(Lennon/McCartney)
|
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,
|
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
|
