Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feeling two-foot small
Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away
How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say
Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

Recorded between sessions for "Strawberry Fields Forever", for the 1966 offering, the usual greetings and
thanks gave way to a 'Pantomime'-themed collection of original songs and dramatic skits. The songs include
"Everywhere It's Christmas", "Orowainya", and "Please Don't Bring Your Banjo Back". Paul McCartney plays
the piano. The sketches performed include "Podgy the Bear and Jasper" and "Felpin Mansions." Once again,
the US fan-club members did not get a flexi-disc. Instead, they received a postcard with the message on
one side and a short version of The Beatle Bulletin on the other, with enough room for a mailing label
and postage.
