It was twenty years ago today
  Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play
  They’ve been going in and out of style
  But they’re guaranteed to raise the smile
  So may I introduce to you
  The act you’ve known for all these years
  Seargeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

  We’re Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
  We hope you will enjoy the show
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
  Sit back and let the evening go
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonley
  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 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 Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

  Picture yourself in a boat on a river
  With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
  Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
  A girl with caleidoscope 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, oh.

  Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain
  Where rocking horse people eat mashmallow 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, oh.

  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 caleidoscope eyes.

  Lucy in the sky with diamonds
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds, oh.
 
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds, oh.

  It’s getting better all the time
  I used to get mad in my school ( No, I can’t complain )
  The teachers that taught me weren’t cool ( No, I can’t complain )
  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 ( Can’t get no worse )
  I have to admit it’s getting better
  I’ts getting better since you’ve been mine.

  Me used to be 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
  A little better all the time
  I have to admit it’s getting better
  It’s betting better since you’ve been mine.
  Getting so much better all the time
  It’s getting better all the time ( Better, better, better )
  It’s getting better all the time ( Better, better, 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 betting better since you’ve been mine.
  Getting so much better all the time

  It’s getting better all the time ( Better, better, better )
  It’s getting better all the time ( Better, better, better )
  Getting so much better all the time.

  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 disagre and never win
  And wonder why they don’t get in my door.

  I’m painting my 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
  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.

  Fixing a hole where the rain gets in
  Stops my mind from wandering
  Where it will go.

  Wednesday morning at five o’clock as the day begins
  Silently closing her bedroom door
  Leaving the note that she hope would say more

  She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
  Quietly turning the backdoor key
  Stepping outside she is free.

  She ( We gave her most of our lives )
  Is leaving ( Sacrified 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 the 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 thought of ourselves )
  Is leaving ( Never a thought for ourselves )
  Home ( We gave her everything money could buy )
  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 a 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 ).

  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 man 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 flies 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.

  We’be been some days in preparation
  A splendid time is guarenteed for all
  And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.

  We were talking - about the space betweeen 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 withing 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’ve seen beyound 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.

  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 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 fireside
  Sunday morning 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
  Your 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.

  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 the ticket in her little white book

  In the cap she look 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 you are free to take some tea with me - Rita!

  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 and nearly made it
  Sitting on a 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, Lovely Rita meter maid.

  Good morning, good morning, good morning, ah!
  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, ah!
  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, ah!

  Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I’m here
  Watching the skirts you starts 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
  Good morning, good morning, good
  Good morning, good morning, good...

  We’re Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
  We hope you have enjoyed the show
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
  We’re sorry, but it’s time to go.
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely.

  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
  We’d like to thank you once again
  Sergeant Pepper’s one and only Lonely Hearts Club Band
  It’s getting very near the end.
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely
  Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

  I read the news today, oh boy
  About a lucky man who made a 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 have changed
  A crowd of people stood and stared
  They’ve 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 notice I was late.

  Found my coat and grabbed my head
  Made the bus in seconds flat
  Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
  And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
  Aaaaaaaaaaaa.......Aaaaaaaaaaaa.....

  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...
