You Never Give Me Your Money Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
and in the middle of negotiations
you break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
and in the middle of investigation
I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today (yes it did)

One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven

Bad edit. Lead guitar, centre, silent very suddenly appears at this point and goes out of time.

Talking and guitar playing. Specifically 3:52, what does John sing after "1-2-3-4-5-6-7 ...". It's not "All good children go to heaven". Could be "Bloody 'ell". [3:52, right]
About the Beatles' business problems. When their manager, Brian Epstein, died in 1967, they were burdened with handling their own finances.
The beginning of a medley of songs on Abbey Road, which goes another 15 minutes to "The End."
Contains fragments of 4 songs combined into one.
"Funny Paper" is how The Beatles felt they were paid. They got frustrated when their accountants would tell them how much they were worth "on paper," without actually telling them how much money they had.
