Hey Bulldog

Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Sheep dog standing in the rain
Bull grog doing it again
Some kind of happiness is
measured out in miles
What make you think you're
something special when you smile

Childlike no on understand
Jack knife in your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is
measured out in years
You don't know what it's like
to listen to you fears

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely, you can talk to me

Big man walking in the park
Wigwam frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is
measured out in you
You think you know but you haven't got a clue

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely, you can talk to me

Hey Bulldog

What Goes On? Anomalies

Right channel, clicks of drum sticks. * NEW * Also snares on drum kit rattling in sympathy with the rest of the guitars etc.

Sharp edit in the guitar track, cutting in after "talk to me" and ending at 1:32

Lennon sings "Big Man", and in the left ear Ringo shouts "Yeah?"

2:06-3:04

J/P) "Hey Bulldog ..."
P) "Hey man"
J) "What's that, boy?"
P) "Ruff!"
J) "Whaddya say?"
P) "I say, ruff!"
J) "Do you know any more?"
P) "Wowowowwwaaaaa"
J) Screams loudly
P) "You got it, that's it, you hit it, that's it man, Woop!, that's it you got it"
J) Screams hysterically
P) "Don't look at me man, I already have [ten children/grandchildren]"
P) "[Clap man, clap / Quiet boy,quiet]"
