Yellow Submarine

By John T. Marck

This was written as a simple children's song, intended for Ringo to sing. From a business standpoint, it turned out to be the most important song on Revolver, in that it inspired the cartoon feature film that solved the problem The Beatles had in providing their third film, that they contractually owed United Artists. It was recorded on May 26 and June 1, 1966.

In the town where I was born, lived a man who sailed to sea,

And he told us of his life, in the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun, till we found a sea of green,

And we lived beneath the waves, in our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard, many more of them live next door,

And the band begins to play We all live in a yellow submarine,

yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine

(Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead, full speed ahead it is, sergeant cut the cable, drop the cable, aye, sir, aye, captain, captain)

As we live a life of ease, every one of us has all we need, Sky of blue and sea of green, in our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine
