Hello Goodbye - Beatles, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Hello Goodbye -(Beatles, The, 1967). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Puka's Bar & Grill, Kahala, HI. 2023-04-21. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"

"Hello Goodbye," written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, was the Beatles' 15th no. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1967 (Whitburn, 2013) and hitting the no. 1 position in multiple countries (Wikipedia, 2023). Actually written by Paul McCartney, John Lennon has been quoted as saying that it is "three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions;” he hated the song (T. Breihan, stereogum, 25 Oct 2018). According to McCartney "His friend Alistair Taylor, who was visiting McCartney, asked Paul one day how he wrote his many songs, and how he came up with his ideas. Paul took him into his dining room. . . As an experiment, Paul asked Taylor to shout out the opposite of whatever he sang, such as black and white, yes and no, hello and goodbye, etc. From this, the song was born" (songfacts, 2023).

Lyrics:

You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go go go, oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

I say high, you say low
You say why and I say I don't know, oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
(Hello goodbye hello goodbye) Hello hello
(Hello goodbye) I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
(Hello goodbye hello goodbye) Hello hello
(Hello goodbye) I don't know why you say goodbye
(Hello goodbye) I say hello/goodbye

Why why why why why why do you say goodbye goodbye, oh no?

You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

You say yes (I say yes) I say no (But I may mean no)
You say stop (I can stay) and I say go go go (Till it's time to go), oh
Oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello hello
