You never give me your money
You only give me your paper
And in the middle of negotiations you break down
I never give you my number
I only give my situation
And in the middle of investigation I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But, oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Yes it did (na, na, na)

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven

Ah
Here comes the Sun King
Here comes the Sun King
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy
Here comes the Sun King

Quando paramucho mi amore defelice corazon
Mundo pararazzi mi amore chicka ferdy parasol
Cuesto obrigado tanta mucho que can eat it carousel

Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark, trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy him some clothes
Keeps a ten bob note up his nose
Such a dirty old man

His sister Pam works in the shop
She doesn't stop; she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man

Well, you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking, but she looks like a man
Well, you should see her in drag
Dressed in her polythene bag
Yes, you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl
Who makes the News Of The World
Yes, you could say that she's attractively built
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(John) She's coming in the house
(Paul) Oh, look out!
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wonders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though I thought I knew the answer
Well, I knew what I could not say
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
Although she tried her best to help me
She could steal, but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh, yeah

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep, pretty darling; do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep, pretty darling; do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only give you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down

Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Oh yeah!
All right!
Are you going to be in my dreams tonight?

Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you
Love you, love you, love you, love you, love you, love you

And, in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make

Her majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day
I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I got to get a bellyful of wine
Her majesty's a real nice girl
Someday I'm going to make her mine
Oh yeah, someday I'm going to make her mine

    General Comment:I think the medley is a history of the Beatles . . . maybe not in completely chronological order, but it's all there . . . from their early years struggling and having money trouble but loving their music, finding some success (one sweet dream), going to Germany (ten-mark note up the nose), becoming the Fab Four in Mod London (polythene pam), going to India to visit the Sun King and meditate, Linda coming in through the bathroom window with her silver spoon, life getting crazier and crazier, then Brian Epstein dies and Paul has to take over running the band's business as well as being the studio taskmaster (carry that weight) until it's over . . . and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

    My Opinion:I LOVE THIS MEDLEY!! I think the Beatles should have left Her Majesty in between Mean Mr. Mustard and Polythene Pam because if they did I wouldn't need to press any buttons on my i pod to not have a gap of silence... oh, well. It's neat how Carry That Wheight has a verse in the tune of You Never Give Me Your Money cuz it proove it's still the same 16 min. long song

    General Comment:It's entirely correct to consider this medley to be one song: it's like the Beatles' precursor to Supper's Ready and various Pink Floyd tracks of epic duration. Lyrically it's not quite as well structured as Supper's Ready but it's all tied together quite neatly by "The End".

    Personally I think it's a shame that Her Majesty even exists as it trivializes what should have been the greatest career closing moment of all time. Oh well, that's Paul for you, always having to get in one last dig in at the expense of the others.

    General Comment:I'm glad you consider this one song...because it is. If you listen to the songs individually, they just sound unfinished.

    General Comment:Side 2 Abbey Road. Here was the Beatles' swan song to the world. They really put a lot of work into Abbey Road, wanting to Get Back to where they once belonged. This medley is incredible. Perfect harmonies, great instrumental work...everything comes to a head and then boom She came in through the bathroom window. How sweet it is. But it doesn't end there.. Golden slumbers, an original classic children's lullabye staright into Carry That Weight and then the heavy lead guitars they trade licks with. Sum it all up and we finally get the message they tried to convey to us all over the course of the decade..."And in the End, the Love you take, is equal to the love you make." It's always been about spreading love, it was their gospel.

    So just when you think it's over, Paul has the last word. Kind of fitting it was, fighting with John all the time.

    Put your headphones on - turn it up loud and lay back and enjoy the greatest medley of all time!

    General Comment:"Her Majesty", tacked on the end, was originally part of the side two medley, appearing between "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam". McCartney disliked the way the medley sounded when it included "Her Majesty", so he had the medley re-edited to remove it. However, second engineer John Curlander had been instructed never to throw out anything the Beatles created, so after the group left the recording studio that day, he picked it up off the floor, spliced 14 seconds of red leader tape onto the final mix reel, and then spliced in "Her Majesty" immediately after the leader tape. The box of the album's master reel had a notation stating to leave "Her Majesty" off the final product, but the next day when Malcolm Davies at Apple received the tape, he (also trained not to throw anything away) cut a playback lacquer of the whole sequence, including "Her Majesty". The Beatles liked this effect and left it on the album.

    General Comment:They are snippets of songs that were incomplete when the Beatles made the White Album. There were other snippets written in the same time period like "Junk" that didn't get on any Beatles album, but made the second McCartney album. It is masterful the way that they take some songs about women, some about their stay in India and weave them together. I think that Golden Slumbers may be the greatest melody from the Beatles - it rivals For No One and Here There and Everywhere. What a great collection of pieces of songs that are timeless when strung together.

    General Comment:A very superb and excellent Beatles Medley! From You Never Give Me Your Money to She Came In Through The Bathroom Window and the second medley which is from Golden Slumbers to The End. I really love listening to this medleys over and over again. Most are unfinished songs but they still found a place in one of the greatest album ever made.
