[You Never Give Me Your Money]
You never give me your money
You only give me your funny 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
Nowhere to go
Ah ah ah
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
Came true today
Yes it did (na, na)
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
All good children go to heaven
…
[Sun King]
Here come the Sun King
Here come the Sun King
Everybody’s laughing
Everybody’s happy
Here come the Sun King
Quando paramucho mi amore defelice corazon
Mundo pararazzi mi amore chicka ferdy parasol
Cuesto obrigado tanta mucho cake and eat it carousel
[Mean Mr. Mustard]
Mean Mr. Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark, tryin 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 mean old man
Such a mean old man
His sister Pam works in the shop
She never stops; 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
[Polythene Pam]
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
She’s coming in the house
Oh, look out!
[She Came In Through The Bathroom Window]
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 she 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
And though 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
[Golden Slumbers]
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
Golden Slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
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
[Carry That Weight]
Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
[The End]
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]
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
The Beatles’ Epic Medley: A Journey Through ‘The Long One’
“The Long One,” the celebrated medley from The Beatles’ Abbey Road, weaves together a patchwork of moods, stories, and musical motifs. This suite, beginning with the yearning of “You Never Give Me Your Money” and ending with the whimsical “Her Majesty,” captures themes of hope, disillusionment, and bittersweet reflection. Each segment—whether it’s the surreal whimsy of “Sun King,” the oddball characters like “Mean Mr. Mustard” and “Polythene Pam,” or the soothing comfort of “Golden Slumbers”—contributes a unique piece to the emotional mosaic. The medley crescendos with “The End,” where the iconic lyric, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make,” ties together the album’s contemplative spirit, leaving listeners with a sense of closure and optimism.
