Album Notes

For Anthology 3, there are no new songs to look forward to as there was on Volumes 1 and 2. Here, Anthology Volume 3 covers the last three years of the Beatles career as a group (1968-1970). Here you will find outtakes from the White Album, Abbey Road, and especially Let it Be, where most of the output during the Let it Be sessions consisted mostly of jam sessions involving oldies such as Shake Rattle and Roll, Rip it Up, and others. There were also demos of songs from this period of Beatledom that were destined to be on solo Beatles albums such as George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and Paul McCartney's Teddy Boy. The demo for Badfinger's song Come and Get It with Paul composing and playing on the demo tape is shown here as well.

This final version of the Anthology series caps the end of what Beatles publicist Derek Taylor called "the twentieth century's greatest romance". A splendid time was indeed had by all.

Not Guilty (George Harrison)

Not guilty
For getting in your way, while you try to steal the day
Not guilty
I'm not nodding for the rest, I'm not trying to steal you vest
I end up trying to be smart I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry for your aging head, but like you heard me said
Not guilty

Though you signing me a writ, while I'm trying to do my bit
I don't expect to take your hoard I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you're underfed, but like you heard me said
Not guilty

Not guilty
For looking like a freak, making friends with every Sikh
Not guilty
For leading you astray, on the road to Masalay
I won't upset the apple cart I only want what I can get
I'm really sorry that you've been mislead, but like you heard me said
Not guilty

What's the New Mary Jane? (Lennon, McCartney)

She looks as an African Queen
She eating twelve chapattis and cream
She tastes as Mongolian lamb
She coming from out of Bahran
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

She like to be married with Yetti
He groving such cooky spagetti
She jumping as Mexican bean
To make that her body morphine
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

She catch Patagonian pancake
With that one and gin party makes
She having always good contact
She making with Apple and contract
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
All together now
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame what a shame
Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame what a shame
Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame
Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame

She looks as an African Queen

She tastes as Mongolian lamb

What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
All together now
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame what a shame

Step Inside Love / Los Paranoias

Step Inside Love (Lennon, McCartney)

Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay

You look tired, love
Let me turn down the light
Come in out of the cold
Rest your head on my shoulder
And kiss me tonight
We are together
Now and forever, come my way

Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay

[Joe Prairies and the Prairie Wallflowers.

Teddy Boy (Paul McCartney)

This is the story
About a boy named Ted
If his mother said (Said)
"Ted, be good (Be good, Ted)," he would (Alright)

She told him tales
About a soldier dad
But it made her sad
Then she cried, oh my

Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
'Cause in his head he said
"Mummy don't worry
Your mblmblmbl's here
Taking good care of you
Mama don't worry
Your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's gonna see you through"

And she said
"Teddy don't worry
Your mummy's here
Taking good care of you"
She said, "Teddy don't worry
Your mummy's here
Teddy's gonna see you through"

He said, "Ta da da..."

Then came the day
She found herself a man
Teddy turned and ran
Oh far away, oh yeah

He couldn't stand
Just to be around
So he left the town far away, yeah yeah

Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he know he could
'Cause in his head he said
"Mummy don't worry
Now Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mummy don't worry
Your Teddy boy's here
Teddy's gonna see you through"

And she said
"Teddy don't worry
Now mummy's here
Taking good care of you
Teddy don't worry
Your mummy's here
Mummy's gonna see you through"

And he said
"Mummy mummy don't worry
Your Teddy boy's here
Taking good care of you
Mummy don't worry
Now Teddy boy's here
Teddy's gonna see you through"

Take your partners
And dosi-do
Hold them tight
And don't let go
When got it. Jump up

Take your partners
And dosi-do
When you got it
Then let it go
Hold them tight then

Now Ted used to tell her
He'd be twice as good
And he knew he could
'Cause in his head, he said...

Medley: Rip It up / Shake, Rattle and Roll / Blue Suede Shoes

Rip It up (Robert Blackwell, John Marascalco)

Go on Out to the groovy sky
I don't care if I spent my dough
Tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul

Gonna rock it up
Gonna shake it up
Gonna load it up
Whoah, at the ball tonight

 

Shake, Rattle and Roll (Charles Calhoun)

Rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you never do nothing
To save your doggone soul

Well get out of that kitchen
And shake those pots and pans
I said get out of that kitchen
And shake those pots and pans
I said to my soul
You're the devil in a frying pan

Well I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
Well you never do nothing
To save your doggone soul

 

Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins)

You can knock me down
Step on my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you want to do
But oh oh honey
Lay off them shoes

Now don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes

Ah go!

You can burn my house
Steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything that you want to do
But ah ah honey
Lay off them shoes

And don't you step on my blue suede shoes, please
Well you can do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes

Ah go, hit it, Carl!

Well blue blue
Blue suede shoes
Yeah blue blue
Blue suede shoes
Babe blue blue
Blue suede shoes
Yeah brown brown
Brown suede boots
Well do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes

To the songs

All Things Must Pass (George Harrison)

Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up
And has left you with no warning
But it's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this my love is up
And must be leaving
It has not always been this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays at nighttime
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good
At arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

To the songs

Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues (Ruth Roberts, Bill Katz, Stanley Clayton)

 

She wrote me only one sad night
Told me she's no longer mine
Sue sue mailman, that will do for sometime

Mailman, bring me no more blues
Mailman, bring me no more blues
One more heartache is all I can use

Mailman, bring me no more blues
Mailman, bring me no more blues...

To the songs

Come and Get It (Paul McCartney)

If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
Make your mind up fast

If you want it anytime I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast

If you want it, here it is
Come and get it
Make your mind up fast

If you want it anytime I can give it
But you'd better hurry 'cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

Sonny, if you want it, here it is
Come and get it
But you'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast

Woo, fool that is money

Sorry, if you want it, here it is
Come and get it
But you'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast
