June 9th back in '64
I watched it all from my front room door
In the winter of our discontent
Four lads, solid heaven sent
Singing yeah, yeah, the girls were shrieking
Yeah, yeah, yeah, who would say today's the weekend
Ooh, ooh
Singing yeah, yeah, it was all so exciting
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were high, days and nights
And ooh, everybody sang
Ooh
We bought tickets to ride down the strawberry fields
On a magical bus where nothing was real
And we learned every note, every word, every song
And Stein and I sang along
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
So the whole world formed a band
And played a million one night stands
Down the road towards Penny Lane
Hey Jude was our refrain
And they played it all, the world was exploding
They played it all, barefoot and eroding
Ooh, shake your head, say, "Ooh"
And we knew in a flash they were second to none
From the moon and the stars we'd follow the sun
From Rome to Hague to a Norwegian night
A jukebox satellite
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
Then later that night with Mr. Moonlight
Outside the high school dance
Well, there was magic in the air
When I saw her standing there
Man, it was sure romance
And it was alright, hey, they played "Revolution"
Yeah, alright, meet the grandest solutions
Ooh, like Little Richard sang
Ooh
And they came and they went in the blink of an eye
Like the title they wrote, "Hello and Goodbye"
Those days may be lost but never those songs
When the whole world sang along
Beep beep
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
Hello, goodbye
