Lyrics of
Yellow Submarine

Yellow Submarine was composed by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon-McCartney) and was released by The Beatles in 1966. The song was made for Ringo Starr to sing and has a child-friendly vibe. The idea for the song came from McCartney, who imagined a story about a yellow submarine that takes people to a place of safety. Yellow Submarine is known for its appealing simplicity to all ages and has become one of The Beatles most famous songs.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play


We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

As we live a life of ease (a life of ease)
Everyone of us (every one of us) has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue) and sea of green (sea of green)
In our yellow (in our yellow) submarine (submarine - aha! )

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
