Revolution 9

[Intro: Alistair Taylor & George Martin]

—Bottle of claret for you if I'd realised (Well, do next time)

I'd forgotten all about it, George, I'm sorry

Will you forgive me?

Yes

(Cheeky bitch)

[Refrain]

(Number nine) Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number (Number, number nine, number nine)

[Verse 1]

And then, there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants

About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire

Everyone of them knew that as time went by

They'd get a little bit older and a little bit slower but

But this was only aforesaid thing, and a scarecrow can do factory work

Those old umpteen type of humpty-dumpty jewel finders

In the, in the, uh, in the district that they really intended to pay for

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

Number nine, number nine

[Interlude]

(...colors for the season)

And who was to know? (Everybody who knew who they were was in the—)

Who was to know?

[Refrain]

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine

[Verse 2]

I sustained nothing worse than

Also for example

Whatever you're doing

A business deal falls through

I informed him on the third night

When fortune gives

[Refrain]

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine

[Interlude]

Right! Right!

Right, right, right, right!

Right!

Right!

[Refrain]

Number nine, number nine, number nine

[Verse 3]

I've missed all of that

It makes me a few days late

Compared with, like, wow!

And weird stuff like that

Taking our sides sometimes

Floral bark

Rogue doctors have brought this specimen

I have nobody's short-cuts, aha

[Refrain]

Number nine, number nine

[Verse 4]

With the situation

They are standing still

Upon the telegram

Ooh, ooh

[Refrain]

Number nine, number

[Verse 5]

A man without terrors from beard to false

As the headmaster reported to me

My son, he really can try as they do to find function (Tell what he was saying, and his voice was low and his hive high)

And his eyes were low

Umpire, his glasses insane

We'd better go to see us in

Alright (Number nine)

Hold that line!

Hold that line!

Hold that line!

[Refrain]

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine

[Verse 6]

So the wife called me, and we'd better go to see a surgeon

Or whatever to price it yellow underclothes

So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead

Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all

So, instead of that, he joined the bloody navy and went to sea

[Interlude]

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

[Verse 7]

In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair

I'm not in the mood for whirling

[Interlude]

Um-da

Ahh

[Verse 8]

How?

Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping

Birds for birding and fish for fishing

Them for themming and when for whimming

Hold that flag!

Only to find the night-watchman

Unaware of his presence in the building (—right)

Onion soup

Please hear that

[Refrain]

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine (Industrial output)

[Verse 9: Unknown, Yoko Ono]

Financial imbalance

Thrusting it between his shoulder blades

The Watusi

The Twist

El Dorado

Take this, brother, may it serve you well

Maybe it's nothing

Ah

Maybe it's nothing

What? What? Oh

Maybe even then

Exposure could be difficult thing

It's quick like rush for peace is

Because it's so much

It was like being naked

If you become naked

[Outro]

Hold that line!

Hold that line!

Hold that line!

Hold that line!

Hold that line!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!

Block that kick!
