Songs: Beatles - "I Saw Her Standing There"

As I explained in Songs and Rhymes, most fun way to train your pronunciation is to sing along (using correct IPA) your favorite songs. Like Beatles - "I Saw Her Standing There" from AZlyrics.com
"I Saw Her Standing There" "aɪ sɔː hɜː ˈstændɪŋ ðeə"
one two three four wʌn tuː θriː fɔː
Well, she was just seventeen wɛl, ʃiː wɒz ʤʌst ˈsɛvnˈtiːn

And the way she looked was way beyond compare ænd ðə weɪ ʃiː lʊkt wɒz weɪ bɪˈjɒnd kəmˈpeə
So how could I dance with another (Ooh) səʊ haʊ kʊd aɪ dɑːns wɪð əˈnʌðə (uː)
When I saw her standing there wɛn aɪ sɔː hɜː ˈstændɪŋ ðeə




Well she looked at me, and I, I could see wɛl ʃiː lʊkt æt miː, ænd aɪ, aɪ kʊd siː
That before too long I'd fall in love with her ðæt bɪˈfɔː tuː lɒŋ aɪd fɔːl ɪn lʌv wɪð hɜː
She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh) ʃiː ˈwʊdnt dɑːns wɪð əˈnʌðə (Whooh)
When I saw her standing there wɛn aɪ sɔː hɜː ˈstændɪŋ ðeə




Well, my heart went "boom" wɛl, maɪ hɑːt wɛnt "buːm"
When I crossed that room wɛn aɪ krɒst ðæt ruːm
And I held her hand in mine ænd aɪ hɛld hɜː hænd ɪn maɪn




Whoah, we danced through the night Whoah, wiː dɑːnst θruː ðə naɪt
And we held each other tight ænd wiː hɛld iːʧ ˈʌðə taɪt
And before too long I fell in love with her ænd bɪˈfɔː tuː lɒŋ aɪ fɛl ɪn lʌv wɪð hɜː
Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh) naʊ aɪl ˈnɛvə dɑːns wɪð əˈnʌðə (Whooh)
When I saw her standing there wɛn aɪ sɔː hɜː ˈstændɪŋ ðeə




Well, my heart went "boom" wɛl, maɪ hɑːt wɛnt "buːm"

Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh) naʊ aɪl ˈnɛvə dɑːns wɪð əˈnʌðə (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing there sɪns aɪ sɔː hɜː ˈstændɪŋ ðeə
Oh since I saw her standing there əʊ sɪns aɪ sɔː hɜː ˈstændɪŋ ðeə
