JOHN: Harp, it's a harp.
LEE PETERS: What's a harp?
JOHN: Uh, the harp. I'm playing a harp in this one.
LEE PETERS: Playing a harp?
JOHN: Harmonica I play in "Love Me Do", harp in this one, little. Mouth organ. Harp.

JOHN: There you go.
LEE PETERS: All right, sing the song, fellas.
JOHN: Okay, let's go.
