I had not heard that one before....

Yes definitely know all the well known ones :laughing:
The ‘you know my name ‘ one I’d never heard before either.
Apparently was a b side to Let It Be. Sounds like a bit of messing around by the boys

Nice like that one again never heard it before. But then I’m not a big Beatles fan. Liking the instruments that have been added especially the guitar.

Yeah, it was written (entirely) and recorded (mostly) by Paul and John if I remember correctly. It was the last time they were in studio together before the split - or after.

There's some funny stories of how they recorded the vocals, not hard to find.

It's Brian Jones on the saxophone at the end.

Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine
I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
But still you ask me, do I love you?
What it is? What it is?
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine
I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
But still you ask me, do I love you?
What you say? What you say?
Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away
Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away
Well, I get up in the morning
And I'm looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness
And I know I can't get to sleep, oo-wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground

Nice songs especially when your down and out.

It was the Beatles messing around. It was recorded around August 1967 I believe and it was never meant for release. Of course, by the time Let It Be came out as a single, the Beatles had already split up and I guess this is what they had in the can.

Interesting side note: Brian Jones plays sax on You Know My Name.
