A fairly weak Beatles album, but still it's got a few good songs and some oldies...
"There were albums which weren't any good as far as I was concerned, like Yellow Submarine." *George Harrison*

Yellow Submarine In Pepperland
Yellow Submarine (Lennon/McCartney)--We've talked about this one before, but maybe there's something new...Donovan helped with the lyrics. (Donovan was sort of England's response to Bob Dylan, and a pretty big star at that time.)
In the town where I was born,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
And our friends are all aboard,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
As we live a life of ease,
We all live in a yellow submarine, Only A Northern Song (Harrison)--This song was acutally in the recording process during the Sgt. Pepper sessions, but was chucked.
If you're listening to this song,
It doesn't really matter what chords I play,
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear,
If you think the harmony All Together Now (Lennon/McCartney)--"What's the matter John luv, blue meanies?" The Beatles have to do away with the Blue meanies by "SINGING!" They make a live appearance at the end of the cartoon Yellow Submarine and sing this song.
One, two, three, four,
A, B, C, D,
Sail the ship.
All together now (all together now),
Black, white, green, red,
All together now (all together now),
Sail the ship.
All together now (all together now), Hey Bulldog (Lennon/McCartney)--Originally called "Hey Bullfrog", but Paul, being his silly little self, barked at the end of the song. The Beatles decided to change it to "Hey Bulldog" even though a bulldog ceases to be mentioned in the lyrics. This was also the first session Yoko Ono attended with John Lennon.
Sheepdog standing in the rain,
Childlike--no one understands.
You can talk to me,
Big man walking in the park.
You can talk to me,
Hey Bulldog,
What do you say? It's All too Much (Harrison)--There's an extra verse of this song on the movie that ya can't hear on the album.
Too much!
When I look into your eyes,
It's all too much for me to take,
Floating down the stream of time,
It's all too much for me to take,
Set me on a silver sun,
It's all too much for me to see,
It's all too much for me to take,
It's too much,
With your long blond hair and your eyes of blue,
Too much, too much, too much, All you Need is Love (Lennon/McCartney)--Mick Jagger's in the audience when they sing it on that Our World thing along with Denny Laine and others!
Love, love, love,
There's nothing you can do that can't be done,
Nothing you can make that can't be made,
All you need is love,
All you need is love,
There's nothing you can know that isn't known,
All you need is love,
All you need is love (All together now),
Love is all you need (love is all you need), Instrumentals:
All the instrumentals above were written for this film by George Martin.
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines.
So we sailed into the sun,
'Til we found the sea of green,
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine.
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
Many more of them live next door.
And the band begins to play.
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
Every one of us (every one of us)
Has all we need (has all we need):
Sky of blue (sky of blue)
And sea of green (sea of green)
In our yellow (in our yellow)
Submarine (submarine, ah-ha!)
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine?
You may think the chords are going wrong,
But they're not; we just wrote it like that.
When you're listening late at night,
You may think that band is not quite right,
But they are; they just play it like that.
What words I say, or time of day it is,
'Cause it's only a northern song.
Or how I fare, or if my hair is brown,
When it's only a northern song.
Is a little dark and out of key,
You're correct. There's nobody there.
And it's only?there's no one there.
Can I have a little more?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
I love you.
Can I bring my friend to tea?
E, F, G, H, I, J,
I love you.
Chop the tree.
Skip the rope.
Look at me.
All together now,
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now).
Can I take my friend to bed?
Pink, brown, yellow, orange, and blue,
I love you.
All together now,
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now).
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now).
Chop the tree.
Skip the rope.
Look at me.
All together now,
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now).
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now).
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now),
All together now (all together now)!
Bullfrog doing it again.
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles.
What makes you think you're something special when you smile?
Jack knife in your sweaty hands.
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years.
You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears.
You can talk to me,
You can talk to me.
If you're lonely, you can talk to me.
Wigwam frightened of the dark.
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you.
You think you know me, but you haven't got a clue.
You can talk to me,
You can talk to me.
If you're lonely, you can talk to me.
Hey Bulldog,
Hey Bulldog,
Hey Bulldog.
I say ruff.
You know anymore,
ruuu ruff, waahhh,
That's it, you got it!
Quite, quite?
Hey Bulldog.
It's all too much,
It's all too much.
Your love is there for me.
And the more I go inside,
The more there is to see.
The love that's shining all around you.
Everywhere, it's what you make,
For us to take, it's all too much.
A mantra life with me.
Makes no difference where you are,
Or where you'd like to be.
The love that's shining all around me.
All the world is birthday cake,
So take a piece, but not too much.
For I know that I'm free.
Show me that I'm everywhere,
And get me home for tea.
The love that's shining all around here.
The more I learn, the less I know,
And what I do is all too much.
The love that's shining all around you.
Everywhere, it's what you make,
For us to take, it's all too much.
It's too much.
With your long blond hair and your eyes of blue,
You're too much.
Too much, too much, too much,
Too much, too much, too much,
Too much, too much, too much,
Too much, too much, too much,
Too much, too much, too much,
Too much, too much, too much,
Too much, too much, too much.
Love, love, love,
Love, love, love.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung,
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game,
It's easy.
No one you can save that can't be saved,
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time,
It's easy.
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love,
Love is all you need.
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love,
Love is all you need.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown,
There's no where you can be that isn't where you're meant to be,
It's easy.
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love,
Love is all you need.
All you need is love (everybody),
All you need is love, love,
Love is all you need.
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
Love is all you need (love is all you need),
(She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah)
(She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah)
