Beatles songs, Honey PieHoney Pie(Paul McCartney – John Lennon and Paul McCartney)Albums in which the song is present1968 - The Beatles (White Album)1996 - Anthology 3 PAUL 1968: 'My dad's always played fruity old songs like that, you know. And I liked 'em. I like the melody of old songs, and the lyrics actually as well. There's some old lyrics, like, you know – the woman singing about the man, and she's saying something about 'I wanna have his initial on my monogram.' You know what I mean? There's good lyrics and just good thoughts that you don't sort of hear so much these days, you know. And so, I would quite like to have been a 1920's writer, 'cuz I like that thing, you know. Umm, you know, up in top hat and tails and sort of coming-on to 'em. So this kind of number, I like that thing. But, uhh… So this is just me doing it, pretending I'm living in 1925.'GEORGE 1987: 'John played a brilliant solo on 'Honey Pie' – sounded like Django Reinhardt or something. It was one of them where you just close your eyes and happen to hit all the right notes… sounded like a little jazz solo.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I very much liked that old crooner style – the strange fruity voice that they used, so 'Honey Pie' was me writing one of them to an imaginary woman, across the ocean, on the silver screen, who was called Honey Pie. It's another of my fantasy songs. We put a sound on my voice to make it sound like a scratchy old record. So it's not a parody, it's a nod to the vaudville tradition that I was raised on.' She was a working girl North of England way Now she's hit the big time In the USA And if she could only hear me This is what I'd sayHoney pie you are making me crazy I'm in love but I'm lazy So won't you please come homeOh honey pie my position is tragic Come and show me the magic Of your Hollywood songYou became a legend of the silver screen And now the thought of meeting you Makes me weak in the kneeOh honey pie you are driving me frantic Sail across the Atlantic To be where you belongHoney pie come back to me, ohYeah I like it like that, oh ah I like this kind of hot kind of music Hot kind of music Play it to me, play it to me, honey, the bluesWill the wind that blew her boat Across the sea Kindly send her sailing back to meHoney pie you are making me crazy I'm in love but I'm lazy So won't you please come home Come, come back to me, honey pieOooooooooooh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Honey pie, honey pie |
