They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Under the sea, under the sea
Darling, it’s better down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore, they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’, full time to floatin’
Under the sea
I am the Walrus.
I am the Eggman.
(sneaky)
The flower seller told the tale
Saw you kiss the King one minute
Then the next set sail
Two places in one time
And that’s not all
In one you’re swimming to the limit
Then the next you’re riding the whales
This clever never no man’s land
Now’s your moment, floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon; no time will be better
She don’t say a word, and she won’t say a word until you
Kiss the girl
Jenny came over and told me 'bout Brad
He’s such a “harry” but you know what he said?
Dumb as a box of hammers
But he’s such a handsome guy.
And I opened up and I told her 'bout Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
And I’m not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better!
So we laughed
Compared notes
We had a drink
We had a smoke
She took off her overcoat
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
I’m just wild about Harry
And Harry’s wild about me
The heavenly blisses of his kisses
Fill me with ecstasy
He’s sweet just like chocolate candy
Or just like honey from a bee
Oh, I’m just wild about Harry
And he’s just wild about me
Hmm, hmm
He’s just wild about me
Ooh, Ooh
Ooh
I’m just mad about Saffron
Saffron’s mad about me
I’m just mad about Saffron
And she’s just mad about me
They call me mellow yellow (quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow (quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine
Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Shallow water, channel, and tide
Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye
Tired illusion drown in the night
And I can trace my history
Down one generation to my home
In one of our submarines
One of our submarines
One of our submarines
One of our submarines
Is missing tonight
Seems she ran aground on manoeuvres
One of our submarines
I hear the roar of the big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear your empire down
I hear your empire down
I hear the roar of the big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill
I hear dive bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down
Stand straight, fall back in line
Comb your hair, get to work on time
Everyone in the big machine
Tries to break your heart, pull you underneath
Maybe I’m wrong and all that you get is what you see
Maybe I’m right and there’s something out there to believe
Everybody’s talking in their sleep
They push a lot of air around, but don’t say much of anything
Except when they’re laughing, like some ghosts under a sheet
Everybody’s talking in their sleep
Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind
Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.
And no one shall disturb the land
And no one knows the where’s or why’s.
As something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light.
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she’s here, shining in the starlight
Now she’s here; suddenly I know
If she’s here, it’s crystal clear
I’m where I’m meant to go
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin’
Trees went by, me and Del were singin’
“Little Runaway,” I was flyin’
Yeah, runnin’ down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin’ on a mystery
Goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream
We were looking so good, girl, heads were turning
You and me on the town, ooh, we let it all hang out
The fire was in us; we were burning
We were gonna go all the way, and we never had a doubt
We were running with the night
Playing in the shadows
Just you and I, til the morning light
We were running, running with the night
Sometime my mind dives deep
When I’m runnin’
I don’t want no free ride
I’m just sick and tired of runnin’
Some nights I cry
Cause I can see the day comin’
Together we’ll fly
Oh, but no more runnin’
t’s not how fast you can go
The force goes into the flow
If you pick up the beat
You can forget about the heat
More than just survival
More than just a flash
More than just a dotted line
More than just a dash
It’s a test of ultimate will
The heartbreak climb uphill
Got to pick up the pace
If you want to stay in the race
More than just blind ambition
More than just simple greed
More than just a finish line
Must feed this burning need
In the long run
I used to hurry a lot
I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til the break of day
Oh, that didn’t get it
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn’t carry on that way
Oh, I did some damage
I know it’s true
Didn’t know I was so lonely 'til I found you
You can go the distance
We’ll find out in the long run
In the long run
