[Hook]
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, it's such a joy
Come on, it's such a joy
Come on, take it easy
Come on, take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
Everybody's got something to hide
Except for me and my monkey

[Verse 1]
The deeper you go, the higher you fly
The higher you fly, the deeper you go

[Hook]
So come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, it's such a joy
Come on, it's such a joy
Come on and make it easy
Come on and make it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
Everybody's got something to hide
Except for me and my monkey

Come on! (Take it—)

[Verse 2]
Your inside is out, and your outside is in
Your outside is in, and your inside is out

[Hook]
So come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on it's such a joy
Come on it's such a joy
Come on and make it easy
Come on, take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
Everybody's got something to hide
Except for me and my monkey

[Bridge]
Take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, make it easy
Take it easy, make it easy
Hey, take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, take it easy

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, come on, come on
Make it, make it
Make it, make it
Make it, make it, make it
Make it

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.
