It was twenty years ago today Sergeant Pepper tought 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 Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band We're Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band We hope you will enjoy the show We're Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Sit back and let the evening go Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Sergeant 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 alone So let me introduce to you The one and lonely Billy Shears And Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band |

With a Little Help from My Friends
|
|
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 Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, I'm gonna 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 Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, I'm gonna try 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 Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends Do you need anybody? I does need someone to love Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends |

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
|
|
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 Celophane 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 marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper 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 turnstile The girl with kaleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds |

Getting Better
|
|
It's getting better all the time I used to get mad at my school The teachers who taught me weren't cool Holding me down Turning me round Filling me up with your rules I've got to admit it's getting better It's 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 angry young man Me hiding my 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 It's a little better all the time I have to admit it's getting better It's getting better since you've been mine Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time It's getting better all the time 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've got to admit it's getting better It's a little better all the time Yes, I admit it's getting better It's getting better since you've been mine Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time It's getting better all the time Getting so much better all the time |

Fixing a Hole
|
|
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering where it will go I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door And kept my mind from wandering where it will 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 the room in a colorful 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 See the people standing there Who disagree and never win And wonder why they don't get in my door I taking a time for a number of things That went important yesterday and I still come I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering where it will go I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wandering where it will go |

She's Leaving Home
|
|
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 down stairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief Quietly turning the back door 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 Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown Pick 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 Now could she do this to me" She (We never thought of ourselves) Is leaving (Never a thought of ourselves) Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's leaving home after living alone for so many years 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 She's leaving home, bye, bye |

Within You Without You
|
|
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 realize it's all within yourself No one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small And life flows on 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 see 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 and without you |

When I'm Sixty-Four
|
|
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 Ah, and if 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 fire side 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 on the Isle of Wight If it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save Ah, grandchildren on your knee Vera, Chuck and Dave Send me a postcard, drop me a line, stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say You're sincerely wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form, mine forever more Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I'm sixty four? |

Lovely Rita

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 ticked 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 enquire 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 |

Good morning, good morning, good morning. 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 OK Good morning, 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 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 OK Good morning, good morning, good morning People running round, it's five o'clock Everywhere in town it's getting dark Everyone you see in 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 OK Good morning, good morning, good morning |

A Day in the Life
|
|
I read the news today, oh boy About a lucky man who made the grade And though the news was rather sad 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, got out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I notice I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in second flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke And 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 |
