COMING UP
By Paul McCartney

You want a love to last forever,
One that will never fade away.
I want to help you with your problem,
Stick around, I say.

Coming up, ooh,
Coming up, yeah, yeah,
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up, I say.

Oo.

You want a friend you can rely on,
One who will never fade away.
And if you're searching for an answer,
Stick around, I say.

You want some peace and understanding,
So ev'rybody can be free.
I know that we can get together,
We can make it, stick with me.

It's coming up, ooh
Coming up, see?
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up for you and me.

Coming up...

Feel it in my bones, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh.

You want a better kind of future,
One that ev'ryone can share.
You're not alone, we all could use it,
Stick around, we're nearly there.

It's coming up, ooh,
Coming up, ev'rywhere,
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up for us all to share,
Coming up, yeah,
Coming up,
Well, coming up like a flower.
Coming up.


TEMPORARY SECRETARY
By Paul McCartney

Mister Marks, can you find for me
Someone strong and sweet, fitting on my knee?
She can keep her job if she gets it wrong,
Ah, but Mister Marks, I won't need her long.

All I need is help for a little while,
We can take dictation and learn to smile.
And a temporary secretary's what I need for to do the job.

I need a
Temporary secretary, temporary secretaire,
Temporary secretary, temporary secretary.

Mister Marks, could you send her quick,
'Cause my regular has been getting sick.

Mister Marks, I can pay her well
If she comes along and can stay a spell.
I will promise now that I'll treat her right,
And will rarely keep her 'til late at night.

She can be a belly dancer, I don't need a need romancer,
She can be a diplomat, but I don't need a girl like that,
She can be a neurosurgeon if she's doin' nothing urgent,
What I need's a temporary, temporary secretary.

Now, mister Marks, when I send her back,
Will you please make sure she stays on the right track?

"Well I know how hard it is for young girls these days
In the face of ev'rything to stay on the right track".

Temporary, hoo, secretary, ooh,
I need a temporary secretaire, ooh,
Temporary, hoo, secretary, ooh,
Temporary secretaire, ooh
I need a temporary, ooh, secretary, ooh,
Temporary secretary, ooh,
Oh, temporary, ooh, secretary.

ON THE WAY
By Paul McCartney

One, two, one, two, three and a four now.
Well, you know I'll always love you,
But it would have been a lie.
If I said that I could please you,
Ev'ry moment that I try.

Wouldn't want to see you crying,
So I hope you don't mind the things I say on the way.

Well, we've been trav'ling for a long time,
And we finally finished here.
Though I said some things to hurt you,
But it was only out of fear.

Well, you know I'll always love you,
Ev'rything will be alright.
If I know you don't mind the things I say on the way.

Well, you know I'll always love you,
Ev'rything will be okay.
If I know you don't mind the things I say on the way.


WATERFALLS
By Paul McCartney

Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please, keep to the lake.
People who jump waterfalls,
Sometimes can make mistakes.

And I need love,
Yeah, I need love,
Like a second needs an hour,
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah, I need love,
Ev'ry minute of the day,
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.

And I need love,
Yeah, I need love,
Like a castle needs a tower,
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah, I need love
Ev'ry minute of the day,
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away

Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown.
Some big friendly polar bear,
Might want to take you home.

Don't run after motor cars,
Please, stay on the side.
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride.

Don't go jumping waterfalls,
Please, keep to the lake.


NOBODY KNOWS
By Paul McCartney

Ooh ooh,
They say nobody knows, nobody knows.

Which one of you can tell me
What is I'm looking at?
Anyone who can has got to be a crazy cat.
'Cause I believe that nobody knows, no, nobody knows.
Yeah, nobody knows,
Lord, I cannot tell you,
Well, that's the way I like it, yeah now, nobody knows.

Ooh-uh, ooh-uh,
Nobody knows, ooh-uh,
Oh, nobody knows, uh-uh,
Well, Lord, you know that nobody knows.

Samson and Delilah would have made a crazy pair,
If that silly woman hadn't shaven off his hair.
I believe that nobody knows,
Well, nobody knows, no, no,
But that's the way I like it,
Oh now, nobody knows, nobody knows, oh no.

Nobody knows.

Ooh-uh, nobody,
Ah, nobody, nobody knows,
But that's the way I like it,
That's the way I like it, nobody knows, so nobody knows.

I may go hungry, maybe next week,
Well, if I do, babe, I'll still find something to eat.
And you know, nobody knows,
No, nobody knows,
Well, that's the way I like it, baby, nobody knows.

And that includes you, honey,
Nobody knows,
I'll pay your rent,
I'll do you right,
Nobody knows, most every night,
But still there's nobody knows, uh,
No, no, nobody knows,
And that's the way I like to keep it
Just so nobody knows.


SUMMER'S DAY SONG
By Paul McCartney

Someone's sleeping through a bad dream,
Tomorrow it will be over,
For the world will soon be waking to a summer's day.


BOGEY MUSIC
By Paul McCartney

Ev'rybody bogey, a-dig that bogey beat,
Man, that bogey rhythm smells so clean and sweet.
Ev'rybody bogey, bogey on to the street,
Oh, without bogey music my life is incomplete,
Without bogey music my life is incomplete.

Everybody bogey, a-dig that bogey beat,
Hey, hey,
Ho, ho,
Okay,
Oh, oh.

If you little bogeys want to sing along,
You've got to clean your bogey act up
And learn the bogey song.
Without bogey music my life is incomplete,
Without bogey music life is incomplete,
Without bogey music life is incomplete.

Bogey music, bogey music,
Bogey music, bogey music.

Alright, here we are now tonight in bogey land.

Well, when the younger bogeys here that bogey sound,
Ev'ry little bogey a-got to bogey down.
Bogey, man, bogey,
Bogey, man, bogey.
Bogey, man, bogey on down.

Bogey music, bogey music,
Bogey music, bogey music,
Bogey music, bogey music,
Oh, bogey music,
Bogey, man, bogey on down.
Bogey music, oh.

All you little bogeys, I want you to sing along,
Clean your bogey act up and learn the bogey song.
Without bogey music life is incomplete,
You know, it... suckers.

Oooh, bogey music,
Oooh, bogey music,
Bogey music,
Bogey music,
Bogey music.

Note:
Bogey Music was inspired by Raymond Briggs' book "Fungus the Bogeyman" published by Hamish Hamilton, London in 1977. Bogey men live deep beneath the earth. Their lifestyle is almost opposite to that of the people on the surface, who they call "dry cleaners". Bogey men hate music and prefer wet, slimy clothes to warm and clean ones. But the younger generation rebel and develop a taste for rock and roll and cleanliness. Bogey Music is the first record made by "dry cleaners" for the expanding Bogey market.


DARKROOM
By Paul McCartney

Got a place we can go,
Lights are low,
Let me show you to my darkroom.
Come-a, come along with me to my darkroom,
Come-a, come along with me to my darkroom.

Got a place we can go,

Lighting low,
Let me show you to my darkroom.

Come-a, come along with me to my darkroom,
Got a place.
Come-a, come along with me to my darkroom.
We can go.
Got a place we can go,
Lighting low,
Let me show you to my darkroom.

Ha-ha-ha-ha, ho-ho-ho-ho,
Come-a, come along with me to my darkroom.


ONE OF THESE DAYS
By Paul McCartney

One of these days when my feet are on the ground,
I'm gonna look around and see.
See what's right, see what's there,
And breathe fresh air, ever after.

One of these days when a job just takes too long,
I'm gonna sing my song and see.
See what's right, see what's there,
And breathe fresh air, ever after.

It's there, it's round,
It's to be found,
By you, by me,
It's all we ever wanted to be.

One of these days when we both are at our ease,
When you've got time to please yourself.
See what's right and see what's there,
And breathe fresh air, ever after.

Ever after,
Breathe fresh air, ever after.


CHECK MY MACHINE
By Paul McCartney

Hi, George, morning, Terry.
Hi, George, morning, Terry.

No, no...

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But names will never hurt me.

Check my machine, check my machine,
Check my machine, come on, check my machine.

My baby, baby,
My little baby, won't you come?
I bought it of you a long time ago.

I don't know what's wrong, so wrong with me.

I want you to check my machine,
Check it, my machine,
Check it, my machine,
Check my machine.
Oh, baby, won't you come?
Though I bought it of you a long time ago,
And then since we're here, won't you guarantee?
Hey, baby, I try to bring you 'round to me, call me.

Come on and check my machine.

Check, check my machine, check it...
Check it out for me.


SECRET FRIEND
By Paul McCartney

Feel like you've never felt before.

Here we are, where are we?
Cast adrift on some uncharted sea.
I know we'll find our way,
I know we'll reach the end,
If you will say you'll be my secret friend.

Night draws in, once again,
As she turns her velvet collar up,
A perfect day will end.
If you will say you'll be my secret friend.

Feel like you've never felt before, once more.

Feel like you've never felt before,
Come on, baby,
Just make sure you're gonna feel that way again.
Don't you know you do it?
Yeah, hey, yeah,
Oh-oh-oh.

Do it any way.

I need ya, I need ya...

Night draws in, one more time,
As she turns her velvet collar up,
A perfect day will end.
If you will say you'll be my secret friend, yeh, yeh.
