Yellow Submarine
Beatles Lyrics

In the town where I was born
The song starts off by talking about a town where the singer was born.

Lived a man who sailed to sea
A man who used to sail the sea once lived in the town.

And he told us of his life
The man used to tell stories about his life at sea to those around him.

In the land of submarines
The stories the man told were about a place called the 'land of submarines'.

So we sailed up to the sun
The artist and others sailed away in search of this 'land of submarines'.

Till we found a sea of green
They eventually found this place, which was a sea filled with all sorts of greenery.

And we lived beneath the waves
Rather than living on land, they lived below the waves in the sea of green.

In our yellow submarine
The vehicle they used to get around in this environment was a yellow submarine.

We all live in a yellow submarine
This phrase is repeated often, representing the sense of community they experienced while living in the submarine.

And our friends are all aboard
All of their friends were with them in the yellow submarine.

Many more of them live next door
In fact, many more of their friends lived close by to them.

And the band begins to play
They all started playing music together while inside the yellow submarine.

As we live a life of ease
Their life inside the yellow submarine was easy and carefree.

Every one of us has all we need
They had everything they needed to survive their new lifestyle.

Sky of blue and sea of green
The sky outside was blue and the sea that surrounded them was green.

In our yellow submarine
Once again, the song ends on this phrase, showcasing the importance of community and togetherness within the yellow submarine.
