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
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,
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.

DAY TRIPPER

Got a good reason for taking the easy way out,
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out - now,

She was a day tripper,
One way ticket, yeh,
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there,
She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there - now,

She was a day tripper,
One way ticket, yeh.
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands,
Tried to please her, she only played one night stands - now,

She was a day tripper,
Sunday driver, yeh,
It took me so long to find out, and I found out.
Day tripper, yeh.

DEAR PRUDENCE

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play.
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day.
The sun is up, the sky is blue.
It's beautiful and so are you.

Dear Prudence won't you come out to play?

That you are part of everything.

Dear Prudence like a little child.
The clouds will be a daisy chain.
So let me see you smile again.
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET

You'll never know how much I really love you,
You'll never know how much I really care,

Listen, do you want to know a secret,
Do you promise not to tel, Whoa . . . . .

I've known a secret for a week or two,
Nobody knows just we two.

DON´T BOTHER ME

Since she's been gone I want no one to talk to me.
It's not the same but I'm to blame, it's plain to see.
So go away, leave me alone, don't bother me.
I can't believe that she would leave me on my own.

It's just not right when every night I'm all alone.
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me.
I know I'll never be the same if I don't get her back again.
Because I know she'll always be the only girl for me.

But 'till she's here please don't come near, just stay away.
I'll let you know when she's come home. Until that day,
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me.
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me.

I know I'll never be the same if I don't get her back again.
Because I know she'll always be the only girl for me.
But 'till she's here please don't come near, just stay away.
I'll let you know when she's come home. Until that day,
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me.

Don't bother me.
Don't bother me.
Don't bother me.
Don't bother me.

DON´T LET ME DOWN

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Nobody ever loved me like she does
Ooh she does. Yes she does
And if somebody loved me
Like she do me
Ooh she do me. Yes she does

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's going to last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that has no past

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

And from the first time that she really done me
Ooh she done me. She done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Ooh she done me
She done me
She done me good

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down.

DON´T PASS ME BY

I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive,
Listen for your footsteps but they don't arrive,
Waiting for your knock dear on my old front door,
I don't hear it,
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?

I hear the clock a-ticking on the mantelshelf,
See the hands a-moving but I'm by myself,
I wonder where you are tonight and why I'm by myself,
I don't see you.
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?

Sorry that I doubted you, I was so unfair,
You were in a car crash and you lost your hair,
You said that you would be late an hour or two
I said that's all right
I'm waiting here just waiting to hear from you.

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue,
'Cause you know daring I love only you,
You'll never know it hurt me so,
How I hate to see you go,
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry.

DRIVE MY CAR

Asked a girl what she wanted to be,
She said, baby can't you see?
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen,
But you can do something in between.

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I'll love you.

I told that girl that my prospects were good,
She said, baby it's understood,
Working for peanuts is all very fine,
But I can show you a better time.

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I'll love you.
Beep beep mm, beep beep yeh!

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I'll love you.

I told that girl I could start right away,
And she said, listen, babe, I've got something to say,
Got no car, and it's breaking my heart,
But I've found a driver, that's a start.

Baby, you can drive my car, yes I'm gonna be a star,
Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I'll love you.
Beep beep mm, beep beep yeh!
