Yellow Submarine

Lennon/McCartney


Here is the accompaniment:

Yellow Submarine (suggested accompanying gestures in parenthesis)

In the town where I was born (roof over head, then rock baby)
Lived a man who sailed to sea. (pantomime pull on ropes)
And he told us of his life (hands out from mouth)
In the land of submarines. (Drive your submarine!)

So we sailed up to the sun (point rhythmically to sun)
’Til we found the sea of green. (make waves above head for 2 lines)
And we lived beneath the waves
In a yellow submarine. (Drive your submarine!)

We all live in a yellow submarine, (Drive your submarine!)
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board. (hands out to friends in audience, then point down)
Many more of them live next door. ( thumbs point back to right)
And the band begins to play....... (pretend to march, toes stay rooted on floor)

[Sing the band music:] "da-da-da-DA pa-dump- pa dump" 2x (pretend to play a horn still marching in place)

Oh, we all live in a yellow submarine, (Drive your submarine!)
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine,
A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease, (arms crossed in leisure)
Everyone of us has all we need: (swing out arms, palms down)
Sky of blue and sea of green (gesture upward, then make waves with fingers down lower)
In our yellow submarine. (Drive your submarine until the end!)

We all live in a yellow submarine, A yellow submarine, a yellow submarine! (3x)
