[Originally by The Beatles]
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph.
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights have changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged my comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on
[Original dos The Beatles]
Eu li as notícias hoje, oh, garoto,
Sobre um homem de sorte que ganhou na Loteria
E apesar das notícias serem bem tristes
Bem, eu tive apenas que rir...
Eu vi a fotografia...
Ele estourou sua cabeça em um carro
Ele não percebeu que o sinal tinha fechado
Uma multidão de pessoas ficaram e olharam
Eles tinham visto seu rosto antes
Ninguém estava realmente certo se ele era do Senado.
Eu vi um filme hoje, oh, garoto
O exército inglês acabara de vencer a guerra
Uma multidão de pessoas foram embora
Mas apenas tive que olhar
Tendo lido o livro,
Eu adoraria te excitar...
Acordei, saí da cama
Penteei o meu cabelo
Desci as escadas e tomei um café
e observando, eu notei que estava atrasado
Peguei meu casaco e coloquei meu chapéu
Peguei o ônibus rapidamente
Subi as escadas e fumei um cigarro?
Alguém falou e eu entrei em um sonho
Eu ouvi as notícias hoje, oh, garoto,
Quatro mil buracos em Blackburn, Lancashire
E apesar dos buracos serem bem pequenos
Eles tiveram que contá-los um a um
Agora eles sabem quantos buracos são necessários para
encher o Albert Hall
Eu adoraria te excitar.
