The continuing story of Bungalow Bill

Hey, Bungalow Bill
what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun
in case of accidents he always took his mom
he's the all American bullet-headed saxon mother's son
all the children sing: hey, Bungalow Bill
what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise
so Captain Marvel zapped in right between the eyes, zap!
all the children sing: hey, Bungalow Bill
what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

The children asked him if to kill was not a sin
not when he looked so fierce, his mother butted in
if looks could kill it would have been us instead of him
all the children sing: hey, Bungalow Bill
what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?John: voz, guitarra acústica, órgano.

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
while my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
still my guitar gently weeps.

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
while my guitar gently weeps
with every mistake we must surely be learning
still my guitar gently weeps.

I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
while my guitar gently weeps
look at you all...
still my guitar gently weeps.John: guitarra ritmica.
Paul: coros, piano, órgano, bajo.
George: voz, guitarra, órgano Hammond.

Happiness is a warm gun

She's not a girl who misses much, do do do do do do do do, oh yeah
she's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
like a lizard on a window pane
the man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
on his hobnail boots
lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
working overtime
a soap impression of his wife which he ate
and donated to the National Trust.

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jump the gun.

Happiness is a warm gun
when I hold you in my arms
and I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
because happiness is a warm gun, mama
happiness is a warm gun, yes it is
well, don't you know happiness is a warm gun, mama?John: voz, guitarra, piano.
George: guitarra, coros.
Paul: bajo, coros.

I'm so tired

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink, no, no, no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do.

You'd say I'm putting you on
but it's no joke, it's doing me harm
you know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
you know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
you know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind.

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
and curse Sir Walter Raleigh
he was such a stupid get.

You'd say I'm putting you on
but it's no joke, it's doing me harm
you know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
you know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
you know I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind.

Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
take these broken wings and learn to fly
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly

take these broken wings and learn to fly
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to arise.Paul: voz , guitarra acústica, ritmo.

Piggies

Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the dirt?
and for all the little piggies life is getting worse
always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
you will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt
always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their styes with all their backing
they don't care what goes on around
in their eyes there's something lacking
what they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives
you can see them out for dinner with their piggy wives
clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.John: efectos de sonido y coros.

Rocky Raccoon

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
and one day his woman ran off with another guy
hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that
he said I'm gonna get that boy
so one day he walked into town
booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
only to find Gideon's bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
to shoot off the legs of his rival
his rival it seems had broken his dreams
by stealing the girl of his fancy
her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
but everyone knew her as Nancy.

Now she and her man who called himself Dan
were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
he said Danny boy this is a showdown
but Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
and Rocky collapsed in the corner, ah.

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
and proceeded to lie on the table
he said Rocky you met your match
and Rocky said, doc it's only a scratch
and I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.

And now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
only to find Gideon's bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
to help with good Rocky's revival, ah.

I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive
listen for your footstep 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 mantel shelf
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?.

Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's son
all day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.

of your Hollywood song.

You became a legend of the silver screen

Savoy truffle

Creme tangerine and montelimat
a ginger sling with a pineapple heart
a coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news

after the Savoy truffle.

Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart

coconut fudge really blows down those blues
but you'll have to have them all pulled out
after the Savoy truffle.

You might not feel it now
but when the pain cuts through
you're going to know and how
the sweat is going to fill your head
when it becomes too much
you're going to shout aloud.

But you'll have to have them all pulled out

Cry baby cry

Cry baby cry, make your mother sigh
she's old enough to know better.

The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
cooking breakfast for the queen
the queen was in the parlour
playing piano for the children of the king.

Cry baby cry.

The king was in the garden
picking flowers for a friend who came to play
the queen was in the playroom
painting pictures for the childrens holiday.

Cry baby cry.

The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling
and arriving late for tea
the duke was having problems
with a message at the local bird and bee.

Cry baby cry.

for a seance in the dark
with voices out of nowhere
put on specially by the children for a lark.

Revolution 9

[Bottle of Claret for you if I had realised...
well, do it next time.
I forgot about it, George, I'm sorry.
will you forgive me?
yes.]

Number 9.

...then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants
...about the shortage of grain in hertfordshire.

Everyone of them knew that as time went by they'd get a little bit older and
a litter slower but....

It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who's always/umpteen
your father's giving it diddly-i-dee/district was leaving...
intended to die ... Ottoman
...long gone through...
I've got to say, irritably and...

...floors, hard enough to put on ... per day's MD in our district
there was not really enough light to get down
and ultimately ... slumped down
suddenly...

They may stop the funding...
place your bets
the original
afraid she'll die ...
great colours for the season.

Number 9.

Who's to know?.

I sustained nothing worse than ...
also, for example
whatever you're doing
a business deal falls through
I informed him on the third night, when fortune gives...
people ride, people ride
ride, ride, ride, ride, ride.

...I've missed all of that
it makes me a few days late
compared with, like, wow!
and weird stuff like that...

...taking our sides sometimes
...floral bark.

Rouge doctors have brought this specimen
I have nobody's short-cuts, aha...
9, number 9
...with the situation
they are standing still
the plan, the telegram...
number 9, number...

A man without terrors from beard to false
as the headmaster reported to my son
he really can try, as they do, to find function...
tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high
and his eyes were low...

Alright!.

It was on fire and his glasses were the same
this thing knows if it was tinted
but you know it isn't
to me it is...

So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon to price it ...
yellow underclothes
so, any road, we went to see the dentist instead
who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all
so I said I'd marry, join the fucking navy and went to sea.

In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair
I'm not in the mood for whirling.

How? Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping
birds for birding and fish for fishing
them for themming and when for whimming.

...only to find the night-watchman unaware of his
presence in the building.

Industry allows financial imbalance
thrusting it between his shoulder blades
the Watusi, the twist
Eldorado
take this, brother, may it serve you well.

Maybe it's nothing
what? what? oh...
Maybe, even then, impervious in London.

...could be difficult thing...
it's quick like rush for peace is because it's so much
like being naked.

It's alright, it's alright.

If, you became naked.John: voz, piano, melotrón, efectos de sonido, loops.
George: voz, loops.
