Another Beatles Christmas Record

[John Lennon]

Jingle bells-

[Paul McCartney]

Hello, everybody, this is Paul, and I'd just like to thank you all for buying our records during the past year. We know you've been buying 'em cause the sales have been very good, you see. Don't know where we'd be without you, really though

[John Lennon]

In the army, perhaps

[Paul McCartney]

Oh, we hope you've enjoyed listening to the records, as much as we've enjoyed melting them, no, no, no that's wrong, making them. We're in No. 2 studio at the moment, at EMI, taping this little message for you

[John Lennon]

Yes, we are

[Paul McCartney]

We are indeed. I just thought I'd make that, this is the same studio we've used all along, since the old days of "Love Me Do", many years ago it seems, doesn't it?

[John Lennon]

Ah, those were the days

[Paul McCartney]

Well, that's about all, I think. Except, to wish you all a Happy Christmas and a very New Year! Now I'll pass you over to John, John!

[John Lennon]

John, John speakin', thanks all of you who bought me book. Thank you folks for buying it, it was very handy. And there's another one out pretty soon, it says here. Hope you buy that, too. It'll be the usual rubbish but it won't cost much. You see, that's the bargain we're going to strike up. I write them in my spare time, it says here. It's been a busy year

[Paul McCartney]

Did you write this yourself?

[John Lennon]

No, It's somebody's bad handwroter. It's been a busy year Beatle peadles, one way and another, but it's been a great year, too. You fans have seen to that. Page 2. Thanks a lot folks and a hap-py, uh Christmas, and a merry goo-year. Crimble maybe, and I'll hand you to George who will speak to you, now!

[George Harrison]

Thank you John, thank you. Hi there! I'd like to thank all of you for going to see the film, 'spect a lot of you saw it more than once

[Ringo Starr]

I did

[George Harrison]

Did you? So did I, thanks anyway, 'cause it makes us very pleased, you know. We had a quiet time making it. Actually, we didn't, we had a great time making it, and we're glad it turned out okay. The next one should be completely different. We start shooting it in February. This time it's gonna be in colour

[John Lennon]

Green

[George Harrison]

It'll be a big laugh we hope, well (Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha), Big laugh, ha ha ha, yeah, it'll be a big laugh

[John Lennon]

Be a big laugh, you we're makin'?

[George Harrison]

And we may see all of you soon, hope so anyway, all the best and happy New Year and a Happy Christmas and here's Ringo

[Ringo Starr]

Thanks, George. Ringo here. Well, the others have thanked you for the discs and John's book and for everything, oh no for enjoying the film. I'd like to thank you just for being fans. It's been a funny year, you know. One minute we're in England, next we're away, 'spect you're wondering where we've been. Well, Beatle people, we've been to Australia *crash* and America and New- who's dropping that, New Zealand, and Australia

[John Lennon]

And New Zealand

[Ringo Starr]

Was that New Zealand? So much travelling! But you've stayed loyal, haven't you? Anyway, those airport receptions knocked us out, man, great

[John Lennon]

Dig!

[Ringo Starr]

Well, that's about it from me, I'd just like to say, all the best for Christmas and happy new year

That's about it

[All]

Oh, can you wash your father's shirt

Can you wash it clean?

Oh, can you wash your father's shirt

Can you wash it clean?

Oh, can you wash your father's shirt

Can you wash it clean? Oo

Christmas! (Happy Christmas, everybody!)

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas! Yeah!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas! Happy Christmas! Christmas!

Happy Christmas!
