Welcome to the Beatles Bible song list. On this page you'll find links to articles on all the songs recorded by The Beatles during their career, from Love Me Do to Let It Be.
We've also written about the Anthology tracks, live radio-only recordings from Live At The BBC, and a few extras – such as Child Of Nature and Carnival Of Light – which deserved to be included too.

You missed two songs, Bad to Me and One and One is Two please try and add those
I have never heard of those two songs.
you can look bad to me up on youtube, there is actually a record of the beatles
It was a hit for Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas about 1964
True. Also forgot SUZY PARLOUR aka SUZY PARKER.
” One and One and One is Three” is a line in “Come Together”
I suppose there is a luck of one good song which was issued as a demo. The song is called “goodbye” and its granted by lennon/mccartney, but was of course McCartney lyrics from Abbey Road Sessions.
I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but I presume you’re referring to the Mary Hopkin song that Paul McCartney wrote? It was never a Beatles song.
Yeah, I think I was somehow wrong. This song was for Mary. However I’m little bit confused hearing all Abbey Road Sessions when there was a lot of songs sung, but they were actually not a Beatles songs like Lennons Give peace a chance, Instant Karma, McCartneys Come and get it (?) etc.
Joe are the ones I sugested real Beatles songs
They’re Lennon-McCartney songs, but I have a pretty full to-do list right now and I don’t know if/when I’ll add songs The Beatles never recorded or released. It’s not something I’m too bothered about tbh.
That’s okay with me.
Paul McCartney’s version can be found on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyet4WxAmpM
Hi. In order to collaborate: The following songs were composed by Lennon and McCartney, or at least accredited to both. If you include Etcetera, composed by Paul, or Carnival of light, which is not known, why not include the following? Greetings Carlos

From a Window Written by Lennon – McCartney
Nobody I Know Written by Lennon – McCartney
I’ll Keep You Satisfied Written by Lennon – McCartney
Tip of My Tongue Written by Lennon – McCartney

It’s for You Written by Lennon – McCartney
A World Without Love Written by Lennon – McCartney
Bad to Me Written by Lennon – McCartney
I Don’t Want to See You Again Written by Lennon – McCartney
Goodbye acredited Lennon – McCartney
Not to forget “If You’ve Got Trouble” by Lennon/McCartney
I wish I would see all unreleased Beatles songs.
I agree, there are many more songs that the Beatles jammed to or recorded but not released. Also there is a site that lists more than 250 ALBUMS with their discography. Of course, there are many duplicates but there are also literally hundreds of songs that are not on this list. BTW, there are some gems!
Yes, Commonwealth should totally be on here!
Are their any Beatles recordings where only on of the Beatles played on that recording?
If so how may and what are the titles?
Thanks,
Surely “Yesterday”.
Also “Within You Without You”, “Julia”.
Blackbird, Good Night, Mother Nature’s Son, Wild Honey Pie, Martha My Dear, Her Majesty.
I do believe “Martha My Dear” was done solo by McCartney.
across the universe
Why don’t we do it in the road
Ringo played the drums
The song “where have you been all my life”, which they played back in their earlier days…
how about “i dont know” (oh johnny, johnny)
“Oh” Johnnny? With three ‘N’s, Johnnny? I have found that amusing. TimNm
soldier boy?
Please add “I’m in love”
I’m In Love is amazing! Seriously sounds better than a lot of the songs they were recording in 63-64 and I love those songs. Would have been an awesome inclusion on A Hard Day’s Night or With The Beatles.
There are dozens more… just look on You Tube… the list goes on and on.
Most of them are just one-lines, or demo’s…
Rule 10. Beware of false possessives, which often occur with nouns ending in s. Don’t add apostrophes to noun-derived adjectives ending in s. Close analysis is the best guide.
Incorrect: We enjoyed the New Orleans’ cuisine.
In the preceding sentence, the word the makes no sense unless New Orleans is being used as an adjective to describe cuisine. In English, nouns frequently become adjectives. Adjectives rarely if ever take apostrophes.
Incorrect: I like that Beatles’ song.
Correct: I like that Beatles song.
Again, Beatles is an adjective, modifying song.
Incorrect: He’s a United States’ citizen.
Correct: He’s a United States citizen.
Thanks for your concern, but there is nothing wrong with the grammar in this page’s title. “The Beatles’ songs” is not a false possessive.
LOL! Beautiful response and, of course, absolutely correct.
Great page. Can you answer me this. Did the beatles ever record with elvis? My uncle says he had a record of beatles and elvis together. I cant find anything out about it on google. And one yahoo answers said he believes it was johnie b goode
Something happened with the release of Revolver. Prior to that album, almost all of the Beatle songs were Love songs and were of a personal nature. They were sung to and for the listener. Few exceptions can be found…”Michelle” and “Anna” being some of them. Most of their songs were personal love songs. Even when John was self-lothing in songs such as “I’m a loser” and “Run for your life” ( not love songs by any stretch) the message was personal. Personal love songs between the Beatles and the listener was a quality the endeared them to the public. It was indeed their bread and butter from the early days until 1966. The only personal love songs actually aimed at the listener that I can find after “Rubber Soul” are “I will” and (with a little acceptable stretch) “Long, long, long” on the White Album. “Something” is a love song about a girl…but not a personal song aimed at the listener. “I want you (She’s so Heavy” is kind of personal, but not much of a love song. “Long and winding road” could be construed as a love song, but “Love” is not mentioned – only sentimental affection. “Don’t let me down” is more begging and pleading than an outpouring of affection towards the listener (although it is personal). Revolver contains “Got to get you into my life”, but this “Love” song is an ode to POT…Paul’s newfound pal. Examine all the albums after “Rubber Soul” and try to find a personal love song. Once they “Matured” in their song writing… they never returned to love songs. Starting with “Revolver” their songs became darker and worldly. It signaled a loss of innocence. After the breakup, a John recorded a couple of personal love songs, although most were either aimed at Yoko or general…and Paul…well… more than a few…often silly ones. Examine the Beatle album “Love Songs” and check the release dates of the songs…most of the personal – singer to listener – love songs are pre-Revolver.
John had Yoko, Paul had Linda, George had Patti and Ringo had his wife. They all were in love and getting stoned. Dylan and pot opened them to a whole new way of writing.
Yoko really didn’t show up until 68.
Bob Dylan…….that’s what happened…….
Cannabis, LSD.
One of life’s greatest pleasures for me is to listen to the whole lot in chronological order and just glory in the fab evolution of their style, creativity and craftsmanship. Listening to everything, even the ‘difficult’ stuff or the early bad quality cassette recordings brings new perpectives. My favourite period jumps around a lot and sometimes Revolver seems to be a steady evolution, other times a watershed. BTW I use Ian Macdonald’s canonical list for all non album songs but listen to the (uk release) albums in track order rather than chronological. LIB goes in twice ha ha because I like both albums. I just keep it on loop in the car, never get tired of it, always refreshes my spirit. My list is currently 261 songs, just under 12 hours of bliss. Other lists are available! When Free as a Bird and Real Love play, the emotional hit is massive, you can feel the Weight of all the genius those guys had to Carry.
How about a mono/stereo releases big theme , and various versions? like , on the german LP “With the beatles”, “all my loving” is preceded with a 5 ticking ( Ringo on the charlie, or cymbals), and “Money” doesn’t have any percussions during the intro….you know, every little thing!
… and add I Don’t Want To See You Again (recorded by Peter & Gordon 1964)
And Nobody I Know
Where on this site or elsewhere can I find a list of who actually or predominantly wrote the lyrics for each “Lennon/McCartney” song? I’ve always figured that whoever took the main vocal was doing “their” song. But the harmonies are so tight and the images so powerful that it’s hard to tell, or even care, in the moment of listening.
I find the transition of hit songs from Lennon w/McCartney to McCartney w/Lennon to an almost entirety of McCartney following the Magical Mystery Tour interesting. Or is this just me?
Thank you for organizing this site. It can only be described as awesome! By the way, whatever happened to Ballad of John & Yoko? And to Hippy Hippy Shake in the list of songs?
They can be found under T (because the titles begin with ‘The’).
After 40 years, were still talking about these great songs. Can’t wait to hear the new reissues/re-releases in 5.1 Surround starting with the new Beatles 1 LP. This will lead to everything being reissued again.
On the “HEY HEY HEY HEY” part of Kansas City I’m still not satisfied with the lyrics cited here.
I’m in an oldies group and we’re trying to get it right. In the Shindig spot I’m seeing John and George answer “Now Child” on the 3rd line as a response. The 4th line response I’m lost. I’m not seeing them sing “pal” as it states. Little Richard says “child” . Any body got any ideas ?
This is an excellent site. You’ve put a lot of work into it. I’m enjoying every visit. Many thanks for it all!
This site is like a paradise for The Beatles fans. Well, for me anyway. I’ve just took a quick run through the songs’ names, and it kind of surprised me to find ‘Now And Then’. As far as I know, this song exist only as a Lennon demo from late 70’s. The three remaining Beatles never did a proper version for Anthology 3, ‘cos George (Harrison) didn’t wanted to record another Lennon solo. Although Paul liked it a lot, and mentioned it a few times that he wishes to finish it himself, and release it. So, why is this song in The Beatles’ songs list? (By the way, I feel with the radical, almost brutal change of George Martin with Jeff Lynne, ‘Free As A Bird’ and especially ‘Real Love’ were damaged to such an extence, that they don’t sound like The Beatles, but more like ELO, which is comparison in no good way).
Agree completely re: ELO, as well as paradise for Beatles fans.
Jeff Lynne did a great job with what he was given, and Real Love is a true Beatles gem.
Joe, thank you for the monsterous job you are doing! It needs more than aknowledgement and good will for it. And I respect you for that.
Joe, I love this thread. I hope when you have more time, you will ad more pictures of the Parlophone or Apple singles instead of using the black Past masters pics on some of these songs. I have most of these pics if you are interested.
Keep up the great work on this most awesome site!!!!
Ok when I got the 62-66, and 67-70 there was a Beatles discography enclosed that mentions Thingamabob as a b side of I believe Let it Be. Where can I find this song?
I think ” Goodbye” should be included in the list. If “Come and get it” is included , being “Goodbye ” A Lennon / McCartney composition , the same would have to happen .
You also forgot “The world is waiting for the sunrise”
Does anyone else think the other 3 gave George ‘the day off’ (excluded him from a track) too many times? Especially from Sgt. Pepper on?
Or George chose to remove himself? Remember: the biggest break he got was getting into The Beatles. The second biggest break was getting out of them.
I think George was very conflicted by SPLHCB. He also remarked after Candlestick Park: that’s it; I’m not a Beatle anymore.
Did The Beatles ever actually record /play Yellow Lemon Tree (aka Blue blue sky).? Seems to be an on going question!
I remember listening from someone that there was a beatles’ song, writen by john, when he learned about a teacher in England who was teaching to the children the meaning of their songs. And because he thought it was funny he decided to write a song with a very confusing meaning. Is that story true? If yes wich is that song?
Yes it’s true. The song is “I Am The Walrus”
What about The Palace Of. The King Of The Birds? And for that matter Thinking Of Linking etc
Thank you so much for this list. A friend ask me how many Beatles songs have womans names in them. This list made it super easy to figure out. Also having the composer helped.
