’s as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere man can you see ma at all?
Nowhere man, don’t worry,
Take your time, don’t hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand.
Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen, you don’t know
What you’re missing,
Nowhere man, the world is at your command.
He’s a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
Michelle
Lennon & McCartney
Michelle ma belle
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle
Michelle ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres
Bein ensemble,
Tres bein ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you,
That’s all I wanted to say,
Until I find a way I will say the only words
I know that you’ll understand.
Michelle ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres
Bein ensemble,
tres bein ensemle.
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, 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.
Michelle ma belle, sont les mots qui vont tres
Bein ensemble,
Tres bein ensemble.
And I will say the only words I know that you’ll understand
My Michelle.
In My Life
Lennon & McCartney
There are places I remember all my life,
Though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friend I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life I’ve loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you,
And these mem’ries lost their meaning
When I think of love as something new.
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about hem,
In my life I’ll love you more.
Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them,
In my life I loved you more.
In my life I loved you more.
Girl
Lennon & McCartney
Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She’s the kind of girl you want so much it makes
You sorry,
Still you don’t regret a single day.
Ah girl! Girl! Girl!
When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry;
And she promises the Earth to me and I believe her.
After all this time I don’t know why.
Ah girl! Girl! Girl!
She’s the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there,
You feel a fool
When you say she’s looking good, she acts as if
It’s understood
She cool, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Girl! Girl! Girl!
Was she told when she was young that pain would
Lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure?
Ah girl! Girl! Girl!

Eleanor Rigby
Lennon & McCartney
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been,
Lives in a dream,
Waits at the window, wearing a face
That she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon
That no one will hear.
No one comes near.
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night
When there’s nobody there, what does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Ah, look at all the lonely people!
Eleanor Rigby deid in the church and was buried
Along with her name.
Nobody came.
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands
As he walks from the grave
N one was saved.
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Yellow Submarine
Lennon & McCarntney
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed the sea,
And he told us of his life in the land
Of submarines.
So we sailed up to the sun till we found
The sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine.
And our friends are all aboard,
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
As we live a life of ease,
Everyone of us has all we need
Shy of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
