"We Can Work It Out" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and recorded by The Beatles in 1965 during the sessions for their Rubber Soul album.

Motorcars, handlebars
Bicycles for two
Broken-hearted jubilee
Parachutes, army boots
Sleeping bags for two
Sentimental jamboree
[Chorus]
"Buy! Buy!" says the sign in the shop window
"Why? Why?" says the junk in the yard
[Bridge]
Da, da, ya, da, da, da
Da, da, da
Da, da, ya, da, da, da
Da, da, da
[Verse 2]
Candlesticks, building bricks
Something old and new
Memories for you and me
[Chorus]
"Buy! Buy!" says the sign in the shop window
"Why? Why?" says the junk in the yard
