Good King Wenslers last looked out, on the feast of Steven.
As the slow ray round about, deep and crisp and crispy.
Brightly showed the boot last night, on the nasty cruel
Henly Hall and David Lloyd, Betty Grable, too.

(J): Hello! This is John speaking with his voice. We're
     all very happy to be able to talk to you like this
     on this little bit of plastic. This record reaches
     you at the end of a really gear year for us, and it's
     all due to you. When we made our first record on
     Parlophone toward the end of 1962, we hoped everyone
     would like what we'd already been our type of music for
     several years already. But we had no idea of all the
     gear things in store for us. It all happend really
     when "Please Please Me" became a No. 1 hit and after
     that well ... "Can th' blimeys, he 'tha know."
     Our biggest thrill of the year, well, I suppose it must
     have been top of the bill at the London Palladium, and
     then only a couple of days later, being invited to
     take part in the royal variety show.
     This time last year we were all dead chopped because
     "Love Me Do" got into the top twenty and we can't
     believe Rita that so many things have happened in between
     already. Just before I pass you over to Paul, I'd like
     to say thank you to all the Beatles people who have
     written to me during the year and everyone who sent me
     gifts and cards on my birthday, which I'm trying to
     forget, in October. I'd love to reply personally to
     everyone, but I just haven't enough pens. In the meantime.
     (Singing)

(P): This is Paul here. Everything that John said goes for
     me, too, especially the bit about birthday cards and
     the parcels, 'cause all our home and offices got stacks
     of mail last June - Ow! - When it was my birthday.
     Anyway, we're all dead pleased by the way you've treated
     us in 1963. And we'll try to do everything we can to
     please you with the type of songs we write and record
     next year. Oh, yeah! Somebody asked us if we still like
     jelly beans(babies). Well, we used to like 'em, in fact, we
     loved 'em. And we said so in one of the papers, you see.
     Ever since then, been gettin' 'em in boxes, packets and
     crates. Anyway, we've gone right off jelly beans(babies), you
     see. But, we still like peppermint creams, chocolate
     drops and dolly mixes, and all that sort of thing. Don't
     we? (Different voice : Yes, yes, oh, yes.)
     Well, lots of people asked us what we enjoy best, you
     see. Concerts and television, or recording. We like doing
     stage shows, 'cause it's, you know, it's great to hear
     an audience enjoying themselves. But the thing we like
     best, I think so anyway, is going into the recording
     studio - lovely, love that -

(J): Yeah, we enjoy that very kindly.

(P): ..... to make new records, which is what we been doin'
     all day before we started in this special message. Well,
     what we like to hear most is one of our songs, you know,
     taking sharp in a recording studio. Ah ... one of the
     ones what John and I have written. And then listening
     to the tapes afterwards to hear how it will worked out,
     you see. Well, I'm running over my time and people are
     feeling me to stop ... by Ringo ...=20

(All) :Stop! Stop! Stop shouting those animals!

(P):So, I'll finish
     now with a wishing everyone happy Krimble and merry new
     year, and especially all the ones who paid the
     subscription.
     (Singing)

(R): Hello! Ringo here. As you know, I was the last member to
     join the Beatles. I started to drums in the group in
     1962. I've been in a couple of other groups ...

(P): Oh, just wish the people merry happy - go on - for
     Christmas, Christmas.

(R): Marry happy new year - and folks - happy Christmas and
     may, may everything you wish be granted.

(P): Sing, sing Wenslers, King Wenslers ...

(R): (Singing)

(G): Thank you, Ringo. Thank you, Ringo. We'll phone you.
     I'm George Harrison. Nobody else has said anything yet
     about our club secretaries. Ann Collingham and Bettina
     Rose. Not to mention Frieda Kelly in Liverpool.

(All): Good 'ol Frieda!

(G): So, on behalf of us all, I'd just like to say a great big
     thank you to Ann, Bettina, and Freida for all the hard
     work they've done. And we just hope you can go on pleasing
     you ... (Voice : Keep screaming!) ... for a long time.
     'Cause to, 'cause to get your reaction to our records
     that really matters! And I'd just like to say,
     (Singing)
	Brightly was the shown that night,
	Though the winter cruel.
	When a poke pie came inside,
	Gabbing winter cruel.

(All): (Singing)

(All): Merry Christmas, everybody!
