Song lyrics
Bottle of Claret for you if I had realised... 

Well, do it next time. 

I forgot about it, George, I'm sorry. 
Will you forgive me? 

Yes. 

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number... 

...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 litter slower but... 

It's all the same thing, in this case manufactured by someone who's always/umpteen ... 
Your father's giving it diddly-i-dee/district was leaving... 
Intended to die ... Ottoman 
...long gone through... 
I've got to say, irritably and... 
...floors, hard enough to put on ... per day's MD in our district 
There was not really enough light to get down 
And ultimately ... slumped down 
Suddenly... 

They may stop the funding... 
Place your bets 
The original 
Afraid she'll die ... 
Great colours for the season 

Number 9, number 9 

Who's to know? 
Who was to know? 

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 
Number 9, number 9 

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... 

People ride, people ride 
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride 

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 

Ride! Ride! 

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 

...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 

Rouge doctors have brought this specimen 

I have nobody's short-cuts, aha... 

9, number 9 

...with the situation 

They are standing still 

The plan, the telegram... 
Number 9, number... 

A man without terrors from beard to false 
As the headmaster reported to 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... 

Alright! 

It was on fire and his glasses were the same 
This thing knows if it was tinted 
But you know it isn't 
To me it is... 

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 
Number 9 

So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon 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 I said I'd marry, join the fucking navy and went to sea 

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

I'm not in the mood for whirling 

How? Dogs for dogging, hands for clapping 
Birds for birding and fish for fishing 
Them for themming and when for whimming 

...only to find the night-watchman unaware of his 
presence in the building 

Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9 
Number 9 

Industry allows financial imbalance 

Thrusting it between his shoulder blades 

The Watusi, the twist 

Eldorado 

Take this, brother, may it serve you well 

Maybe it's nothing 
What? What? Oh... 

Maybe, even then, impervious in London 

...could be difficult thing... 
It's quick like rush for peace is because it's so much 
Like being naked 

It's alright, it's alright 
It's alright, it's alright 

It's alright, it's alright 
It's alright, it's alright 
It's alright 

If, you became naked

I love this song, it's really original! It kinda freaks me out though, the first time I listened to it, I got the feeling that I was going mad...

It's not crap! They were just way ahead of their time when the wrote this song and it insults me when someone says that the songs that The Beatles wrote are crap! They were one of THE BEST bands to come out of any country, England or America, and they were English obviously. I'm still looking for an American artist that is going to do as well as The Beatles did.

The first time I heard this song was in AP History we were discussing 60's music and my first reaction was WTF? But after really listening to it (which its sounds alot better with a pair of headphones on by the way) I must it is brillant. I give The Beattles props for doing something that orginal like that.

I was so happy to look at this discussion and see tons of 5s. I'm sorry but this is one of my favorites on The White Album. It's just so.. weird. And to me weird and strange = sheer bliss.

this song is incredibly creative and completely genius. i can just taste the controversy that this song has inspired. the amount of notoriety that this song has given the beatles is awe-inspiring and really shows what marketing geniuses they were in addition to being musical geniuses.

I love this song I usually listen to thid song at night when im alone in my room with the lights out. Trust after 4 minutes into the song i start to get paranoid and scared, but after six minutes i usually can handle it to the end.
