"The Beatles' Sixth Christmas Record" lyrics - THE BEATLES

[R:] Hello, this is a big "Hi" and a sincere Merry Christmas from yours truly, Ringo Starr

[P singing:]
Happy New Year, happy Christmas
Happy Easter, happy autumn
Happy Michelmas, ev'rybody
Happy Christmas, ev'rybody to you

I'd like to wish ev'rybody happy Christmas
This year of 1968 going on 69
Happy Christmas, happy New Year
All the best to you from here

Ah - haaa!

I'd like to wish ev'rybody
Happy Christmas, happy New Year
From there to here
Happy New Year, happy New Year
Happy New Year, happy New Year

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

[J:] Once upon a time, there were two balloons called
Jock and Yono. They were strictly in love, bound to happen
In a million years. They were together man. Unfortunate
Timetable, they seemed to have previous experience which
Kept calling them one way or another. You know how it is
But they battled on against overwhelming oddities
Including some of their beast friends. Being in love
They clung together even more man. But some of the
Poisonous monsters' outdated boss - lordy ape claws did
Stick slightly, and they occasionally had to resort to
The dry cleaners. Luckily, this did not kill them and
They weren't banned form the Olympic Games. They lived
Hopefully ever after and who could blame them?

[G:] Well, here we are again, another fab Christmas. Christmas
Time is here again. Ain't been around since last year
And we'd like to take this opportunity, all the way from
America, to say happy Christmas to you our faithful
Beloved fans all over the world who have made our life
Worth living. And over here I have Mr. Malcolm Evans who
Through thick and thin would surely like to say a word
Of greeting at this festive occasion

[M:] Merry Christmas children everywhere!

[?:] At the first stroke, it will be ...

[R:] ... Ringo Starr. Thank you!
"Good evening."
"Hello me dear. I didn't know you were coming."
"I'm not surprised."
"Well, I am! Certainly am!"
"I would have thought so myself."
"Well, if you ask me, I think it's insane."
"Occasionally."
"Yes, me, too. Twice a week sometimes."
"Fourteen and six."
"Nineteen and five to save me if you don't mind."
"Yes, I know."
"Don't you say yes to me! I'm telling you!"
"This is a private line, you know."
"Private line? I've been on this line for two years."

[R:] Well, it's my proud pleasure tonight to introduce one of
The most versatile performers in our career. And he's
Come all the way from Stokely Carmichel's -on-Sea
And I hope you're going to like him. Let's give him a
Big hand ...

[P singing:]
Happy New Year, happy Christmas
Happy Easter, happy autumn
Happy Michelmas, ev'rybody
Happy Christmas, ev'rybody to you

[J:] Once upon a pool table there lived a short-haired
Butcher's boy by the way of Ostergrad. It comes in
Scented cesspool or be careful. Her father was in a
Long story cut short in the middle of his life sentence
We're indebted to the colloquial office for its immediate
Disposal of her honorwitz, including, I might add, half a
Fell of her twotem. On the other handbag, I mean to say
L'amoure ne soome tu joure realistic, strictly speaking
For this film is about an hourglass houseboat. The full
Meaning of Winchester Cathedral defies description. Their
Loss was our Gainsborough nil

[J (double tracked):]
The sound of a manservantile defectively lasting barred
Up in a love-dizzy gar-di-dell time. How close can you
Gettysburg and ever underly council ya originally a
Birdbath feeling?

[G:] Cut!
We have a special guest here this evening, Mr
Tiny Tim. I'd like to ask him to say a few words

[T:] Oh, hello to you nice Beatles. Ah, it's so wonderful
What a thrill it is talking here. Ah, in Mr. Harrison's
Presence, Mr. Weiss' presence, and all his nice wonderful
Friends. And the thing is, I just wanna say Merry
Christmas to you all. And, ah, a Happy New Year

[G:] Thank you, Tiny. Would you like to sing us a little song?

[T:] Ah, I'd love to. Here's a song I did in 1966 in front of
Miss Jill for the first time. And I did this in Albert
Hall, and what a thrill it was, ah, to do this then, and
Now ... exactly the way I did it then

[Singing:]
He's a, ooh, real nowhere man
Living in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Hasn't got a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man, (yes?) Don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Nowhere man, the world's at your command, ooh

He's a, huh huh, real nowhere man
Living in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody, ooh, ooh

[G:] Thank you, Tiny. Thank you and God bless you, Tiny

[T:] God bless you all. Oh, God bless you all
