Hi guys
I’m new here and from the north of the UK (not Liverpool!). I’ve been a lifelong fan of the Beatles, my preferred era is post-touring 1966 when they advanced in the studio experiment phase- and left showbiz in their wake.
I’n their songs I’ve noticed three songs with swearing in- two apparently spontaneous and one ”hidden” lyric-
Girl (Rubber Soul , 1965) -chorus of ”tit, tit, tit…”
A Day In The Life (Sgt. Pepper , 1967) – in the final playout chord, someone whispers ”sh*t”
Hey Jude (single, 1968) – Just before the ‘Na-na-na’ chorus erupts 3/4mins in, Paul (or John) utters ”F**kin’ ‘ell!”
Are there any others?

“What they need’s a DAMN good whacking”, Piggies
“Cheeky BITCH”, Revolution 9
And here’s some that are debatable:
“Sie Leibt DICK”, Sie Liebt Dich (Spelled dich but The Beatles intentionally sung it as dick)
“Unless they try to play it too DARN fast”, Rock And Roll Music (Not really a bad word but rather a substitution for a worse one)
“TURNS ME ON when i get lonely”, She’s A Woman (In this context, turn me on means gets him an erection)
“Crabalocker fishwife, PORNOGRAPHIC priestess, boy you’ve been a naughty girl you let your KNICKERS down”, I Am The Walrus (Even once you realize that knickers isn’t a racial slur, the whole line is still very sexual in nature and uses sexual words with a sexual context)
“You get NAKED”, Revolution 9 (Not really a bad word but not the most appropriate one either)

If we’re counting the Star-Club tapes, John introduces “Shimmy Like Kate” as “Shitty Shitty” (and sings that lyric in place of “Shimmy Shimmy” a few times). And Paul sings “…too much fuckin’ feet” in “Your Feets Too Big”

George and Paul have also swore in solo numbers, not sure about Ringo.

I was reading this comment earlier and thought, how can anybody think ‘knickers’ is a racial slur – and then I realised you’d misheard the word.

Is that confirmed? Because I think the german CH-sound is quite hard to pronounce for foreigners, e.g. Brits, so almost every Brit would probably say dick instead of dich.
Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members.
