Riding on a Bus

Brian Matthew: Before we hear another song, fellows, there is a few things I'd like to ask you. First of all, do you ever get tired of being Beatles?

Paul: We don't think so, really.

Brian: You don't ever think that?

Paul: Just occasionally, you get cheesed off with people writing rubbing about you, which you get often.

John: Yeah, I agree with that. I've had a divorce and half a dozen kids.

Brian: Now, what do you, eh, well, I mean, doesn't, isn't this a big sort of drag to go around explaining to your wife that you're not divorced and all that sort of things?

John: No, she knows I'm not divorced, 'cause I keep seeing her every day, you see.

Brian: Yes, a point, but what about the simpler things of life, like, eh--"

Paul: Like riding a bus?

Brian: Yeah, or going to just about any restaurant you--

Paul: Well, yeah, you miss those sort of things.

John: We go to certain ones.

George: And we go to ones where the people there are so snobby, they're the type who pretend they don't know us, so we have a good time, 'cause they pretend they don't know us.

Paul: Joe's Café!

Brian: Yeah, that figures.

Paul: Joe's Café! Social statement, that, you know.

George: It is.
