Purple Aeroplane Lyrics by Spike Milligan

1966

(Cough) Yes. Yes, this looks a reasonable place for it. See how it...
[Lays down a piece of paper]
Put that, that part there that's, verse. And this must be the chorus
(Cough) Oooh. Oh this will sweep Nat Gonella off the charts
(Sung)
Ooooh-Ooooh, We all..
(Spoken)
What's this? We all, lie, li-ve, LIVE
(Sung)
We all, live in a...
(Spoken)
Y E double L, Yeel, Yello, Yeelo, YELLOW AH
(Sung)
We all live in a yellow...
(Spoken)
Sub, a-ma, SUBMARINE, ah yes I see it, I see it. I'll get it. Ohh
(Sung)
We all live in a Yellow Submarine
A Yellow Submarine
(Spoken)
Wait a minute, I think The Beatles did this. I could do it better, trouble is they outnumber me
There must be an answer from the middle age group. I'VE GOT IT!
If you can't eat them, join them
(Sung)
Ooooh, Ohhh, Ohhhh
YEAH! YEAH!
We don't live in a Yellow Submarine
A Yellow Submarine-iine, Yellow Submarine
We don't live in a Yellow Submarine
We live in a Purple Aeroplane
A plane, a plane
We live in a Plinal Purpu-lane
FAB! FAB! YEAH! YEAH!
I live in a Purple Aeroplane
A Purple Aeroplane
Not a Yellow Submarine
I-ha live in a Purple Aeroplane
Not in a Yellow Submarine
Not in a turquoise bus
Or a lemon flavoured tram
Or a mauve chimney, NO!
Only in that Purple Aeroplane
YEAH FAB! FAB!
I've got nothing against Yellow, red controlled Submarines
But preferably, I'd [?] have a [?] Purple Aeroplane
[Propeller engine in the background, gets higher in pitch as song continues]
A plane, aeroplane
[?] aeroplane
Ohh, [?] aeroplane
[?]
[Engine explosion followed by splashing water]
I'll have to live in that Yellow Submarine, move over chaps
A yellow submarine, yellow sub...
I'm going to live with these four chaps in their submarine
Because they seem to be loaded with dough
Ohhh
Ohhh
[Guitar strings snap]
Oh dear
