[Intro]
She was a working girl North of England way
Now she's hit the big time in the U.S.A.​
And if she could only hear me, this is what I'd say

[Verse 1]
Honey Pie, you are making me crazy
I'm in love, but I'm lazy
So won't you please come home

[Verse 2]
Oh, honey pie, my position is tragic
Come and show me the magic
Of your Hollywood song

[Bridge 1]
You became a legend of the silver screen
And now the thought of meeting you
Makes me weak in the knee

[Verse 3]
Oh, Honey Pie, you are driving me frantic
Sail across the Atlantic
To be where you belong
Honey pie, come back to me

[Instrumental Verse: Solo guitar John Lennon]
Ooh, yeah
I like it like that, oh ah

[Instrumental Verse: Ad lib Vocal]
I like this kind of hot kind of music
Hot kind of music
Play it to me, play it to me, Hollywood blues

[Bridge 2]
Will the wind that blew her boat across the sea
Kindly send her sailing back to me?
Tee, tee, tee

[Verse 1]
Now Honey Pie you are making me crazy
I'm in love but I'm lazy
So won't you please come home
Come, come back to me, Honey Pie

[Outro]
Ooh, oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Honey Pie, Honey Pie

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
