The Beatles Lyrics, album "Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany"
JOHN 1980: 'That's Paul doing his usual job of producing what George Martin used to call a 'potboiler.' I helped with a couple of the lyrics.'PAUL 1988: 'I wrote it with John.
We sagged off school and wrote it on guitars.
I remember I had the lyrics, 'Just seventeen/Never been a beauty queen,' which John… it was one of the first times he ever went, 'What? Must change that!' And it became, 'you know what I mean.''PAUL circa-1994: 'Sometimes we would just start a song from scratch, but one of us would nearly always have a germ of an idea, a title, or a rough little thing they were thinking about and we'd do it.
'I Saw Her Standing There' was my original.
I'd started it and I had the first verse, which therefore gave me the tune, the tempo, and the key.
It gave you the subject matter, alot of information, and then you had to fill in.
So it was co-written… and we finished it that day.

Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing thereWell she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing thereWell, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mineWhoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing thereWell, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mineWhoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there
Oh since I saw her standing there
Oh since I saw her standing there
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (Ooh)
When I saw her standing thereWell she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing thereWell, my heart went "boom"

Roll Over Beethoven
(Chuck Berry)
(Chuck Berry)
Well gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It's a rocking little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
Gotta hear it again todayYou know my temperature's rising
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart beating rhythm
While my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the newsI got a rocking pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I caught it off the writer
Sittin' down by the rhythm reviews
Roll over Beethoven
We're rockin' in two by twoWell if you feel it and like it
Well get your lover and reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up
Just triffle further and reel and rock it
Roll it over
Roll over Beethoven
A rocking in two by two - OooWell early in the morning
I'm a giving you the warning
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle
I'll play my fiddle
Ain't got nothing to lose
Roll over Beethoven
And tell Tchaikovsky the newsYou know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinning top
She's got a crazy partner
Oughta see them reel an rock
Long as she's got a dime
The music will never stop
Roll over Beethoven
Roll over Beethoven

Mad at you 'cause your feet's too big
I hate you 'cause your feet's too bigMy Goodness! Gun the gunboats!

To me, you look just like a fossil
You got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin'

Your, your pedal extremities really are obnoxious
One never knows, do one?

JOHN 1963: 'I always hate singing the song, 'Twist And Shout' when there's a colored artist on the bill with us.
It doesn't seem right, you know.
I feel sort of embarrassed… It makes me curl up.
I always feel they could do the song much better than me.'JOHN 1971: 'The more interesting songs to me were the black ones because they were more simple.
They sort of said shake-your-arse, or your prick, which was an innovation really.
The blacks were singing directly and immediately about their pain, and also about sex, which is why I like it.'JOHN 1976: 'The last song nearly killed me.
My voice wasn't the same for a long time after – everytime I swallowed it was like sandpaper.
I was always bitterly ashamed of it because I could sing it better than that, but now it doesn't bother me.
You can hear I'm just a frantic guy doing his best.'PAUL 1988: 'There's a power in John's voice there that certainly hasn't been equaled since.
And I know exactly why – It's because he worked his bollocks off that day.
We left 'Twist And Shout' until the very last thing because we knew there was one take.'RINGO 1994: 'We started (recording the album) about noon and finished it at midnight, with John being really hoarse by 'Twist And Shout.''

Reminiscing
(King Curtis)
(King Curtis)
Friday night, it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?How to tell you, girl
I want to build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I want to make you understand
I'm talking about a lifetime planThat's the way it began
We were hand-in-hand
Glenn Miller's band
Was better than before
We yelled and screamed for moreAnd the Porter tune (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
On the way back home
I promised you'd never be aloneHurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscingFriday night, it was late
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate
And I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscingHurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing

Nothin' Shakin' (But the Leaves on the Trees)
(Eddie Fontaine, Cirino Colacrai, Diane Lampert and John Gluck)
(Eddie Fontaine, Cirino Colacrai, Diane Lampert and John Gluck)
I found it out
What love is all about
And every day
It sure lets out
I see my baby
I get weak in my knees
There's nothing shaking
But the leaves on the trees
My pappie told me
There'd be times like these
There's nothing shaking
But the leaves on the treesWe meet the gang
And go to rocking Joes
The cats are something
On the heels and toes
I grab my baby
Tried to give her a squeeze
There's nothing shaking
But the leaves on the trees
Well why must she be
Such a doggone tease?
There's nothing shaking
But the leaves on the treesShe's got a way
That makes me act like a fool
Spent my money
Then she plays me cool
I begged her for kisses
On my bended knees
Oh won't you give me
Some loving, baby
Please please pleaseThough I keep trying hard
To make her mine
One day the wind will blow
And the sun will shine
Till that time
She puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking
But the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart
And threw away the keys
There's nothing shaking
But the leaves on the trees, yeahShe's got a way
That makes me act like a fool
Spent my money
Then she plays me cool
I'm begging for her kisses
On my bended knees
Oh won't you give me
Some of your loving, baby
Please please pleaseThough I keep trying hard
To make her mine
One day the wind will blow
And the sun will shine
Till that time
She puts my heart at ease
There's nothing shaking
But the leaves on the trees
She locked my heart
And threw away the keys
There's nothing shaking

Little Queenie
(Chuck Berry)
(Chuck Berry)
I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There she is again
Standing over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeenMeanwhile I was thinking...
Well if she's in the mood
No need to break it
I got the chance, and I oughta take it
If she'll dance, then we can make it
Come on queenie, let's shake itGo, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenieTell me, who's the queen
Standing over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeenMeanwhile, I was still thinkin ...
If it's a slow song, we'll omit it
If it's a rocker, that'll get it
And if it's good, she'll admit it
C'mon queenie, let's get with itGo, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
Go, go, go, little queenie
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees

Hallelujah, I Love Her So
(Ray Charles)

Let me tell you about a girl I know
She's my baby and I love her soEvery morning when the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know, yes I know
Hallelujah I just love her soWhen I call her on the telephone
She says: baby, I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
She'll be knocking on my doorIn the evening when the sun goes down
And there ain't nobody else around
She kisses…

RINGO 1964: 'I'm featured on it.
Actually it was written by Carl Perkins about six years ago.
Carl came to the session.
I felt very embarrassed.
I did it just two days before I went in the hospital (with tonsilitis) so please forgive my throat.'

Was it in Tahiti?
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, singing our song
I recall that I saw your smileI Remember You
You're the one
Who made my dreams
Come true
A few kisses agoI remember you
You're the one
Who said
I love you too
Didn't you know?I remember too
A distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain
Out of the blueWhen my life is through
And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of them all
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, singing our song
I recall that I saw your smileI Remember You
You're the one
Who made my dreams
Come true
A few kisses agoI remember you
You're the one
Who said
I love you too
Didn't you know?I remember too
A distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain
Out of the blueWhen my life is through
And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of them all
