how about some white honey pie.
Took us on a magical mystery tour
Nowhere Man made us laugh and cry
showed us all we needed was love
told us not to let our dreams die.
(Repeat Chorus)
So does it really matter
if the walrus was John or Paul?
what about all the lonely people
and Eleanor's poor face in a jar.
Who knew eight days were in a week
or that living was a hard day's night?
that life could be a long winding road
that Strawberry Fields was oh so right.
Sgt Pepper was the leader of the band
shouting peace and love for all
all they wanted was to hold your hand
they were John George Ringo and Paul!
(Repeat Chorus)

Looking back at those groovy days of youth
times seemed to be full of fab gear sounds
as Mersey beats invaded our pocket radios
mop top hair and pointed boots all around.
Four young lads led a musical revolution
lucy with her diamonds rising so high
blackbirds, cold turkey, yellow custard
tangerine dreams with marshmellow pies.
Summer rain fell across the universe
sounds of sweet honey pie for you blue
nothings gonna change our world we thought
forever strawberrys were made just for you.
Sometimes life made it hard to let it be
and the taxman seemed to want it all
but doctor Roberts and the Walrus arrived
and showed us all how to have a ball.
So is this a hello or goodbye for you?
tomorrow never knows if you've been
so gather lots of flowers along the way
and of course a little help from your friends.
And when good morning turns to good night
and the old brown shoe begins to fall
we will always remember those crazy days
come together and share being part of it all.
Special memories from me to you
tangerine dreams, love was all around
dancing, holding hands, singing a tune
those special days with special sounds.
Incense, tie-dye, and those fabulous beads
beautiful words making a beautiful sound
four special lads just having some fun
tangerine days, sure glad I was around.
