Two of Us (Lennon/McCartney)


Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard earned pay
Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low in the sun
You and me chasing paper getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

We're going home
Better believe it



Dig A Pony (Lennon/McCartney)

I dig a pony
Well you can celebrate anything you want
Well you can celebrate anything you want

I do a road hog
Well you can penetrate any place you go
Yes you can penetrate any place you go
I told you, all I want is you
Everything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because...

I pick a moon dog
Well you can radiate everything you are
Yes you can radiate everything you are

I wrote a lorry
Well you can imitate everyone you know
Yes you can imitate everyone you know
I told you, all I want is you
Everything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because...

I feel the wind blow
Well you can indicate ev'rything you see
Yes you can indicate ev'rything you see--
Ooh.
I dug a pony
Well you can syndicate any boat you row
Yes you can syndicate any boat you row
I told you, all I want is youe
Ev'rything has got to bejust like you want it to
Because...



Across The Universe (Lennon/McCartney)

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world



I Me Mine (Harrison)

All through the day
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
All through the night
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Now they're frightened of leaving it
Everyone's weaving it
Coming on strong all the time,
All through the day I me mine

I, me, me mine...I, me, me mine
I, me, me mine...

All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
No one's frightened of playing it
Ev'ryone's saying it,
Flowing more freely than wine
All through the day I me mine

I, me, me mine...I, me, me mine
I, me, me mine...
All I can hear
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
Even those tears
I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
No one's frightened of playing it
Everyone's saying it
Flowing more freely than wine
All through your life I me mine



Dig It (Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)

Like a rolling stone
A like a rolling stone
Like the FBI and the CIA
And the BBC, BB King
And Doris Day
Matt Busby
Dig it, dig it, dig it
Dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it


(That was 'Can You Dig It' by Georgie Wood. And now we'd like to do 'Hark The Angels Come'.)


Let it Be (Lennon/McCartney)

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be



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



I've Got A Feeling (Lennon/McCartney)

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Yeah I've got a feeling

Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
And if you leave me I won't be late again
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no
Yeah I've got a feeling yeah

All these years I've been wandering around
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you

Everybody had a hard year
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down
Oh yeah, Oh yeah

(Oh my soul... so odd)



One After 909 (Lennon/McCartney)

My baby says she's travelling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice
I said I'm travelling on the one after 909 I got my bag, run to the station
Railman says you've got the the wrong location
I got my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrong

Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice

I said we're trav'ling on the one after 9 0,
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 9 0,
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 909



The Long And Winding Road (Lennon/McCartney)

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before It always leads me here
leads me to your door

The wild and windy night the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried, but

Still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door
Da, da, da, da



For You Blue (Harrison)

(The Queen says no to pot smoking FBI members)

Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true
I love you more than ever girl I do

I want you in the morning girl I love you
I want you at the moment I feel blue
I'm living every moment girl for you

(hop...hop cat hop
go, Johnny, go...
them ol' 12-bar blues
Elmore James got nothing on this baby!)

I've loved you from the moment I saw you
You looked at me that's all you had to do
I feel it now I hope you feel it too

Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true
I love you more than ever girl I do
I really love you



Get Back (Lennon/McCartney)

(Sweet Loretta Fat thought she was a cleaner but she was a frying pan.)

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

Get back Jojo, go home
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta, go home
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Loretta
Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

(Thanks, Mo) (on behalf of the group I hope we passed the audition.)
