Lend me your comb
It's time to go home 
I got to go past
My hair is a mess 

Your mammie will scold
Your pappie will shout
Unless we come in 
The way we went out

Kissing you was fun honey 
But thanks for the date
But I must come to run honey 
But you know baby it's getting late

Just wait till I say
My darling
Lend me your comb
We got to go home
Kissing you was fun honey

But thanks for the date 
But I must come to run, honey
But sugar, it's getting late

Just wait till I 
Say, my darling
Lend me your comb
We got to go home

The Beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. Their best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, they later utilised several genres, ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. more »
