Helter Skelter - The Beatles

Album: The Beatles (The White Album)

genre: Hard Rock Heavy Metal

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 hey

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

Now helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter yeah
Ooh!

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
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer

Look out helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter ooh

Look out, cos here she comes

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 the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer

Look out helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter

Look out helter skelter
She’s coming down fast
Yes she is
Yes she is coming down fast

(My head is spinning, ooh…

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, alright!

I got blisters on my fingers!)
