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.
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Starr
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk
out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to
sing out of key.
*I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little
help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How
do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No I get by with a little help from my friends,
*
Do you need anybody,
I need somebody to love.
Could it be
anybody
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes I'm certain that it
happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't
tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
*
Do you need anybody,
I just need somebody to love,
Could it be
anybody,
I want somebody to love.
I get by with a little help from my
friends,
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little
help from my friends.
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Lennon
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade
skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with
kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look
for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in
the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where
rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past
the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newpaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in
the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in
the sky with diamonds.
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with
looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl
with the kaleidoscope eyes.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in
the sky with diamonds.
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The
teachers who taught me weren't cool
You're holding me down, turning me
round
Filling me up with your rules.
*I've got to admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
I
have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been
mine.
Me used to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave
me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can.
*
I've got to admit it's getting better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the
things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm
doing the best that I can.
I admit it's getting better
A little better all the time
Yes I admit
it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from
wandering
Where will it go
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from
wandering
Where will it go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right
Where I belong I'm
right
Where I belong.
See the people standing there who disagree and never
win
And wonder why they don't get in my door.
I'm painting my room in the colourful way
And when my mind is
wandering
There I will go.
And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm
right
Where I belong.
Silly people run around they worry me
And never ask me why they don't get
past my door.
I'm taking the time for a number of things
That weren't important
yesterday
And I still go.
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from
wandering
Where it will go.
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begings
Silently closing her
bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes
downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief
Quietly turing the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free.
She (We gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacraficed 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 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
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Lennon
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on
trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques
Fair-what a scene
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a
hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The
Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flys through the ring don't be
late
Messrs. K and H. assure the public
Their production will be second to
none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a
sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten summersets he'll undertake on solid
ground
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed
for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.
(Harrison) Lead vocal: Harrison
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide
themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far
too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could
share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With
our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realise it's all
within yourself
no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really
only very small,
and life flows within you and without you.
We were
talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world
and lose their soul-
they don't know-they can't see-are you one of
them?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of
mind,
is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
we're all
one, and life flows on within you and without you.
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney
When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be
sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you
still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too,
And it you say the word,
I could stay with
you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can
knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you
still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too
dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck &
Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate
precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still
need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney
Lovely Rita meter maid.
Lovely Rita meter maid.
Lovely Rita meter
maid.
Nothing can come between us,
When it gets dark I tow your heart away.
Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling
in a ticket in her little white book.
In a cap she looked much older,
And
the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man.
Lovely Rita meter maid,
May I inquire discreetly,
When are you
free,
To take some tea with me.
Took her out and tried to win her,
Had a laugh and over dinner,
Told
her I would really like to see her again,
Got the bill and Rita paid
it,
Took her home I nearly made it,
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or
two.
Oh, lovely Rita meter maid,
Where would I be without you,
Give us a
wink and make me think of you.
Lovely Rita meter maid.
Lovely Rita meter maid.
Lovely Rita meter
maid.
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Lennon
Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a
day how's your boy been
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to
say but it's O.K.
Good morning, good morning...
Going to work don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start
to roam then you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed it's like a
ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep.
And you're on your own you're in the
street
Good morning, good morning...
After a while you start to smile now you feel cool.
Then you decide to
take a walk by the old school.
Nothing has changed it's still the
same
I've got nothing to say but it's O.K.
Good morning, good morning...
People running round it's five o'clock.
Everywhere in town is getting
dark.
Everyone you see is full of life.
It's time for tea and meet the
wife.
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here.
Watching the skirts
you start to flirt now you're in gear.
Go to a show you hope she
goes.
I've got nothing to say but it's O.K.
Good morning, good morning...
(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And
though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the
photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had
changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face
before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords.
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd
of people turned away
but I just had to look
Having read the book.
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way
downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my
way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn,
Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them
all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on
