"Helter Skelter" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again - yeah, yeah, yeah.

A - do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
Well, you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer.
(Helter skelter, helter skelter)

Helter skelter, helter skelter, helter skelter - yeah.

Wuh!

A - will you, won't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
'cos you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer.
(Helter skelter, helter skelter)

Look out helter skelter, helter skelter, helter skelter - oh.

Look out 'cos here she comes (heh heh heh).

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again - yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, do you, don't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
'cos you may be a lover, but you ain't no dancer.
(Helter skelter, helter skelter)

Look out helter skelter, helter skelter, helter skelter.

Well, look out helter skelter.
She's coming down fast
Yes she is, yes she is.
Coming down fast (oh can you hear me speaking - ooo)...

... Ah (how was that?)
I got blisters on my fingers!
