[Verse 1]
Sexy Sadie what have you done?
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done?

[Verse 2]
Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules

[Verse 3]
One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover (Sadie)
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all

[Verse 4]
Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie oooh how did you know?

[Verse 5]
Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you’ll get yours yet

[Verse 6]
We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the greatest of them all

[Outro]
Sexy Sadie she's the greatest of them all
Ooh
Oh, Sadie
Ooh
Oh, Sadie
Oh, Sadie
Ohh

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.
