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 onto the sun
'Til we found the 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 (a life of ease)
Everyone of us has all we need (everyone of us has all we need)
Sky of blue and sea of green (sky of blue, sea of green)
In our yellow submarine (in our yellow submarine)
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
A 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
