(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


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
