The Beatles (1965–1969): Season 3, Episode 6 - Wait/I'm Only Sleeping - full transcript
You tell me that you've got
everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me,
you don't get me
You say you've seen seven wonders
and your bird is green
But you can't see me,
you can't see me
When your bird is broken
will it bring you down
You may be awoken,
I'll be round, I'll be round
You tell me that you've heard
every sound there is
And your bird can swim
But you can't hear me,
you can't hear me
Once upon a time
in the kingdom of Kropotkin
there lived a Young Prince
- Being a prince is drag, man
A million to lead a group
I blow comb and tissue paper
The Wicked Prime-Minister
hates the Prince
and his rock'n'roll music
But he loves the Princess
Amanda
from the neighbouring kingdom
of Kalkamania
Naturally, she
loves the Prince
But I hate
his rock'n'roll music, too
You are the greatest
comb and tissue paper player
of all times, Prince
You are to lead a group
Go out in the world
and lose yourself
He means
that I should find myself
No, I mean lose yourself
And so the Prince went away
Leading the Princess
to be promised and marriaged
to the Wicked Prime-Minister
to which I immediately replied
Help!
All right, so we made a mistake
But at least we're trying
It's from the Princess
She wants us to find the Prince
Here, Prince! Here, Prince!
And bring him back in time
to stop her wedding
to the Wicked Prime-Minister
I saw that movie
Here, Prince! Here, Prince!
The Prince?
Yeah, you're in the lead
of your group?
Terrible!
Really bad, eh?
You've got less
than twenty four hours
to get back to Kropotkin
and stop the wedding
It's been a long time
Now I'm
coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how
I've been alone
Wait
till I come back to your side
We'll forget
the tears we've cried
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait,
turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on,
I won't delay
Wait
till I come back to your side
We'll forget
the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It's been a long time
Now I'm
coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how
I've been alone
Wait
till I come back to your side
We'll forget
the tears we've cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I've been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I'll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
But if your heart breaks
Don't wait,
turn me away
And if your heart's strong
Hold on,
I won't delay
Wait
till I come back to your side
We'll forget
the tears we've cried
It's been a long time
Now I'm
coming back home
I've been away now
Oh how
I've been alone
You? You've lied, man
You told me I blew great
comb and tissue paper
But you do, you do
But just you say that
under the Kropotkin's
Bell of Truth
You play beautifully
Darling
Now, everyone ready
for the sing-along?
This is the part of the show
in which all you people at home
join in and sing along with us.
Now this first song starts off
with a real BANG!
Hold everything, George!
Did I just hear you say
this song starts off with a BANG?
My very words.
Well if you really expect
the people at home to join in,
you first ought to put them
in the right mood.
The right mood?
Certainly! You got to create
the proper atmosphere!
Here, I'll show you!
Well, what do you think?
I think you've flipped
your blinking wig!
Well you said this next song
starts off with a...
BANG, Ha Ha, Yeah
You sure you wouldn't rather do
Smoke Gets Into Your Eyes?
Sing, people?
Those apples're pretty good
but I expect you to do even better
on this next number.
Just stand right up
and shout out the lyrics.
Are you ready?
Hold it George!
Ain't you forgetting something?
Forgetting something?
The setting! I keep telling
you got to put the audience
in the proper mood first!
For the last time I listened
to your suggestion,
we were nearly blown
to smitheroons!
So, now you're exaggerating!
Smithereens
is a good ten miles from here.
What do you say: give us
one more chance, eh? Eh?
Well, all right.
This next song
is one that really takes off.
Take-off you say? I think
I just got the right thing!
Contact!
Well, what do you think?
Let's save it for when we do:
"The flighter the bumblebrain!"
Sing, children
And so the good king Arthur
rode off with Merlin
on further adventures
John's fallen asleep
John's fallen asleep
Please don't wake me, don't
shake me, I'm only sleeping
???
Here we are
???
Oh, it's you, ???
disguise, I see a troubadour
??? play that thing
??? Your Majesty
This fire-breathing man-eating
monster is smashing ???
and laying waste
the countryside
Please send us a brave knight
to rid us of this curse
So who will ride with me
upon this quest?
Eh, this mighty knight
good ?
Ah, a troubadour
you will ride with me
Madam ride you with me
and this fair youth
And with Merlin's heip
Merlin's heip?
- ?with Merlin's heip
Peace will come again
to your fair land
???
Come along laddie
???
Who did that?
He did.
Help! Run for your lives!
Charge!
??? distract. All we'll have
to is put the scorch to sleep
Yeah? how?
Sing.
- Sing?
But I'm a group!
A what?
- A group, man!
Plural! Like I'm four fellows!
??? is strange
Whatever thing you say?
Right
Double-double? cauldron buble
Oh there you are, John!
- Yeah!
The fans are getting rougher
all the time
When I wake up early
in the morning
Lift my head,
I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle
of a dream
Stay in bed,
float upstream
float upstream
Please don't wake me,
no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am,
I'm only sleeping
Everybody seems
to think I'm lazy
I don't mind,
I think they're crazy
Running everywhere
at such a speed
Until they find
there's no need
there's no need
Please don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away
And after all,
I'm only sleeping
Keeping and eye on the world
going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring
at the ceiling
Waiting for
a sleepy feeling
Please don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away
And after all,
I'm only sleeping
Keeping an eye on the world
going by my window
Taking my time
When I wake up early
in the morning
Lift my head,
I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle
of a dream
Staying in bed, float upstream
float upstream
Please don't wake me,
no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am,
I'm only sleeping
Wake up John, you're dreaming.
What a dream I had.
We know, we were there.
It's been a hard day's night,
and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night,
I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you
I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all days
to get you money
to buy you things
And it's worth it
just to hear you say
you're going to give me
everything
So why on earth should I moan,
'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok
When I'm home
everything seems to be right
When I'm home
feeling you holding me tight,
It's been a hard day's night,
and I been working?
The second part of this show
was brought to you by
everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me,
you don't get me
You say you've seen seven wonders
and your bird is green
But you can't see me,
you can't see me
When your bird is broken
will it bring you down
You may be awoken,
I'll be round, I'll be round
