Most sources I look up say “get,” however I prefer “git.” It is not consistent among lyric websites though. I’ll check the official songbook tonight to see what it really is.

The ‘White Album ‘ lyric sheet has “get“, am sure it’s a Liverpool dialect slang thing.

Both git and get aren’t that different in pronunciation.

Very odd, I would have guessed “git” because it would make more sense definition wise.  I wonder if it was that way in the lyrics as to not offend anyone.

I hear ‘ih’ as in git  and ‘eh’ as in get differently. The way John puts the emphasis on it, cursing him, he spits out the word GET. To *my* ears. a-hard-days-night-george-9

It could be some weird accent thing… or maybe it is “get”, that is after all apparently what the official lyrics say.

It’s definitely ‘GET’, but I think he means it as ‘git’. I suppose it must be a Liverpool thing, because in one of the outtakes (I think it’s one of the Anthology takes of Eight Days A Week ) one Beatle refers to another as ‘ya daft get’.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter as long as we all get* the gist of what the lyric means. 

 

*or is it git?

Plot twist! Sir Walter Raleigh is immortal and never ages and drifts around the world. But it is super secret so keep it on the down low.

I wish I could find some pictures of the summer when I wore my Lennon glasses all of the time. I was so proud of my resemblance to the legend.

Of course @ewe2 is immortal. stuart-sutcliffe What I’m wondering is how you can be immortal only on weekends, @Necko.

….your name is mentioned and they’re blowing the gaff on your time-travel chameleon circuit and you have a lot of explaining to do about the signature already and they’re really going to pull you off this job and something has to be done about @Necko …you know what?

anigif_enhanced-buzz-31303-1383252055-20_preview.gifImage Enlarger

I think its “git” in a Liverpudlian accent, John’s accent can be a bit wacky with vowels. Damn it I forgot about the signature again…

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

I concede to the “it’s the accent” re: John saying git or get. Could be either one. I always say get when I sing along, but eh, whatevs. paul-mccartney-thumb_gif
