In the town where I was born
is a naval base next to sea
One of ships that you might know
has quite high visibility -

While the normal warships are
all painted in camouflage
Submarine that particular
has outré, so to say, visage -

"We all live in a yellow submarine
we want to paint her grey - we hate this colour scheme
We all live in a yellow submarine
her colour makes us sick - why cannot she be green?"

When her crew is all aboard
Colour makes them puke - it's abhorred
But happy is the enemy
She's a target they sure can see -

"We all live in a yellow submarine
we want to paint her grey - we hate this colour scheme
We all live in a yellow submarine
her colour makes us sick - why cannot she be green?"

So they go beneath the waves
in their yellow-painted sub, those braves
On heavy use is the latrine
in that yellow submarine...

"We all live in a yellow submarine
we want to paint her grey - we hate this colour scheme
We all live in a yellow submarine
her colour makes us sick - why cannot she be green?"

"We all live in a yellow submarine
we want to paint her grey - we hate this colour scheme
We all live in a yellow submarine
her colour makes us sick - why cannot she be green?"
