Yellow Submarine
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
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, Sgt.
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 		Availability:

What Goes On? Anomalies

1:04
"And the band begins to play" ... They certainly do, but one of the trumpeters decides to put in a little trill ahead of cue!
1:06-1:10
The acoustic guitar loses it, and hits a series of wrong chords, masked by the brass coming in.
1:51
The backing vocals come in a line and a half late in verse 3
* NEW * See Real Love single for the complete "answering" vocal.

Bruce Benham says:
The answer line "a life of ease" is only found on the Mono Revolver mix. The single uses this mix also.
The Yellow Submarine mono LP mix is the same as the Revolver Stereo mix (essentially) in that the line is missing.

2:00 * NEW *
Ringo's voice cracks here, leading people to hear either a totally off key note, or "slubmarine".
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
